- The Bitcoin Pepe presale has remained resilient ever since its inception.
- Over the weekend, the presale saw inflows of over $250,000.
- The inflows are in line with the massive inflows seen in crypto ETPs.
Bitcoin edged above the $107,000 mark on Monday following a volatile weekend fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading at $107,140, up 1.8% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
Attention is now focused on the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
According to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, markets are pricing in a 96.7% probability that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50%.
However, traders are expected to closely scrutinise Chair Jerome Powell’s comments for any hints on the direction of future policy, which could significantly impact sentiment across risk assets.
Fueling the current uptick in optimism are continued inflows into crypto investment products.
That improving sentiment is beginning to ripple through to early-stage projects, with Bitcoin Pepe emerging as a notable beneficiary.
The meme-centric Layer 2 token project, which aims to combine Bitcoin’s security with Solana-style scalability, has seen a surge in presale interest over the past week, reflecting investor appetite for high-upside plays.
Crypto ETPs see massive inflows
Cryptocurrency investment products extended their inflow streak to a ninth consecutive week, fueled by renewed investor interest as Bitcoin hovered near recent highs and Ether briefly crossed the $2,800 threshold for the first time since February.
According to CoinShares, global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted $1.9 billion in net inflows for the week ended Friday, pushing year-to-date (YTD) inflows to a historic high of $13.2 billion.
Total assets under management in crypto ETPs climbed to $179 billion, up from $175.9 billion the previous week.
After two weeks of minor outflows, Bitcoin investment vehicles drew $1.3 billion in inflows, topping all other digital assets.
Even short-Bitcoin products saw modest inflows of $3.7 million, though their total AUM remains comparatively low at $96 million.
Ether ETPs ranked second, pulling in $583 million, the largest weekly inflow for ETH-linked products since February.
CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, noted that the surge included Ether’s strongest single-day inflows in months, signalling robust institutional interest returning to the market.
Bitcoin Pepe bags strong inflows
The crypto market has endured months of volatility, from sharp rallies and painful corrections to erratic shifts in investor sentiment.
Top meme coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and PEPE have largely failed to break out during this period, moving in tandem with a broader market that has lacked sustained direction.
Yet amid this turbulence, the Bitcoin Pepe presale has remained resilient, consistently drawing fresh capital at a time when many speculative assets have faltered.
Over the past week alone, the project registered inflows of more than $500,000, underscoring its growing traction even as broader market conditions remain uncertain.
Positioned as the first meme-centric Layer 2 network built on Bitcoin, Bitcoin Pepe is attempting to redefine what a meme token can be.
By combining Bitcoin’s robust base layer security with the scalability typically associated with chains like Solana, the project aims to offer more than just viral hype — it is pitching real infrastructure value.
To support its Layer 2 ambitions, Bitcoin Pepe has formed strategic partnerships with Super Meme, Catamoto, and Plena Finance, strengthening its ecosystem and technical foundation.
This dual narrative — technical substance paired with meme culture virality — is helping the project stand out.
Its presale has now crossed $14.5 million in total inflows, with BPEP tokens priced at $0.0416.
With just 1 day remaining until its scheduled listing announcement on June 17, attention is intensifying as investors rotate into early-stage, high-upside plays, and Bitcoin Pepe appears to be one of the most closely watched names in that space.
