Ethereum-Based Meme Coin Pepeto Secures $6.09M in Presale

Ethereum-Based Meme Coin Pepeto Secures $6.09M in Presale

Arabian Posta day ago
A new Ethereum-based meme coin, Pepeto, has raised more than $6.09 million in its presale stage, signalling a strong demand and growing investor confidence in the project. The surge in funding comes as the cryptocurrency market continues to attract speculative investments, with meme coins often riding waves of social media trends and community-driven hype.
Pepeto, which launched its presale only a few weeks ago, is quickly gaining traction among crypto enthusiasts and investors. Its presale has been characterised by significant interest, with the project's unique branding, which mimics the success of other meme tokens, such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, being one of the driving factors. The coin, a derivative of the meme-driven cryptocurrency ecosystem, appears to be tapping into a burgeoning market for low-cost, high-risk investment opportunities.
The presale phase, which is expected to reach its ninth stage soon, represents a crucial point for the token's developers and backers. Ethereum-based tokens are particularly favoured for their robust network and security features, and the increasing popularity of meme coins on this platform makes Pepeto an attractive option for investors looking for the next breakout opportunity in the highly volatile crypto space.

Unlike other meme coins, which rely heavily on viral marketing campaigns and online communities, Pepeto has garnered attention through strategic partnerships and a steady stream of community engagement. By focusing on building a loyal following through transparency and open communication, the Pepeto team has managed to create a sense of trust among early investors, a key factor in the coin's rapid success.
While the coin's development team remains tight-lipped about the specifics of its long-term roadmap, experts believe that meme coins' reliance on social media-driven hype can be both a strength and a vulnerability. The ability of a coin like Pepeto to maintain momentum and deliver real utility beyond mere speculation will determine whether it can break free from the boom-and-bust cycles that have plagued other meme coins in the past.
As the presale enters its final stages, the token's backers are already planning its full public launch, which is expected to bring even more attention to the project. However, the risks associated with investing in meme coins are well known, and many market observers have cautioned investors to exercise caution.
Pepeto's success thus far is a reflection of the broader trend in the crypto market, where meme tokens continue to garner attention and attract speculative investment. The explosive growth of tokens like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu has led to a proliferation of similar projects, all vying for a slice of the highly profitable, yet highly volatile, crypto market.
Critics argue that the speculative nature of meme coins poses a significant risk to investors, particularly as the market experiences periods of high volatility. Given the short-term focus of many meme coin investors, the long-term sustainability of projects like Pepeto remains uncertain. However, the project's ability to raise funds at this stage is indicative of the appetite for risk among crypto investors.
In parallel, some cryptocurrency analysts believe that the boom in meme coins could be indicative of a broader trend towards decentralised finance and the growing interest in community-led projects. Pepeto's success, however, will depend on how well it can transition from a meme-based speculative asset into a coin with genuine value.

Brady didn't understand football, says Rooney after ‘work ethic' jibe

Wayne Rooney has described criticism of his work ethic by Birmingham minority owner Tom Brady as 'unfair' and said the NFL legend did not understand football. Former Manchester United and England captain Rooney, was sacked as Birmingham manager in January 2024 after less than three months in charge. Seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Brady, who became a minority shareholder at Birmingham in August 2023, said he was 'a little worried about our head coach's work ethic' during a recently-aired documentary after visiting Blues' training ground two months later. 'I think Tom came in once, which was the day before a game where the days are a little bit lighter anyway, and I don't think he really understood football that well,' Rooney said on his new podcast, The Wayne Rooney Show, which will be aired on the BBC's digital platforms. 'Football is not NFL -- NFL works for three months a year. Players do need rest as well, so I think he's very unfair, the way he's come out and portrayed that.' Following Rooney's departure, Birmingham appointed Tony Mowbray and Gary Rowett as managers in the 2023/24 season but were relegated to League One. 'When I went into Birmingham, they were in a mess really,' added Rooney. 'Hence the fact that the players weren't really the players who could take the club forward. Since then the project, headed by American-based hedge fund Knighthead Capital, has turned around. Birmingham's wealthy backers invested an unprecedented £30 million ($41 million) in transfers for a League One club last season and broke an English Football League record by amassing 111 points as they stormed to the title.

Flydubai to add 12 aircraft in 2025 but still 20 short of goal

Flydubai will receive 12 new aircraft this year, though it remains 20 planes behind its original delivery projections, the airline's chief executive said Thursday. The Dubai-based carrier has taken delivery of seven Boeing 737 MAX 8s in 2025, with five more expected before year-end, bringing its fleet to 93 aircraft. In a report on Khaleej Times, CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said the deliveries are part of a backlog that has been delayed in recent years, impacting the airline's expansion plans. Airlines in the UAE and globally have faced delays in aircraft deliveries, with Flydubai noting last year that Boeing's updated schedule had significantly affected its growth strategy. Despite the challenges, Flydubai has added 11 new destinations this year, including Antalya, Al Alamein, Damascus and Peshawar. Four more European destinations — Chisinau, Iasi, Vilnius and Riga — are scheduled to launch between September and December, expanding the carrier's network to more than 135 destinations in 57 countries. Financing for the first seven aircraft delivered this year has come from a mix of Islamic financing through Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, conventional debt from the National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, and sale-leaseback agreements with JP Lease Products & Services and JLPS Ireland Limited. Al Ghaith said the additional aircraft will help the airline open new routes, optimize operations and strengthen Dubai's role as an international aviation hub.

