Ethereum News Today: Pepeto Meme Coin Raises $5.7M in Stage 6 Presale

Pepeto, an Ethereum-based meme coin launched in commemoration of the cryptocurrency network’s 10th anniversary, has concluded Stage 6 of its ongoing presale with over $5.7 million raised and more than 100,000 community members engaged [1]. The project is positioned as a next-generation meme coin that combines the viral appeal of internet culture with real-world infrastructure, including a zero-fee exchange, PepetoSwap, and a cross-chain bridge to facilitate network interoperability [1].

The presale has drawn steady participation, with the current price of the $PEPETO token at $0.000000144, and a structured pricing model designed to increase in subsequent stages. The tokenomics structure allocates supply across staking rewards, marketing, liquidity provision, and project development, which the team credits for early traction and growing community involvement [1]. The project’s emphasis on structured allocation and long-term utility is a notable shift from traditional meme coins that often lack tangible infrastructure [2].

Pepeto’s performance places it among the top-performing meme coins in 2025, a year marked by increased competition and heightened scrutiny in the crypto space. The fundraising success reflects broader trends in the market, where community-driven narratives and active social media engagement are critical factors in token performance [1]. The growing base of supporters, reported to exceed 100,000, further underscores the project’s ability to capture attention and maintain momentum in a highly speculative environment.

As the project moves into Stage 7, the focus is expected to shift from fundraising to execution, with the development of infrastructure tools and potential listing on exchanges becoming key milestones. The team has outlined a roadmap that includes the launch of PepetoSwap and a cross-chain bridge, both aimed at enhancing usability and expanding the project’s reach across blockchain networks [1]. Analysts suggest that meme coins with structured ecosystems and engaged communities tend to outperform those relying solely on short-term hype [2].

Pepeto’s approach highlights the evolving nature of meme-based projects in the crypto space, where traditional financial instruments are not always a prerequisite for success. However, the sustainability of such projects remains a key concern, particularly in a market characterized by volatility and rapid shifts in sentiment. Investors are advised to conduct due diligence and consult with licensed advisors before participating in any offering [1].
