HYPE outperforms major cryptos, Bitcoin Pepe prepares for listing

TL;DR

• Hyperliquid’s HYPE is the best performer among the major cryptocurrencies, up 7% in the last 24 hours.
• The Bitcoin Pepe presale is ending soon as the team prepares for exchange listing on June 17th.

HYPE outperforms the broader market

The broader cryptocurrency market is having a positive start to the week, with Bitcoin and other major coins in the green. Bitcoin hit the $106k level earlier today and could rally higher in the near term.

However, Hyperliquid’s HYPE is the best performer among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. It added 7% to its value to hit the $35 mark and has now surpassed SUI to become the 11th-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

In the past year, HYPE added over 1,000% to its value, showcasing its growing importance to the broader cryptocurrency market. Emerging tokens such as Bitcoin Pepe could record a similar price surge thanks to their utility within the memecoin ecosystem and beyond.

Bitcoin Pepe’s presale approaches $14m

The Bitcoin Pepe presale has been on for several weeks, and it is currently in its last leg. The $BPEP token is currently sold for $0.0396, and this could be the final opportunity for investors to purchase it at a discount.

Bitcoin Pepe is a unique project that aims to enhance memecoin trading on the Bitcoin blockchain. The team is developing an L2 network to leverage Bitcoin’s liquidity and security to build a thriving memecoin trading ecosystem.

According to the Bitcoin Pepe whitepaper, the L2 will enable developers to have access to tools to migrate their memes from other blockchains to the Bitcoin blockchain. The Bitcoin Pepe ecosystem will be fully powered by $BPEP, its native coin. Developers will use the token to pay for fees and other transactions. The presale has raised $13.6 million and is set to end in the coming hours or days.

$BPEP to list on exchanges on June 17th

With the Bitcoin Pepe presale approaching its end, the team is already looking forward to the $BPEP listing. Previously slated for June 4th, the team announced a few hours ago that the listing announcement is now set for June 17th, with more information coming.

The new date is a result of Bitcoin Pepe working with several exchanges to list its native token. The listing on centralised and decentralised exchanges will make $BPEP available to millions of investors worldwide. 

Its L2 network could gain massive adoption by allowing developers to launch memecoins on Bitcoin, the world’s most liquid and secure blockchain. If it gains massive adoption, its native $BPEP could record a similar or even better price surge than HYPE in the medium to long term. 

With the presale still on, investors can buy $BPEP via the Bitcoin Pepe website. Accepted modes of payment include ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, and SOL.
