The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a surge of interest in the new meme coin Pepeto (PEPETO), which is currently in its presale phase at a price of $0.000000178. The project is being heavily promoted through comparative analyses with established meme coins like FLOKI and Shiba Inu (SHIB), with claims that it offers a superior pathway to exponential returns.
Pepeto is positioned as a "meme-utility" hybrid, launched by an individual claiming to be an early co-founder of the PEPE meme coin. The project's name combines "PEPE" for cultural recognition with "TO" for "Technology and Optimization." Its stated infrastructure includes PepetoSwap (a zero-fee decentralized exchange in demo form), a cross-chain bridge, and plans for the Pepeto Exchange to host verified meme-utility tokens. The team reports over 850 project applications for future listing on this planned exchange.
A significant part of the promotional narrative involves a direct comparison with FLOKI. While FLOKI is praised for building a utility-focused ecosystem over two years—including the Valhalla NFT gaming metaverse, FlokiFi DeFi tools, and educational platforms—the analysis argues that its current $481 million market cap presents a mathematical barrier to achieving 100x growth for new investors. In contrast, Pepeto's presale pricing is framed as offering a much lower barrier to similar multiplicative returns.
The hype received a notable boost from the reported endorsement of a pseudonymous trader known as "Chen," who is cited as an early Shiba Inu millionaire. Chen allegedly bought SHIB at $0.000001 and sold near its peak for an $11.6 million return. His recent social media activity, suggesting he is "studying PEPETO closely," is being used to draw parallels between Pepeto's current presale conditions and the early, pre-explosion phase of SHIB in 2020.
The promotional material emphasizes several advantages Pepeto claims over its predecessors: operational infrastructure at launch, completed security audits by SolidProof and Coinsult, a 215% staking APY during the presale, and a tokenomics model where every transaction on its future exchange would create direct buy pressure for $PEPETO tokens. The presale has a hard cap target of $10 million, with reports indicating over $7 million has already been raised. The project is also running a $700,000 giveaway for presale participants.
The overarching message is one of urgency, framing the presale as a fleeting, early-stage opportunity for life-changing wealth generation before mainstream exchange listings remove the pricing advantage. The analysis suggests that for PEPETO to match even 10% of SHIB's current market cap (around $4.97 billion), its price would need to reach $0.000008419, representing a 47x return from the presale price.
