Pepe (PEPE) has surged 121% in the past month to overtake Uniswap (UNI) as the world’s 21st-largest crypto, a feat that underscores why there’s so much focus on the Pepe Unchained launch tomorrow.

Pepe Unchained (PEPU) is a new Pepe challenger that’s raised almost $74 million to become the most successful meme coin presale ever. Its unabashed goal? To dethrone PEPE as the king of frog-themed cryptos.

The showdown between the heavyweight incumbent, with a market cap of $11.6 billion, and the upstart challenger begins in earnest tomorrow, Dec. 10, at 2 p.m. UTC, when Pepe Unchained lists on the Uniswap decentralized exchange (DEX).

From the outset of its presale, PEPU made it clear it wasn’t daunted by Pepe’s heft. PEPU trumpeted its proprietary Layer 2 blockchain, which comes with lightning-fast speeds and low fees, while mocking Pepe’s clunky, expensive home on the Ethereum blockchain.

As its presale unfolded, so PEPU added more leading-edge features to its arsenal. It unveiled a meme coin launchpad called Pepe Pump Pad that will allow users to create meme coins with just a couple of clicks, eliminating the need for coding.

This platform aims to challenge Solana’s Pump.fun, illustrating the scale and audacity of the project’s ambition.

It’s been a long journey, and the $PEPU presale has seen unprecedented demand.

It also unveiled developer grants via its ‘’Pepe Friends With Benefits’’ program to attract top crypto brains to help ensure its ecosystem remains at the cutting edge.

And there’s a staking pool that offers token holders a lucrative 51% annual return.

By last month, YouTuber ClayBro, who has more than 133k subscribers, was saying that PEPU was a meme coin phenomenon that could lead “the $1 trillion meme coin supercycle.”

Is The Pepe Unchained Launch The Biggest-Ever Threat To Pepe’s Ascendancy?

As the millions pouring into the Pepe Unchained presale coffers mounted, the idea that it might be the biggest-ever threat to Pepe’s ascendancy gained credibility.

By last month, PEPU had gained so much momentum that keyword data searches provided by Ahrefs showed Pepe Unchained amassing 50,000 monthly searches, higher than the 37,000 for popular consumer items like Bluetooth headphones.

Will investors recognize that by most measures PEPU is a superior crypto to Pepe after it launches tomorrow? And will that prompt them to switch loyalty to the new upstart?

Pepe Unchained Launch: Are Binance, Coinbase Listings Possible?

Investors have already put their money where their mouths are, betting almost $74 million that PEPU is a challenger with the potential to replicates Pepe’s explosive growth. Pepe has skyrocketed by 100,444% since its all-time low in April 2023, according to CoinMarketCap.

Speculation is already rife that PEPU’s phenomenal presale success could help it win a coveted listing on Coinbase or Binance, and PEPU’s development team has indicated that listings on major centralized exchanges are in the works.

When Pepe listed on Coinbase and Robinhood last month, its price shot through the ceiling.

So, let the battle begin. The stakes are high and the race for frog-themed meme coin supremacy is about to enter a new chapter.
