Pepeto, a new meme coin ecosystem project, has raised over $7.2 million in its ongoing presale, with analysts forecasting potential 100X gains following its confirmed Binance listing. The presale, priced at $0.000000184-$0.000000185 per token, is reportedly over 70% filled. The project is gaining traction within meme coin communities for its promised utility-focused infrastructure.
The project is founded by an anonymous co-founder of the popular Pepe (PEPE) meme coin and has undergone dual security audits by firms SolidProof and Coinsult. Its ecosystem, dubbed PepetoSwap, aims to provide a unified platform for meme coin trading, featuring an instant swap function, a cross-chain bridge for asset transfers, and a planned exchange that will list only verified projects to mitigate scams. A working demo of the swap is currently live.
Staking rewards are set at 214% APY, and the tokenomics feature a zero transaction tax. The presale success of $7.2 million is highlighted as occurring during a period of fearful market sentiment, with Bitcoin trading in a tight range around $67,000 and the total crypto market cap near $2.27 trillion.
Analysts and promotional content draw comparisons to the historical performance of Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE), noting that those assets achieved massive market capitalizations with little initial utility, whereas Pepeto launches with a working product suite. The confirmed Binance listing is cited as a key catalyst, similar to SHIB's past listing which generated significant returns for early investors.
The broader context includes mentions of potential regulatory clarity with the anticipated implementation of the GENIUS Act and passage of the CLARITY Act by July 2026, which could spur further institutional investment into the crypto space.
