Bitcoin Options Traders Bet Above $80K as AlphaPepe's Presale Price Soars

Bitcoin options traders are placing bets above $80K, indicating institutional conviction in the cryptocurrency's potential for a new leg higher. However, this optimism is tempered by the fact that AlphaPepe, a digital asset with a presale price of $0.03020 and a listing price of $0.08, is capturing attention with its 165% premium over the current presale tier.

The presale has raised over $2.69M with more than 11,800 holders before it closes and the DEX launch takes place in Q1 2027. This presents a window of opportunity for retail buyers to enter before public price discovery begins.

AlphaPepe's listing on AlphaSwap Auto-Trade registration opens Saturday, September 19, allowing eligible $ALPE holders to prepare for the beta launch of Claude-powered Auto-Trade features.
