Ethereum News Today: Cold Wallet Presale Nears $6M as Cardano Targets $7.50 and Pepe Slows

Cold Wallet (CWT) continues to outpace expectations in its presale, nearing Stage 18 with over $6 million raised and more than 706 million tokens sold at $0.00998 in Stage 17. The presale began at $0.007 in Stage 1, offering early investors the potential for a 3,400% return if the token reaches its confirmed listing price of $0.3517 [1]. Whale activity has accelerated, with major investors snapping up large quantities before the next price increase. The project's integration with Plus Wallet, a $270 million acquisition with a user base of over 2 million, provides Cold Wallet with immediate adoption potential and a unique gas-fee cashback model [1].

Cardano (ADA) trend analysis highlights a potential price surge to $5.50–$7.50 by Q2–Q3 2026, according to AI models. These projections suggest a peak occurring three to six months after Bitcoin’s cycle top, with market risk scores reaching 85–90 indicating high greed levels [1]. A $7.50 price would imply a $270 billion market capitalization, aligning with historical patterns where ADA has traded at 10–20 times its 2023–2024 lows. Analysts advise locking in 40–50% of profits once the price hits this range.

Pepe (PEPE), however, shows signs of hitting a wall, with its price surge momentum slowing despite fresh liquidity inflows. While short-term speculation persists, its growth potential is considered less compelling compared to Cold Wallet’s accelerating presale and built-in cashback mechanism [1]. The latter's post-launch model turns every transaction into a micro-earning, offering a compelling advantage over traditional altcoins.

Ethereum (ETH) is also on an upward trajectory, breaking through $4,500 with over $1 billion in ETF inflows reported in a single day. Spot ETFs, including BlackRock’s $640 million contribution, have driven much of the movement. Trading volume has increased by 26%, and analysts point to $5,000 as the next likely target, with some models forecasting potential moves toward $5,210 or $6,946 [1]. Positive momentum indicators suggest buyers remain in control, and if ETH sustains above $4,500, it may cue the next upward leg.

While Cardano, Pepe, and Ethereum all exhibit varying degrees of growth potential, Cold Wallet is currently seen as the most attractive risk-to-reward opportunity. With its presale nearing closure and a clear price target in sight, the window for early entry is rapidly shrinking. Investors are advised to act swiftly before Stage 18, where token prices will increase again [1].
