Pepeto said in Globe Newswire-distributed promotional materials dated Aug. 10-11, 2026 that its Ethereum-based token presale is nearing a sellout, with reported proceeds ranging from $9.3 million in the Aug. 11 release to more than $10.6 million, including a cited $10.398 million figure, in Aug. 10 materials. The project said it has more than 41,000 holders, offers staking at 169% APY, and has completed final testing for its DeFi exchange, which it said would enable zero-fee trading and cross-chain transfers across Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana. Pepeto also said SolidProof audited its contracts, that the project is led by the original PEPE co-founder with a senior Binance developer overseeing engineering, and that listings on at least two major centralized exchanges are planned, with Binance expected among them. Separate promotional comparisons framed Pepeto as a higher-upside early-stage alternative to larger tokens including Solana and Dogecoin, citing third-party bullish scenarios and price targets for those assets. All fundraising totals, product claims, exchange expectations and return projections were presented by Pepeto or sources cited in its promotional content and remain uncertain.
