Pepeto Presale Surpasses $6M as Zero-Fee Platform Challenges Shiba Inu

Pepeto (PEPETO) has emerged as a potential rival to Shiba Inu (SHIB) in the memecoin space, drawing attention for its presale performance and utility-driven infrastructure. The presale, currently priced at $0.000000146, has already raised over $6 million with 41 trillion tokens sold. The offering is structured in tranches, with each stage selling out quickly as the price increases incrementally. This dynamic suggests growing interest from investors ahead of potential exchange listings [1].

The project’s core innovation is PepetoSwap, a decentralized exchange where all trades are conducted with zero fees. This is a direct response to a common pain point in the memecoin space—high transaction costs that erode profits for traders. The platform is further enhanced by the Pepeto Bridge, a native cross-chain tool that enables seamless and secure token transfers across different blockchains without the need for intermediaries [1].

Pepeto’s utility extends beyond trading and bridging. Holders can request listings for their own tokens on PepetoSwap, offering smaller projects an avenue to gain visibility in a competitive and often exclusive market. The platform already has over 850 token projects queued for listing, effectively creating an order book before the official launch. This could attract early liquidity and set the stage for a self-reinforcing flywheel effect—more listings lead to higher trading volume, which in turn increases demand for PEPETO tokens [1].

The tokenomics model is also designed for long-term sustainability. Of the 420 trillion total supply, 30% is allocated to the presale, 12.5% to liquidity, 20% to marketing and growth, 30% to staking, and 7.5% to development. Notably, there is no trading tax, and staking incentives aim for annual percentage yields (APY) of up to 251–255% after the token generation event (TGE) [1].

Analysts have noted that the combination of zero-fee trading, cross-chain functionality, and a robust staking model could make Pepeto an appealing long-term play. Some models suggest a potential 11,044% price increase if the project gains widespread adoption and Tier 1 listing traction, though such projections are speculative and should not be taken as guarantees [1].

Meanwhile, Shiba Inu faces headwinds. The token has struggled with an enormous circulating supply—approximately 589 trillion SHIB—making significant price appreciation difficult. Burn activity has also slowed, with a 63% drop in the daily burn rate reported by CoinDesk. On-chain activity on its L2 chain, Shibarium, has also declined, with daily transactions dropping to the mid-teens range [1].

Pepeto’s measured supply release and strong community engagement—over 100,000 followers—also provide a structural advantage over many other memecoins. Investors are increasingly shifting focus to Pepeto, particularly as its presale continues to gain momentum and its utility stack offers a clearer value proposition than many of its peers [1].

Despite the optimism surrounding Pepeto, investors are cautioned to exercise due diligence and ensure they are using the official platform to avoid scams. The project has received no official endorsement from CaptainAltcoin, and all readers are advised to conduct their own research before investing [1].
