Crypto News Today: AlphaPepe Presale Announces $1.22M Raised While Bitcoin Price Prediction Targets $200,000

MONACO, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crypto news today is turning toward AlphaPepe after the project announced that its presale has raised over $1.22 million while Stage 16 remains live at $0.01700 per token. The holder count has passed 8,600, the AlphaSwap AI DEX demo has surpassed 3,000 active users, and the project has completed a full 10/10 BlockSAFU security audit ahead of its planned Q2 2026 exchange debut. The $1.22 million raise gives AlphaPepe a clear company milestone as Bitcoin price prediction headlines return to the $200,000 target. Fundstrat's Tom Lee has kept the $200,000 to $250,000 range in focus for 2026 as institutional demand, ETF inflows, and broader market strength continue to shape the Bitcoin cycle. AlphaPepe Announces $1.22M Presale Milestone as Stage 16 Builds Momentum AlphaPepe crossing $1.22 million marks another major step in the project's presale trajectory. Stage 16 remains active at $0.01700, and more than 8,600 holders have joined before the token reaches public trading. That continued growth shows the presale is building beyond early launch attention through stage progression, product usage, audit completion, and community expansion as the Q2 launch window tightens. The stage-based structure gives AlphaPepe a visible presale rhythm. Each stage transition brings the next scheduled pricing step closer, while token delivery remains instant with no vesting and no claim delay. That simple delivery model removes one of the common friction points that often creates uncertainty in early-stage launches. The core product behind the project is AlphaSwap, AlphaPepe's AI-powered decentralized exchange designed for safer and smarter on-chain trading. The AlphaSwap demo has already surpassed 3,000 active users, giving the project a working product environment before exchange access. That is a major distinction in a presale market where many projects still approach public trading with only a roadmap and future utility promise. AlphaSwap includes AI contract screening, whale wallet tracking, and cross-chain execution on BSC. The contract screening layer is designed to detect risky token behavior before users interact with a smart contract. The whale tracking system gives users visibility into large wallet movements as they happen. The ... Full story available on Benzinga.com
