DeFi and crypto gaming platform Mpeppe (MPEPE) has raised more than $3 million (£2.3 million) in its crypto token presale. This is a major milestone for a project that claims its going to change the crypto gaming landscape.

New Gaming Platform on Telegram

Alongside the presale success, Mpeppe (MPEPE) has unveiled a Telegram-based gaming platform, offering users the chance to earn  Mpeppe tokens. The platform’s decentralised application (DApp) enables seamless participation in games, DeFi and more. Early users can take advantage of the MPEPE30 promo code, which offers a 30% bonus on token purchases.

You can access the community on Telegram here.

Upcoming Mpeppe Casino

Mpeppe (MPEPE) is also preparing to launch the Mpeppe Casino, a blockchain-based gaming platform that will use MPEPE tokens. This venture aims to capitalise on the viral nature of memes and the inherent advantages of blockchain technology. It will be secure and payouts will be fast. Anonymity and fair gaming are both guaranteed and the transactions should be frictionless, which opens up opportunities for in-game betting. 

Early Bird Promotion

To celebrate the launch, Mpeppe (MPEPE) has created the $MPEPE30 promo code, giving early participants a 30% bonus on token purchases..

With its blend of meme culture, blockchain technology, and the upcoming casino launch, Mpeppe (MPEPE) is positioning itself as more than a simple memecoin pump..

Who is Pepe the Frog?

Mpeppe is based on the iconic Pepe the Frog. He first surfaced in 2005 as a harmless cartoon character in the ‘Boys Club’ series by Matt Furie. All the little frog did was observe humorous situations and say his catchphrase: “Feels Good Man.”

The Internet loved him, but in the 2010s he actually became a controversial figure when he was adopted as an unofficial mascot by communities on 4Chan and Reddit. The friendly little frog was even labeled as a far right hate symbol for a while by the Anti Defamation League, which shows just how far the internet can take things and how little control the original creator has over meme culture. 

Pepe’s Redemption

Furie took legal action to prevent Pepe’s image being used by certain groups, and in recent years Pepe’s image has cleaned up considerably. He’s been embraced by the cryptocurrency community and still has a cult following 19 years after his creation and despite his darker phase.

This is the second token created in his honour, with PepeCoin launching in 2023, shooting up in price on launch and then dying down after the early hype. Mpeppe will hope that the casino and the real world use function for the token will help to create a more stable foundation for this coin. 

Meme Culture Casinos Already a Thing

Mpeppe follows in the footsteps of Wall Street Bets, which has already shown how lucrative meme culture can be if it’s harnessed right. The WSB meme community shot to fame during the GameStop and AMC stock surges and the WSB Casino found a foothold with a counter culture community that was already open to cryptocurrencies, DeFi platforms and, based on their stock preferences, was clearly into online gambling. 

So the idea works, in principle, and we’ll follow Mpeppe with interest.
