India’s crypto market has moved beyond buying and holding digital coins. In the modern landscape, traders are exploring more advanced strategies like crypto derivatives (futures and options) to maximise profits and manage risks effectively in the volatile market. 

As crypto adoption grows and innovation unfolds, the Indian crypto market is expected to cross $10 billion in revenue, with 123+ million users by 2026. With this growing demand comes the need for more structured, flexible, and accessible crypto trading platforms. This is where Delta Exchange comes into the picture.

Delta Exchange at a Glance

Delta Exchange has positioned itself as one of the best crypto derivatives trading platforms for Indian and global users – thanks to its active focus on security, compliance, and a growing suite of product offerings.

BigPictureCoin Launches Global Presale as Bitcoin Surges Past $122,000

Published

on

  • A New Layer 1 Blockchain Aims to Bring Bitcoin-Grade Tech Into Real-World Use

As Bitcoin reaches historic highs above $122,000, a new blockchain project is making waves by bringing crypto infrastructure into real-world commerce, media, and creator economies. BigPictureCoin (BPC) has officially launched its public presale, now live exclusively at www.BigPictureCoin.com.

Built on Substrate—the same architecture that powers Polkadot—BigPictureCoin is a fully independent Layer 1 blockchain, not a token on Ethereum or Solana. It offers high throughput, low fees, and seamless interoperability designed to power everyday financial and media applications.

Co-founded by Peter Kallinteris and John Sill, BPC is operated from both Hollywood and Athens, and is fully registered in Greece, adhering to U.S., EU, and international compliance standards.

“BigPictureCoin isn’t just another blockchain. It’s infrastructure for the real-world digital economy—decentralized, modular, and built for creators, innovators, and everyday users,” said co-founder John Sill.

Presale Details

  • Token Symbol: $BPCB (Not yet launched)
  • Total Supply: 500 Billion
  • Initial Circulating Supply: 10 Billion
  • Presale Allocation: 100 Billion
  • Presale Price: $0.001 per $BPCB
  • Soft Cap: $2 Million
  • Hard Cap: $10 Million
  • Transaction Fee: 0.1% — routed to a transparent development wallet
  • Website: www.BigPictureCoin.com

The presale is exclusively hosted on the project’s official website. No exchanges or third-party platforms are authorized. Contributions can be made using supported cryptocurrencies (ETH, BTC, USDT, SOL), with no account setup or registration required.

A Decentralized Blockchain with Real-World Purpose

Unlike traditional Layer 1 projects, BigPictureCoin has:

  • No founder or investor token allocations
  • A three-year locked reserve for presale and airdrop use only
  • Transparent governance, with no centralized control
  • A legally structured, compliance-first framework

“Other chains, like Cardano, often delay real-world usability through complex governance. BigPictureCoin is modular, fast, and immediately usable,” said cofounder Peter Kallinteris.

Designed for Global Utility

BigPictureCoin is building an open-source, non-custodial, fiat-integrated ecosystem that connects blockchain infrastructure to real-world industries— including media, entertainment, e-commerce, and creator monetization. The project is currently undergoing its first capital raise. A strategic Series Round, valued at over $400 million, is in development with announcements expected soon.

Key Highlights

  • Built on Substrate – fast, scalable, and future-proof
  • Fully independent blockchain – not a token or sidechain
  • Registered in Greece – legally compliant for global operations
  • Fair launch – no team or investor token advantage
  • Presale-only access – no external launchpads or listings
  • Transparent fee model – 0.1% routed to a public development wallet
  • Backed by global partners – to be announced

How to Participate

The public presale will close automatically once the $10 million hard cap is reached. This is the only authorized opportunity to access BPCB prior to exchange listings.

Visit www.BigPictureCoin.com to participate.

BigPictureCoin is registered in Greece and operates in accordance with applicable U.S., EU, and international regulatory standards. This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
