The Gruntle ($GRUNTLE) presale has surpassed $104,000 in contributions, reaching 93% of its Round 5 target of $111,600. The meme coin, built around a deadpan capybara mascot, offers a fixed entry price of $0.000625 that will soon increase to $0.000627 before a scheduled Phase 3 DEX listing at $0.000713.
Early buyers can stake tokens via Hibernation Staking, which currently displays a variable 11,110% APY, drawn from a 250 million token rewards pool. The APY decays as more participants stake, favoring early commitments. The project's smart contract was audited by CredShields on May 13, 2026.
The presale momentum coincides with a broader market retreat: Bitcoin dropped to $77,390, while Ethereum slipped to $2,128, reflecting institutional selling pressure and fading ETF inflows. Against this backdrop, Gruntle positions itself as a low-hype refuge with the Deep Mud Reserve locking 20% of total supply for post-listing buybacks and burns.
