Bitcoin Pepe
With the Federal Reserve about to ease money policy by reducing rates in early 2025, the cryptocurrency market is registering fresh signs of optimism. In the past, reduced interest rates have infused risk-on assets like cryptocurrencies with liquidity, which typically thrive in these phases of growth.
While dominance continues to remain with Bitcoin and Ethereum, interest is being redirected towards lesser-popular tokens having strong narratives, developing use cases, and increasingly large communities.
This article discusses three new projects that are gaining momentum in Q2 2025: Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP), PepeX (PEPEX), and CartelFi (CARTFI). All three projects are supported by actual developments, not hype, and highlight various facets of innovation within the blockchain space.
Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP)
Bitcoin Pepe is trying something bold a Bitcoin Layer 2 blockchain specifically for meme coins, blending the security of Bitcoin with the speed and cheap fees of Solana. It brings with it the PEP-20 token standard, aiming to do better than limitations experienced in BRC-20.
Some of the key features are:
- Almost instant transactions through Layer 2 technology
- Reduced fees over BRC-20 models
- Support for Bitcoin infrastructure
Hacken security audits have enhanced investor trust, and its tiered presale pricing increasing 5% per round—has established a natural evolution for early investors. With more than $6 million raised, BPEP is now priced at $0.0295 in stage 8.
Speculative as it may be, the project points to increasing demand for scalable meme-based infrastructure on Bitcoin, a trend that could shape 2025’s altcoin story.
PepeX (PEPEX)
PepeX addresses one of the most prevalent investor fears regarding meme coins insider control. With 95% of its entire supply allocated to presale and just 5% for the team, the project is designed with transparency at its core.
Key points are:
- Presale model avoids team-controlled holdings
- Makes use of Bubble Maps to display wallet ownership and avoid whale manipulation
- Prioritizes community-first strategy
PepeX has already raised more than $1.2 million, featuring a 30-stage presale format that rises by 5% per stage. Publicizing its use of on-chain analysis, especially Bubble Maps, by the team provides unprecedented transparency in an environment usually shrouded in mystery through the use of hidden wallets and insider rounds.
Its extremely transparent tokenomics model has the potential to establish a new benchmark for subsequent meme coin launches.
CartelFi (CARTFI)
CartelFi provides DeFi utilities to convert idle meme coins into assets that generate yield. With staking pools supporting widely traded meme coins such as $PEPE and $SHIB, users can collect passive earnings rather than merely holding and hoping.
Some of the key features are:
- Stake meme coins to earn yield (without selling them)
- Deflationary model: Buybacks + 50% token burns
- ICO executes in 30 rounds with progressive 5% price hikes every 3 days
CartelFi capitalizes on the growing momentum for real yield in crypto, balancing DeFi protocols with meme coin culture. Total supply is limited to 1 billion tokens, and the release date will be April 8. 25% of tokens will be available in presale.
Successful, CartelFi has the potential to change the utility of meme coins from speculation to demonstrating how to integrate yield farming into even the most memed corners of crypto.
HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu (BITCOIN)
HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu merges pop icons and meme culture to create one of the most unlikely and volatile meme coins. With appearances by Harry Potter, Barack Obama, and Sonic the Hedgehog, it’s developed a community-driven, viral following.
With more than 47.5K social media followers and an all-time increase of 600,000%, the coin lives off memes, humor, and its absurdity-based branding. Members of the community repeatedly generate shareable content, keeping the token trending on platforms.
It’s brazen, disorganized, and pure meme-fueled speculation—but evidently, that’s part of its appeal in a post-meme economy.
Zerebro
Zerebro is a cutting-edge AI agent that can autonomously create and share content on decentralized networks. With a hyperstition age in mind, it’s making fiction a force of finance.
In collaboration with Sonic Labs and DoraHacks, Zerebro fuels the Sonic DeFAI Hackathon—awarding $250,000 in prizes to developers building AI agents that are capable of executing on-chain and social media interactions.
From X to Telegram, Zerebro’s footprint is expanding. With its blend of AI, narrative control, and blockchain, it’s shaping up to be one of the most unusual but promising crypto experiments.
Final Thoughts
Meme coins are no longer jokes some are now taking advantage of serious technology, transparent listings, and DeFi functionality. Though the industry is still high-risk, Bitcoin Pepe, PepeX, and CartelFi are attempting to change the narrative.
With rate cuts crawling ever-closer, higher liquidity may push these low-cap plays higher. As a retail buyer or simply a market trend watcher, monitoring innovative meme coin models may give you an edge.
