PEPE & Dogecoin investors buy into 1FUEL as analysts hint that this wallet exchange could see astronomical gains

Memecoins like Dogecoin and PEPE have shaken up the crypto market with their explosive growth and wild volatility. While these tokens continue to dominate many conversations, a growing number of investors are beginning to look beyond the hype for projects with real-world applications – projects like 1Fuel (OFT)

With smooth cross-chain transactions, security-focused solutions, and a vision for real-world crypto adoption, 1Fuel is quickly becoming the go-to investment for those DOGE and PEPE holders that are seeking a high-growth opportunity with real-world utility. Let’s find out why. 

Is hype enough? Why DOGE and PEPE investors are looking elsewhere

Dogecoin (DOGE) and PEPE have long been memecoin classics, attracting investors with their funny beginnings and volatile market performances. 

Dogecoin is currently trading at about $0.26, down 1.74% from the previous day. PEPE, on the other hand, is trading at about $0.0000094, marking a 3.9% fall over the previous day. These changes emphasize the intrinsic volatility of meme currencies, which, while providing chances for large returns, also carry huge downside risk for investors.

Despite their volatile nature, DOGE and PEPE have maintained significant market capitalizations, indicating sustained investor interest. Their significance is reinforced by recent developments, like Grayscale’s launch of a Dogecoin Trust, which aims to simplify investing processes for accredited investors. Such institutional endorsements point to a growing perspective of memecoins within the larger financial ecosystem.

However, their minimal utility puts them in stark contrast to emerging projects like 1Fuel (OFT), which offers features such as one-click cross-chain transactions, enhanced security, and practical utilities like crypto debit and credit cards. This contrast is encouraging many DOGE and PEPE investors to diversify their portfolios by adding this leading crypto to their holdings.

The wallet that does it all: 1Fuel’s unparalleled features

As memecoin investors are increasingly acknowledging that their investments in DOGE and PEPE exposes them to the risk of extreme volatility, they are offsetting this risk by continuing their buying spree for 1Fuel (OFT). It is an upcoming cryptocurrency wallet and a decentralized exchange that aims to transform TradFi.

1Fuel, at its center, facilitates one-click transactions between multiple blockchain networks and cryptocurrencies by eliminating barriers between blockchains and improving interoperability. It protects users from paying high network costs and creating many wallets for a single transaction. One only needs to select their preferred coin or token, decide what they want to buy regardless of network, and then let 1Fuel handle all of the technical intricacies. 

1Fuel sets another benchmark by providing a peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange that allows users to trade directly with one another in faster, safer, and less expensive ways. This also promotes decentralization that lets its users have complete control over their assets. 

Furthermore, by prioritizing top-notch security and privacy, 1Fuel is getting ready to introduce its physical and virtual crypto debit and credit cards. This will let users use their cryptocurrency holdings be used in daily-life transactions in a safe and secure way. 

Could 1Fuel be the next 100x opportunity?

1Fuel (OFT) is currently in its presale phase and has emerged as a leading player amongst new and emerging cryptos. The 1Fuel presale has already raised over $2 million in funding from investors of leading projects like DOGE and PEPE. 

Over 200,000,000 OFT tokens have been already sold, reflecting the massive hype surrounding this upcoming project. Each OFT token is currently trading at $0.018 but some analysts believe it could generate 40x presale gains and over 100x returns once the platform goes live and its native OFT tokens get listed on tier-1 exchanges.

Bitcoin Pepe hits $1.2m in under 24 hours: Is it an opportunity

With analysts doubling down on bullish predictions for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, investors keen to scoop potential gems have eyes on Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP).

A meme project that takes the best of Bitcoin and Solana, merging security and speed, has the crypto community buzzing. That explains why the Bitcoin Pepe presale crossed the $1 million mark within hours of launch.

Combined with other catalysts, the outlook for this project suggests the first ever meme ICO on Bitcoin could be a potential opportunity.

Why is Bitcoin Pepe attracting a lot of attention?

Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP) is not just the first meme ICO on Bitcoin. It is a project that brings “Solana on Bitcoin.” While social discussion on crypto channels include significant commentary on SOL spot ETFs, a sizable percentage of this is on other investment opportunities within the BTC and SOL ecosystem.

New project Bitcoin Pepe has stood out to enthusiasts and new entrants from the traditional finance space. In under 24 hours, the presale raised over $1.2 million.

