After surpassing $9 million on August 16, Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) has added another $600,000 in just three days, bringing its total funds raised to over $9.6 million.
This new milestone represents a 4,700% increase in capital raised since its launch two months ago, despite the broader crypto market shedding off $265 billion in value.
The massive influx of funds in a short period shows that the crypto market is eyeing Pepe Unchained as a potential new meme coin anchor, banking on its promise to make Pepe ownership faster and cheaper with its proprietary blockchain.
Currently priced at $0.0091996, $PEPU has seen several price bumps as investors quickly snapped up the tokens in the previous presale stages.
In less than 48 hours, the price will rise again to $0.00923640 to kick off a new round of funding, a 15.46% increase from its initial presale price of $0.008.
Despite a general downturn throughout August, meme coins have delivered one of their strongest performances in the past 24 hours, with a 9.4% gain.
Coins like Dogecoin ($DOGE) and Shiba Inu ($SHIB) are trending on CoinGecko, with gains of 5.6% and 5.4%, respectively. Sunpepe ($SUNPEPE) and Pepe ($TRUMP) have surged by 664.5% and 109%, respectively.
**Leading Pepe-themed token Pepe ($PEPE) is also trending, with a more modest gain of 11.9%.** However, hoping to see $PEPE generate returns like it did earlier this year – often surpassing 45% in a single day – may be a long shot.
With the introduction of Pepe Unchained in June, a solution to the issues of Pepe ownership was introduced.
Pepe Unchained's Layer 2 chain, built on top of Ethereum, functions as an independent blockchain with its own consensus mechanism and blockchain explorer. It's designed to make buying Pepe faster and cheaper.
