  • Stage 16 of AlphaPepe’s presale is nearing sell-out at $0.01717 per token, with the project saying it has raised more than $1.25 million ahead of a planned Q2 2026 exchange debut.
  • AlphaPepe tied that momentum to user and product traction: its AlphaSwap AI DEX demo has topped 4,000 active users, and the project says it completed a 10/10 BlockSAFU security audit.
  • The release also highlighted instant token delivery with no vesting or claim delay, while saying each presale stage brings the next scheduled price increase closer.
  • Broader crypto market optimism formed the backdrop, with Fundstrat’s Tom Lee pointing to a $200,000-$250,000 Bitcoin range for 2026 if institutional adoption and ETF demand keep building.
AlphaPepe claims a perfect security audit, but reports show extreme risk. What is the truth behind its safety?
With 94% of its tokens in two wallets, is this presale a community success or a setup for a market dump?
