New Crypto Presales to Consider in August 2024

Despite BTC recent selling, new presales are still attracting attention. The US presidential elections will continue to grab crypto traders

Bitcoin price recently showed signs of recovery following reports that MicroStrategy is planning to buy more BTC. The recent selling pressure in the BTC market may be easing up as traders anticipate the upcoming US presidential elections.

After Biden decided to drop out of the presidential race, Donald Trump quickly gained a lead over Kamala Harris. Some crypto traders expect Harris to reveal a softer approach to crypto.

This means that either party that wins the US elections could spell out a bright future for cryptocurrencies.

Pepe Unchained’s ($PEPU) presale raised $6.6M. The project revolves around Pepe, one of the most popular meme coins, which has gained over +18,000% since 2023, according to Coinmarketcap.

It is very common for new meme coins to evolve around successful coins. In this case, Pepe Unchained’s key highlight is its layer-2 chain. The success of Pepe Unchained may not be in the token itself but in its ability to onboard new tokens on its chain.

Dubbed Pepe Chain, the developers assure early investors of high staking rewards as passive income and early access to what may evolve into a successful chain.

The Meme Games ($MGMES) is bringing the Olympics to crypto. Pick your meme athlete, join the running track with your athlete, and the winner earns high rewards.

One cannot ignore that ‘The Meme Games’ has a tone similar to that of the ‘Hunger Games’ movie. In this play-to-earn (P2E) game, players select their athlete (inspired by the top meme coins) and earn rewards when their athlete beats other players.

It is an amusing game that may appeal to Olympic fans. The project has raised around $300k, but the new presale only recently started.

PlayDoge ($PLAY) is a crypto game in which players grow their virtual pets and earn passive income as the game progresses. Many Tamagotchi fans may have been attracted to the crypto concept, which boosted the raised capital during the presale.

Close to $6M was raised in the presale. PlayDoge will be launched on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The chain has around 900k daily active addresses and lower gas fees than Ethereum.

The gameplay is very straightforward. Feed your pet when it’s hungry, entertain it when it’s bored, and put it to sleep when tired. Every pet has health and morale indicators. If the indicators drop, the pet will leave to find a better home. A mini-game is included.

99Bitcoins ($99BTC) ( is introducing a learn-and-earn mechanism for its blockchain project. Users will have access to interactive crypto courses (79 at the time of this writing), and active community users may earn $99BTC on their work.

BRC-20 tokens, available on the Bitcoin network (a fraction of a satoshi) are gaining momentum and may outpace other chains if Bitcoin remains in a bull mode. 99Bitcoins offers a guide on launching or minting BRC-20 tokens and bridging $99BTC onto BRC-20.

Exclusive training courses, VIP groups, and crypto strategies are some of the features of 99Bitcoins.

The BlockDAG layer-1 presale has raised over $60M. The new chain will have a proof of work consensus rather than proof of stake. A mobile app or mining rigs can mine the native token.

The presale drew greater attention after it was revealed that former SwissOne Capital executive Antony Turner is the CEO of the blockchain project. The layer-1 sector is highly competitive, nevertheless, the presale demonstrates investors are still searching for the next Bitcoin.

The DAG technology aims to provide greater scalability and security. The transaction per second (TPS) is 10, with the possibility of 100 TPS.

Projects like BlockDAG may be more appealing to some investors as long-term investments. However, many meme coins post strong gains over a short period of time.

Let’s take Neiro Ethereum ($NEIRO) as an example. The meme coin was listed on Coinmarketcap (CMC) on July 29, and on August 1, it gained over +900%:

At its peak earlier today, $NEIRO rallied over +1,300% since the CMC listing. Meme coins are subject to greater volatility. Crypto traders who expect a fast-paced, high-risk-reward investment may opt for meme coins.

It is challenging to determine which meme coin will burst higher. However, a strong community is often the backbone of a successful project, even if it lacks utilities.
