Ethereum-based crypto project Pepeto says its presale raised more than USD 10.96 million, with the current stage filling faster than earlier stages. The update comes as Ethereum trades near USD 2,467 and major forecasts point to higher long-term prices. Pepeto links its product plan to Ethereum gas costs, bridging friction and token security risks. What are buyers responding to as the presale grows?
Standard Chartered forecasts ETH at USD 4,000 by the end of 2026, USD 15,000 in 2027, USD 22,000 in 2028, USD 30,000 in 2029, and USD 40,000 by 2030. Its head of digital assets research also called 2026 the ‘year of Ethereum,’ according to Finance Magnates.
At Ethereum’s stated price of USD 2,467, the bank’s 2030 target would stand more than 16 times higher. According to CoinMarketCap, ETH traded below USD 1 in 2015.
Fund flows also strengthened Ethereum’s market backdrop. U.S. spot ETH funds drew USD 697 million from August 17 to 21, then added USD 824 million the following week. According to 247 Wall St., the second figure marked the largest five-day inflow since the funds launched.
Pepeto says its platform includes zero-fee trading, which would let users direct the full trade amount into each transaction. The project presents that feature as a response to gas costs that can make smaller trades expensive.
The team also says Pepeto includes a zero-cost bridge for Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana. According to the project description, the bridge can move assets across those networks within seconds.

Pepeto also says an AI screening system checks tokens before they can list on the platform. The feature addresses wider security concerns after crypto users lost USD 3.4 billion in 2025. The figure comes from Chainalysis data reported by Cointelegraph.
The project says SolidProof audited every contract before the presale opened. It also points to large wallet positions visible on-chain and repeat participation from earlier buyers as the sale progresses.
Meanwhile, meme coin communities have shared and promoted Pepeto across crypto channels, according to the project description. The project compares that activity with the early community growth around Shiba Inu and Dogecoin.
The official Pepeto website lists the current presale stage, product roadmap, and participation details. Buyers can review those materials alongside Ethereum forecasts, ETF flow data, and the project’s stated platform features.
Pepeto’s presale passed USD 10.96 million while Ethereum forecasts and recent ETF inflows provide a supportive market backdrop. The project says its zero-fee trading, cross-chain bridge, AI token screening, and audited contracts address common user concerns. Prospective buyers can review the roadmap and presale terms on its official website.
