Bitcoin Penguins (BPENGU), the latest penguin-themed meme coin to grab the crypto community’s attention, has crossed the halfway mark in its 30-day flash presale, raising over $3.4 million.
The milestone comes as broader market sentiment points toward an approaching altcoin season, potentially adding momentum to new projects like BPENGU.
The presale, now in stage 10, offers the token at $0.00155, with the price increasing by 5% every 48 hours.
At its current pace, early investors could see up to 75% gains before BPENGU lists on September 2.
The limited timeline—just 13 days remaining—has contributed to growing demand among retail buyers seeking early positioning.
What’s driving interest in Bitcoin PenguinsA major catalyst for the recent presale surge was the project’s weekly BTC giveaway campaign.
The first winner, announced on August 12, received a full Bitcoin, an event that triggered significant buzz across social platforms.
In the 24 hours following the announcement, BPENGU attracted an additional $430,000 in presale inflows.
The giveaways will continue until the presale closes, with each week’s draw open to all participants who have purchased BPENGU during the sale period.
The marketing push has amplified the project’s visibility, drawing interest from both meme coin traders and yield-seeking investors.
BPENGU also offers staking rewards designed to incentivise long-term holding.
Holders can lock their tokens for 3, 6, or 12 months, earning annual yields of 50%, 80%, and 100% respectively.
The top 30 stakers are featured on a public leaderboard, adding a competitive element to participation.
With the token price climbing steadily and the presale stages progressing rapidly, many buyers are aiming to lock in yields before higher entry prices set in.
Market conditions favour altcoinsThe BPENGU rally is unfolding against a backdrop of improving sentiment toward altcoins.
Coinbase Institutional’s global head of research, David Duong, noted in a report on Thursday that current conditions point to a possible “full-scale altcoin season” as September approaches.
The firm defines such a period as when 75% of the top 50 altcoins outperform Bitcoin over the past 90 days.
Duong highlighted significant retail capital sitting in money market funds, suggesting that any Federal Reserve policy easing could “unlock greater retail participation” in the coming months.
This alignment of market trends and presale hype could position BPENGU to benefit from shifting capital flows toward newer, higher-risk crypto plays—particularly those with strong community engagement and distinctive branding.
