24 hours to go: $14.2m raised with Bitcoin Pepe listing info coming

$14.2m raised, 24 hours left, and Bitcoin’s first meme ICO is about to unleash its CEX masterplan, Bitcoin Pepe is built different.

What happens when the most speculative corner of crypto starts anchoring itself to the most secure base layer of them all?

That’s the question hanging over Bitcoin Pepe, the first meme ICO on Bitcoin, which has raised more than $14.2m. It is now nearing its final phase after receiving a last-minute influx of $500,000 due to an unexpected extension of the listing period. 

Originally slated for May 31, the listing was pushed to mid-June to line up more tier 1 exchange support. 

Strategic delay? Undoubtedly, this delay is strategic in nature. It’s clearly setting the stage for a synchronized CEX blitz.

With June 17 set as the date for full listing details, anticipation is now boiling over. If $500k moved that fast on a date change, the listing drop itself could be jet fuel.

The first meme ICO on Bitcoin? Say hello to the new meme layer 2 

For the first time, a meme ICO is being born on Bitcoin. With Bitcoin Pepe as the entry point, Bitcoin (BTC) becomes the new foundation for the meme economy. 

The dev team is building a full layer 2 on Bitcoin. This Layer 2 will utilize the same kind of tooling and infrastructure that Ethereum and Solana used to create entire economies around memes, NFTs, and social tokens, but it will be built on the backbone of Bitcoin, the oldest and most liquid asset in crypto. This Layer 2 will serve as a platform for managing frogs, JPEGs, tokens, and transactions.

Demo leaks show a product that’s surprisingly polished, not just promising.

The bridge interface is clean and bold, with no clutter; connect your wallet, bring BTC over, and receive BPEP. Safety warnings, compatibility checks, and support info are built into the bridge, the explorer, and the DEX UI. It’s a layer 2 for newbies, but it doesn’t talk down and is way smoother than some existing L2 tools.

Why BPEP has the 100x momentum to back it up

Bitcoin Pepe is backed by actual protocol infrastructure, not just a ticker and a hope.

First, the PEP-20 token standard means native asset issuance on Bitcoin for the first time. Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard sparked a token creation boom, and now Bitcoin’s getting its turn. BPEP will serve as the central hub of this activity. 

Second, eight partnerships have been confirmed, covering gaming, content, DeFi, and fair-launch tooling, so a whole suite of use cases is being built on top of it. Memes represent only the beginning; cultural liquidity is on its way.

And by the looks of it, the market already voted with its wallet: $500k raised on the announcement of the presale extension. With June 17 pegged for the listing reveal, expect those numbers to accelerate.

Influencers on crypto X and YouTube are already picking up the scent. They know what this is: a new token standard, a fresh DeFi layer, and a memecoin run embedded on crypto’s most trusted chain.

24 hours until listing info: Timing is everything

Michael Saylor recently told Bloomberg that he sees Bitcoin heading to $1 million. Whether or not you buy the number, sentiment is shifting. If Bitcoin does move toward higher valuations, the key question becomes, where does that liquidity go once it’s in the system?

In a cycle where Bitcoin moves first and everything else lags, the Bitcoin Pepe project could become the cultural high-beta derivative of BTC itself.

There will be coordinated listings, more CEX presence, and a better runway for buyers. And now, that runway ends on June 17 with what could be one of the loudest listing announcements in memecoin history.

The listing info is coming fast, and once it drops, it’s open season.
