Pepeto said its presale surpassed $10.23 million earlier this week and later exceeded $10.4 million, while the project’s promotional material compares its exchange-token model with BNB’s early performance. The release says PepetoSwap will offer zero-fee trading across Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana, with a zero-gas lock-and-mint bridge and an AI contract-checking tool. It says every trade will use PEPETO, creating demand for the token, and highlights a team led by the PEPE co-founder, a completed SolidProof audit, and 168% APY staking. The announcement cites The Crypto Times’ BNB price forecast of $2,500, alongside institutional access through a Nasdaq ETF and quarterly token burns, including a 1.57 million-token reduction. It also references BNB’s rise from $0.15 in 2017 to $695, a gain of more than 4,600x, and a Yahoo Finance report about a Shiba Inu wallet whose $8,000 holding reached $5.7 billion. The release warns that fake Pepeto tokens are circulating and says the genuine PEPETO is available only through https://pepetocoin.com/. It includes a disclaimer that the material is not investment, financial or trading advice and warns of potential capital loss.
