Ethereum-based meme project Wall Street Pepe (WEPE) has been one of the most popular crypto presales of early 2025.
The project, which combines meme culture with trading tools for retail investors, has now raised over $60 million in presale funding.
WEPE token presale gains momentum ahead of first exchange listing
Wall Street Pepe’s presale has gained momentum since going live in December.
Daily investments have crossed the $1 million mark, and total funding has reached $61.4 million.
WEPE tokens are currently priced at $0.0003665 each.
Would-be investors can buy tokens through multiple channels – from crypto payments to debit card purchases and direct buys through the Best Wallet app.
With just 20 days remaining before the presale ends, expectations are increasing around WEPE’s first exchange listing.

No official announcements have been made, but the community believes a Uniswap listing will come first, followed by possible CEX listings.
Wall Street Pepe’s growing presence is reflected in its social media following.
The project’s official Twitter page now has over 40,000 followers, while its Telegram channel has over 18,000 members.
WEPE has even been ranked on CoinSniper.net, a well-known crypto ratings site.
This indicates that interest in the token is increasing as the presale enters its final stage.
Early WEPE investors are now wondering whether this trend will continue into the token’s market debut next month.
Wall Street Pepe offers exclusive trading tools and staking rewards
Beyond the suited-up frog mascot and Wall Street energy, Wall Street Pepe is positioning itself as more than just another meme coin.
The project’s core appeal lies in its ecosystem of trading tools, which will be accessible exclusively to WEPE holders.
These tools aim to provide equal opportunities for retail investors and crypto whales.
WEPE holders will have access to real-time market analysis, trading signals, and what the developers call “alpha calls” – early information about potential buying opportunities.
The ecosystem also features a staking protocol that’s already live.
This protocol currently offers estimated APYs of 20% - with over 40.4 billion WEPE locked up so far.
Staking rewards are accrued daily and will be distributed over three years.
Overall, the combination of meme elements and practical features is driving the early investor interest.
The developers are aiming to balance meme coins' viral nature with the functionality that serious investors require.
A deep dive into Wall Street Pepe’s tokenomics and market potential
Wall Street Pepe has a clear tokenomics structure.
According to the project’s whitepaper, 38% of the WEPE supply will be dedicated to marketing efforts, followed by a 20% “Frog Fund” for development.
The remaining allocations are split evenly between trading rewards and exchange liquidity at 15% each – with the final portion reserved for staking rewards.
Wall Street Pepe has also completed a smart contract audit from Coinsult.
Coinsult’s audit confirmed the integrity of WEPE’s code and that the developers cannot mint new tokens.
WEPE’s ranking on ICOHotList.com shows the market’s interest ahead of the token’s launch.
This launch timing coincides with an interesting period for meme coins.
As selling pressure ramps up, the sector’s overall value has dipped below $90 billion.
However, investor sentiment remains generally optimistic.
Much of this optimism is due to the political climate, particularly around crypto-friendly policies that might benefit the sector as a whole.
Time will tell whether Wall Street Pepe will take advantage of this positive sentiment and live up to its early potential.
