POPEcoin Raises $1.5 Million in Ten Days with No VCs, No Taxes, and No Apologies

ROME, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In an economy where memecoins often rise and fall within the same week, POPEcoin ($POPE) has managed to carve out a real foothold—raising $1.5 million in just ten days, without venture capital, early access allocations, or flashy partnerships. The entire presale has been structured for fairness and simplicity, with equal terms for every participant and a clean 0% tax on all buys and sells. That approach seems to be resonating. The project has already drawn over 25,000 organic followers across Twitter and Telegram, with round after round of the presale filling up faster than anticipated.
But beyond the numbers, POPEcoin is tapping into something rare: a memecoin with a narrative arc. Inspired by the 1809 imprisonment of Pope Pius VII under Napoleon, the token weaves historical symbolism with meme culture, bringing together two worlds that rarely meet. Its slogan, 'History Never Dies,' is more than a tagline—it's the core of the project's identity. Every aspect of the launch, from the 1809% staking APR to the relic-themed NFT series in development, is a nod to a forgotten moment of defiance being preserved through blockchain.
From Meme to Mechanism: Building Infrastructure on Bitcoin
The team behind POPEcoin isn't stopping at memes—they're setting the foundation for a narrative-fueled Layer 2.
As the presale continues through its 23 planned rounds, with each tier incrementally increasing in price, the next stage of development is already underway. POPEcoin has announced plans for POPEchain—a Bitcoin Layer 2 infrastructure dedicated to supporting on-chain storytelling, decentralized culture, and community-driven engagement. The alpha testnet is scheduled for release post-presale, with early backers given priority access.
Token buyers receive their $POPE instantly upon purchase, with tokens automatically staked to start earning rewards immediately. A dedicated staking dApp will launch following the presale, offering users an intuitive way to claim both their tokens and their earned yield. Parallel to this, the development team is building a native bridge to enable seamless asset movement across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, and Base.
Further anchoring its cultural mission, POPEcoin is also preparing the launch of NFT Relics—a series of digital artifacts that fuse historical lore with on-chain identity. Plans for a gamified experience dubbed VaticanVerse are also in motion, offering an immersive metaverse-like extension of the token's historical themes.
A Cultural Token with Momentum to Match
The rise of POPEcoin signals that the memecoin space may finally be ready for substance—without sacrificing speed.
There's no shortage of tokens with hype, nor of projects with grand ambitions but little traction. What separates POPEcoin is that it's executing fast, communicating clearly, and drawing real interest without relying on artificial volume or preloaded influencers. The combination of community-driven funding, historical narrative, and infrastructure ambition is proving potent—especially in a market hungry for novelty that actually delivers.
Presale contributions remain open, though rounds are filling quickly. As the project transitions from fundraising to infrastructure rollout, the early days of POPEcoin already read like a memecoin that didn't follow the script—and that's exactly why it's working.

Mass. officials support local farms during National Dairy Month

SHEFFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Members of the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) celebrated National Dairy Month by recognizing several dairy farms in western Mass. MDAR Commissioner Ashley Randle was joined by state and local officials last week in visiting three multi-generational businesses in Berkshire and Hampshire County. These farms have contributed to the state's economy and local food systems for decades. Easthampton aims to enhance transparency with new public records management 'As a western Massachusetts native who grew up on a multi-generational dairy farm, I have a deep appreciation and understanding of how hard our dairy farmers work to supply us with the best tasting products that are made with pride, so we are proud to continue supporting the industry through the many resources our agency offers,' Randle said. 'Through preserving land to offering technical assistance and upgrading infrastructure, we'll continue to invest in the viability and sustainability of this critical sector so that all of us can continue to enjoy a rich assortment of delicious dairy products made by family farms across the state.' Officials visited Pine Island Farm and Maple Shade Farm, both located in Sheffield, as well as Luther Belden Farm in Hatfield. Pine Island Farm spans over 1,500 acres and houses approximately 1,600 Holstein cattle, milking the largest number of animals in Massachusetts. It is a third-generation farm owned by Holly and Louis Aragi and was recently acquired through MDAR's Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) program to protect the land permanently. Maple Shade Farm is also protected through the APR program, managed by father and son Morgen and Ian Allen. It was first founded in 2003 with a handful of cows and has since grown to nearly 350 cattle, implementing energy efficiency upgrades. Since 1661, Luther Belden Farm has stayed within the same family across 13 generations. Darryl and Lucinda Williams have added modern upgrades to this over 350-year-old farm, including a robotic milking system and an anaerobic methane digester that produces renewable energy from cow manure and food waste. Massachusetts is currently home to 95 dairy farms that are mostly based in the western region, contributing over $61 million to the local economy and helping to preserve over 113,000 acres of open space. This National Dairy Month, officials are recognizing family-owned businesses that protect natural resources and reduce energy use throughout the state. WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.

Billionaire Ray Dalio sends blunt warning about ticking debt bomb

Billionaire Ray Dalio sends blunt warning about ticking debt bomb originally appeared on TheStreet. Ray Dalio, the billionaire hedge fund manager who founded Bridgewater Associates, expects "non-government produced monies" like Bitcoin and gold to perform well as most countries, including the U.S., the U.K., China, and Japan, face similar debt and deficit problems. Dalio also recommended investing in Bitcoin and gold as part of portfolio diversification as general advice, though he underlined that everyone's financial situation is different. The above are only a few of the points discussed in Dalio's newly released book, "How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle In a Tiny Nutshell." The book is a warning about the U.S. facing a potential economic collapse due to the rising national debt. As the debt outweighs revenue, the government usually chooses to go forward with either of these two options: borrow more or print money. The former leads to more debt and debt payments, and the latter leads to currency devaluation, Dalio warned. The U.S. is close to the verge of witnessing an "economic heart attack" due to its debt problem, the billionaire hedge fund manager warned, echoing the sentiments of Elon Musk who had an ugly public spat with President Donald Trump over the same issue. Over the next ten years, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" could add up to $3.8 trillion to the already rising national debt of $36.9 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. The passage of the bill has faced several challenges from close quarters. However, it could also offer an opportunity for investors to choose Bitcoin as a hedge against excessive government debt. As per Kraken, Bitcoin was trading at $108,948.65 at press time.

Cathie Wood's ARK Invest: Bitcoin Gains Coming Alongside Clear Stress in Housing, Autos

Bitcoin's BTC rise to new all-time highs is happening on a backdrop of deep economic strain, according to a new report from Cathie Wood-led ARK Invest. Bitcoin's 11.1% climb in May, outpaced gold and broke through key resistance levels, said ARK. Gains also coincided with clear signs of stress in the housing and auto sectors, traditionally seen as pillars of U.S. consumer strength. In housing, the number of sellers has far outpaced buyers, a trend ARK links to the Federal Reserve's steep rate hikes since 2022. With affordability deteriorating, pressure is mounting on prices in what remains the largest source of household net worth. Meanwhile, auto sales, which surged earlier this year in anticipation of tariffs, collapsed in May — falling to 15.6 million units from above 17 million just a month prior. As these markets soften, bitcoin appears to be catching some of the capital looking for yield and resilience, ARK noted. Spot bitcoin ETFs drew $5.5 billion in May — more than triple the inflows seen in gold ETFs, which dropped sharply during the same period. ARK noted that bitcoin's current rally doesn't yet reflect speculative excess. Profit-taking behavior remains measured, with unrealized gains sitting well below the levels that marked prior bubbles. For investors moving away from stressed real-world assets, bitcoin may be serving not as a gamble, but as a calculated reallocation in a shifting economic landscape. Sign in to access your portfolio