Bitcoin powers past $124,000, overtakes Google market cap

Bitcoin surged to a record high during early Asian trading on Thursday, breaking through $124,000 and overtaking Google parent Alphabet's market capitalisation, as a wave of institutional demand, corporate adoption, and pro-crypto policy in the United States fuelled optimism that the rally has much further to run. The world's largest cryptocurrency briefly touched $124,450 late on Wednesday before easing slightly, propelling its market capitalisation to $2.456 trillion — enough to rank as the fifth-largest asset globally. The move cemented Bitcoin's position above the $120,000 support level and underscored the momentum that has been building in recent weeks. Ethereum followed the upward trend, holding above $4,750, while Solana, Cardano, and Dogecoin all recorded double-digit percentage gains over the week. Only XRP lagged, staying near $3.24 and missing out on the rally. The price surge came on the back of record inflows into US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, expanding balance-sheet allocations from major corporations, and a series of supportive policy moves from President Donald Trump's administration. For the year to date, Bitcoin has climbed more than 31 per cent and is up around 60 per cent from April's lows. Nigel Green, chief executive and founder of global financial advisory firm deVere Group, told Khaleej Times that the price action reflected 'multiple, powerful forces converging to push Bitcoin to new highs'. These include institutional capital pouring in through spot ETFs at record volumes, public companies treating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, the White House actively supporting the sector, and nation states now showing strong profits from their Bitcoin positions. 'These aren't isolated developments; they're part of a deep, systemic shift in the global financial system,' Green said. Data from the ETF market underscored the institutional interest. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led daily trading volumes with $3.7 billion in turnover, followed by Fidelity's FBTC with more than $500 million. Analysts say such volumes are an unmistakable sign that large-cap and pension-fund investors are taking long-term positions. Corporate Bitcoin holdings have also swelled to record valuations. Michael Saylor's Strategy, the Bitcoin-focused firm formerly known as MicroStrategy, said its reserves are now worth $77.2 billion — more than $35 billion above its previous peak last year. Sovereign adoption is delivering gains as well. El Salvador's government disclosed that its Bitcoin reserves, purchased at an average cost of $300.5 million, are now valued at $768 million, translating into unrealised profits of about $468 million. In Washington, momentum is shifting further towards integration of digital assets into mainstream financial products. Last week, President Trump signed an executive order directing the US Labour Department to explore allowing 401(k) retirement plans to hold cryptocurrencies and other alternative assets, potentially opening the door for millions of Americans to gain exposure to Bitcoin through employer-sponsored savings schemes. For Green and other market watchers, the combination of limited supply and expanding sources of demand points to further gains ahead. Bitcoin's fixed issuance rate means that as more institutions, corporations, and sovereigns acquire and hold the asset, the amount available to trade shrinks. 'The scarcity factor is now being amplified by unprecedented demand from entities that buy in size and hold for the long term,' Green said. 'This is strategic positioning in an asset that is becoming embedded in both private and public sector portfolios.' The deVere chief has reaffirmed his year-end price target of $150,000, noting that while short- term volatility is inevitable, the structural drivers are 'overwhelmingly positive'. Pullbacks, he argued, are being met with heavy buying from investors with deep pockets and strong conviction. 'Even if we see profit-taking, every dip is attracting substantial inflows,' Green said. 'Institutions are committing long-term capital, corporate treasuries are diversifying into Bitcoin, and national adoption is delivering measurable returns. Washington is shifting from resistance to integration. This is why we are maintaining our $150,000 target.' Analysts say the macroeconomic backdrop is also working in Bitcoin's favour. With expectations rising that the US Federal Reserve will ease monetary policy in the coming quarters, assets perceived as stores of value stand to benefit from an environment of lower interest rates and increased liquidity. This combination of policy, adoption, and capital flows is reinforcing bullish sentiment across the crypto ecosystem. Market strategists caution that Bitcoin's rapid ascent makes it vulnerable to sharp corrections, particularly if risk appetite falters in global markets. However, they also note that the scale and nature of current buying — led by institutions, not retail speculation — suggest that any downturns could be shorter and less severe than in past cycles. With the $125,000 mark now in sight, traders are debating whether the next leg higher will come in a matter of days or stretch into the weeks ahead. For now, the momentum appears firmly on the side of the bulls. 'The trajectory remains higher,' Green said. 'The fundamentals are strong, the policy environment is supportive, and the buyers are there. For the time being, Bitcoin looks set to continue climbing.'
