Pepeto's presale has raised $9.78 million with its latest stage nearing sellout, while XRP trades at $1.38 following a 30% climb in August, according to CoinGecko data.

Pepeto presale stage approaches close

Pepeto's presale rounds have been selling out ahead of their deadlines, with new buyers joining at twice the speed recorded last month. Each completed stage has raised the token price, benefiting earlier participants. The project has three finished products already operational, and a Binance listing is expected, according to the announcement.

The presale carries a SolidProof audit and features a staking yield of 176% APY. The development team includes a Pepe ecosystem cofounder whose previous token reached a $7 billion valuation, alongside a developer from Binance.

PepetoSwap and ecosystem utility

PepetoSwap, the project's exchange product, operates with zero trading fees. An AI layer checks every contract on the platform, which covers Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana. The exchange is designed so that post-launch trading activity directs demand toward early holders.

XRP price and ETF inflows

XRP rose 30% in August and holds at $1.38 per CoinGecko, with buyers defending the $1.35 level on dips. XRP has been classified as a commodity, a development the announcement states removes legal uncertainty that previously kept institutional participants away. Weekly XRP ETF inflows reached $110 million.

The following table summarises the key data points from the announcement:

Standard Chartered's XRP price projection

Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick has mapped an XRP price path to $19.60 by 2029 and $28 by 2030, as reported by 24/7 Wall St. A move from the current $1.38 to $28 would represent a 20x move. The $110 million weekly ETF inflow is cited in the announcement as the first requirement for that trajectory.

Pepeto's presale is accessible only through the official Pepeto website.

XRP whales transferred 231 million tokens, valued at approximately $335 million, out of Binance. This marks the largest single-day outflow in nearly six months, coinciding with a recent 40% price rebound from previous lows.

Market Context and Price Levels

The significant fund movement has drawn attention to potential price targets. Technical analysts suggest that if XRP breaks through the resistance level near $1.50, it could challenge $1.60 or even $2.00. This outlook is supported by continued ETF inflows and strong on-chain demand.

What the Numbers Show

The simultaneous occurrence of a record $335 million whale outflow and a 40% price surge suggests a divergence between large-holder behavior and short-term market sentiment. While whales are moving assets off exchanges—often interpreted as a long-term holding signal—the broader market is reacting positively to ETF inflows, pushing prices toward the $1.50 resistance level.
