One of the most viral meme coins of 2024 is set for its highly-anticipated December launch, having now ended its ICO stage.
Pepe Unchained (PEPU) raised $73 million on presale as the FOMO reached a fever pitch, and has now announced that it will be listed on crypto exchanges on Tuesday, December 10th at 2pm UTC.
Initially that is expected to be Uniswap - follow the project’s Twitter (X) to be notified of the correct links to Uniswap or DEX aggregators like DEXTools and DEXScreener - beware of fake tokens that are listed before the official listing. As with any crypto ICO, admins will not DM you first - beware of accounts imitating admins which send unsolicited DMs.

A top-tier centralized crypto exchange is also reportedly set to be revealed alongside the DEX listing.
Whales Buy PEPU Just Before ICO Sells Out
Pepe Unchained has appealed to whales from the very start of its ICO. Back in July, a whale purchased $500k worth of PEPU in a single transaction.
Similarly, another whale stacked over $220k worth of the meme coin in 4 separate transactions, data from Etherscan reveals.
$50k buys in a single transaction were almost daily occurrences for Pepe Unchained. In mid November, a deep-pocketed investor swapped over $150k worth of ETH for PEPU.
Just a few minutes later, another whale purchased $120k worth of the meme coin.
That could bode well for its performance on exchanges once listed next week.
Pepe Unchained Goes Viral In Closing Days of Presale
2024 has seen an influx of new meme coins, especially with the hype about the upcoming ‘meme coin supercycle’.
Donald Trump’s re-election, Elon Musk’s continued backing of memes and meme coins and the Fed’s rate cuts have resulted in extreme bull market euphoria. Experts are also projecting an influx of retail investors as the Bitcoin price has now hit $100k and Dogecoin has also rallied close to its former ATH.
With such a backdrop, even run-of-the-mill meme coins can deliver outsized returns. However, Pepe Unchained isn’t an ordinary meme coin.
PEPU is a high-utility meme coin with many in-demand features. For instance, holders will soon be able to enjoy extremely low trading costs and instant transactions, features missing in most new Ethereum coins, thanks to Pepe Unchained’s Layer-2 chain.

This is the perfect formula to attract retail investment, along with the project’s staking pool which is currently offering passive income at an APY of 52%.
Similarly, Pepe Unchained is launching a meme coin launchpad on Ethereum, a direct competitor to Solana’s Pump Fun. Builders on Ethereum no longer need coding skills or a development team to launch a high-potential meme coin.
Pepe’s Pump Pad will do it for them in just two clicks. They can even apply for developer grants through a program called Pepe Friends With Benefits.
Pump.fun has been a remarkable success and has launched billon-dollar meme coins like $GOAT and $PNUT. It saw nearly $80 million in revenue in November.

It’s possible that Pepe’s Pump Pad will see similar success, especially since Ethereum has a much larger user base as compared to Solana.
Pepe Unchained - Next 100x Meme Coin?

In another video, he expects that Pepe Unchained could be one of the best-performing meme coins of late 2024.
Similarly, Nass Crypto, who has over 1 million YouTube subscribers, is impressed with the meme coin’s unique value proposition. His recent video has over 111k views.
