AlphaPepe's Stage Window Closes as BTC Waits for Institutional Flows

BTC ETF outflows reached record highs in June as Bitcoin fell below $60K, prompting retail investors to look elsewhere for potential gains. The funds saw over $6 billion leave in a single month, making it their worst monthly outflow period since launch.

As institutional demand stalls, retail traders are turning to alternative cryptocurrencies with proven use cases and product offerings. AlphaPepe is one such project, currently in Stage 18 of its presale at $0.02013, having raised over $1.78 million with 9,800+ holders already on board.

The project's AI-native decentralized exchange (DEX), AlphaSwap, is live in early access across Ethereum and BNB Chain, providing retail traders with contract risk scanning, whale-flow intelligence, and AI trend signals directly integrated into the swap layer.
