After six months of active marketing, Pepe Buldak is nearing the end of its presale. The project has gained significant attention through global media partnerships, the first Korean-language advertisement on Etherscan, and a series of 13 AMA sessions on Binance. A countdown banner is now displayed on the official website, indicating that the claim period will conclude in two weeks. Once this phase ends, Pepe Buldak will move forward with its plan to list on both decentralized (DEX) and centralized (CEX) exchanges, aligning with its roadmap.
Pepe Buldak was launched to challenge the dominance of foreign-origin meme coins in the Korean market. The project aims to establish itself as Korea’s first globally recognized meme coin, breaking the trend where only non-Korean meme coins gain listings on domestic exchanges.
Beyond its meme coin identity, Pepe Buldak is developing “Open Franchise,” a Web3-based franchise model that connects blockchain technology with real-world businesses. By incorporating elements of K-culture, Pepe Buldak has attracted an international audience and created an engaging platform that blends entertainment with utility. Its strong community support has been a key driver of growth, reinforcing the project’s foundation.
The ecosystem is further expanding through its secondary brand, Shiba Gimbap, which demonstrates the scalability of the Open Franchise model. The introduction of the Shiba Gimbap NFT-mining game provides additional engagement and rewards for token holders, adding value to the overall ecosystem.
Pepe Buldak, blending the globally recognized Pepe Coin with Buldak, the ultimate symbol of spiciness, is steadily building its presence in the meme coin market. As its ecosystem expands and community support grows, all eyes are on whether it can secure its place as Korea’s first globally recognized meme coin.
