Meme Coin Pepeto Opens New Presale Stage After Exceeding Funding Goals
New meme coin Pepeto has announced a new presale stage is open after its previous round sold out early, raising over $10.4 million. The project features an EVM Layer 2 solution and a cross-chain bridge.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – July 22, 2026 – The digital currency project Pepeto ($PEPETO) has announced the launch of a new presale phase following the successful conclusion of its preceding funding round, which reportedly sold out ahead of schedule.
The project has garnered attention for integrating meme coin appeal with functional blockchain technology. According to company statements, over $10.4 million has been raised to date, with the number of token holders approaching 40,000. The company attributes this rapid growth to both its meme-centric marketing and the underlying utility features.
Pepeto's technical roadmap includes an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible Layer 2 solution designed to increase transaction speed and reduce costs. Development also encompasses a decentralized exchange with zero transaction fees and an AI-powered contract scanner. Additionally, early presale participants are offered an annual percentage yield (APY) of 168% on staked tokens.
A key component of Pepeto's infrastructure is its planned bridge, intended to facilitate asset transfers between the Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain networks. This cross-chain functionality aims to simplify interoperability for users across these major blockchain ecosystems. The project emphasizes this, along with its EVM Layer 2, as solutions to common scalability and cost issues in the cryptocurrency space.
