AlphaPepe Presale Hits 9,000 Holders, Bitcoin $100,000 Target Amid Iran War

The AlphaPepe cryptocurrency project announced that its presale has surpassed 9,000 holders and raised over $1.33 million. Stage 17 of the sale is live at $0.01786 per token, and the project’s AI‑powered decentralized exchange, AlphaSwap, now has more than 5,000 active demo users. AlphaPepe also completed a 10/10 BlockSAFU security audit ahead of its planned Q2 2026 exchange debut.

Coinciding with the presale milestone, analysts noted that Bitcoin’s price target has moved back toward $100,000 as market participants react to volatility from the Iran war, oil‑market pressure, and increased demand for exchange‑traded funds. The forecast emphasizes that sustained ETF inflows and calmer macro conditions are needed for Bitcoin to maintain that level.
