Two presale meme coin projects are drawing attention as established Layer-1 tokens hold key levels. Apeing is currently in Stage 5 of its 33-stage presale at a price of $0.00055 per $APEING, with the next stage set to move to $0.0006. The project has sold more than 460 million tokens, raised over $104,000, and attracted over 400 holders ahead of its planned public debut. Prominent crypto analyst Michael Wrubel has spotlighted the presale, pointing to a $0.01 listing target and ecosystem features such as Ape Wars and deflationary tokenomics. Apeing has a fixed total supply of 16.75 billion tokens, 40% allocated to the presale, and unsold tokens from completed stages are burned.
At the same time, AlphaPepe has passed $2.78 million in presale funding and crossed 12,000 holders before its first public exchange listing. The project is in Stage 20 with ALPE priced at $0.0308, and more than 100 new holders are joining daily. AlphaSwap Early Access is already live, and four centralized exchange partnerships have been announced ahead of a DEX launch scheduled for Q1 2027. Analysts cited in the promotional campaign are targeting a potential $1 price within two years, which would represent more than a 30x increase from the current Stage 20 entry.
Outside the presale sector, Hedera rallied more than 8% in 24 hours to a high of $0.1006, with a market capitalization near $4.38 billion and spot volume above $242 million. Bulls are watching the $0.11 area as the next resistance after HBAR broke above $0.09. Solana is also holding near $118.22, up about 0.6%, with a market cap of $69.45 billion and 24-hour volume above $4.49 billion. The $120 level remains a key psychological hurdle, while SOL trades well below its January 2025 all-time high of $294.33.
Both presale projects are promotional in nature and carry high risk, but their stages are moving quickly. Apeing’s Stage 5 allocation is time-sensitive before the price rises to $0.0006, and AlphaPepe’s Stage 20 buyers still have a pre-listing entry at $0.0308 before the next price increase.