This layer 2 chain built to tap into Solana’s speed and low fees to bring memes onto Bitcoin has flipped viral amid this outlook.

What underpins this perspective is the combination of Bitcoin’s staying power and the massive untapped DeFi opportunity on BTC. Bitcoin Pepe’s target, according to their whitepaper, is to unlock the DeFi and meme space for the flagship digital asset.

In short, Bitcoin Pepe is eyeing the $2 trillion within the BTC market and the ICO is an easy, likely bargain entry point. The scramble to get a piece of the BPEP pie is what has pushed the presale amount past $1.2 million in under 24 hours.

Is this a good time to buy Bitcoin Pepe?

Bitcoin Pepe offers 50% of the project’s 2.1 billion BPEP supply to the community via the presale.

Per details on the BPEP presale page, interest has already seen stages 1 and 2 sell out. The price of BPEP has increased to $0.0232, and will jump to $0.0243 in the next stage. Overall, BPEP price will increase throughout the 30 ICO stages.

Notably, BPEP presale price will increase by 5%. Early birds have the potential to sit on a possible 300% upside by the time the ICO hits the final stage.

Another thing is that ICO stage buyers across the ecosystem have reaped big after taking an early bet on standout projects. These include multiple success stories that emerged during the Ethereum ICO boom. Solana itself rose from lows of $0.22 in 2020 to hit $294 – current price is an impressive 39,298% from the low of $0.50 in May 2020.

Bitcoin Pepe plans to go live in the market in the second quarter.

Should Bitcoin Pepe ride the BTC, SOL and broader meme coin sentiment in 2025, the current $0.02 ICO price could be an opportunity worth exploring.

Hester Peirce said the government shouldn’t hinder people who want to try new things

  • Commissioner Peirce wants a government that serves the American people and doesn’t stop others from trying new things
  • Often referred to as “Crypto Mom,” Peirce sees herself more as a “freedom maximalist”
  • Commissioner Peirce is head of the SEC’s new crypto task force

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has said that it’s been “extremely frustrating” watching what’s been happening within crypto when people want to try new things.

Speaking in an interview on Bloomberg, the newly appointed head of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) new crypto task force said:

“Watching what’s happened to crypto for the past several years has just been extremely frustrating for someone who believes that government is there to serve the American people, not to stymie them when they’re trying new things.”

The crypto task force aims to provide regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. The agency is also planning to work with other agencies, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to achieve its goal.

Not a free-for-all

Commissioner Peirce, who’s often described as “Crypto Mom,” said she referred to herself more as a “freedom maximalist” rather than someone who’s an advocate for the industry.

When asked as a freedom maximalist if she believes the crypto industry should be regulated, Peirce said she was committed to using the existing statutory framework, adding that “it doesn’t mean a free-for-all all. It doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want. We have rules in place and those rules will be enforced.”

At the same time, Peirce adds that US regulation is designed to have basic parameters while allowing people to have “maximum freedom to innovate and try new things…with the understanding that with that comes responsibility and that if something goes wrong, you don’t necessarily have someone to run to.”

Gemini receives in-principle approval for an investment firm license in Malta

  • The approval marks a significant step for Gemini which has picked Malta as its EU hub for its MiCA application
  • Gemini will be able to offer customers perpetual futures contracts and options throughout the EU and the EEA
  • A growing number of crypto platforms are expanding their services to Europe

Crypto exchange Gemini has been granted in-principle approval for an investment firm license from Malta’s financial regulator.

In a blog post, Mark Jennings, Gemini’s head of Europe, announced the news on February 11. The step marks a significant moment for the crypto exchange which has picked Malta as its EU hub for its Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) application.

Jennings said that once the in-principle license is granted, Gemini will be able to offer perpetual futures contracts and options throughout the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II).

“Achieving in-principle approval marks a crucial step in our 2025 European expansion strategy,” Jennings added.

Expanding into Europe

Gemini’s in-principle approval comes at a time when more organizations are turning to Europe to expand their services.

Since the full rollout of the MiCA regulation in the EU at the end of 2024, a growing number of crypto platforms and service providers have already received approval. The approval of MiCA enables providers to offer their products and services in the EEA.

Companies that have received full MiCA licenses include Bitpanda, Boerse Stuttgart Digital, Circle, Coinbase, Crypto.com, MoonPay, and OKX.
