Building on its recent $7.43 million presale milestone, Pepeto announced its Ethereum-BNB Chain-Solana bridge is approaching final testing, paving the way for full exchange launch amid bitcoin's surge past $73,000 and $1.4 billion in spot ETF inflows.
On March 5, 2026, in Dubai, UAE, Pepeto confirmed via GlobeNewswire that its cross-chain bridge—enabling fee-free transfers between Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana—is entering final testing. Internal checks on speed and security are ahead of schedule, following prior platform advancements like PepetoSwap.
This comes amid heightened market optimism. Bitcoin hit $73,000 in its best session since January, liquidating $110 million in shorts. Arthur Hayes predicts $250,000 by end-2026 and up to $750,000 by 2027, driven by geopolitical tensions and expected Fed cuts. Michael Saylor sees $150,000. Spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.4 billion inflows over five days, signaling strong institutional demand.
Altcoins rallied too, with Ether up 7.5%, Solana 5.3%, and XRP 8%, as equities recovered. Pepeto's presale has now exceeded $7.5 million since the $7.43 million mark last week. Backed by SolidProof audits and led by a Pepe ecosystem cofounder with a track record scaling a token past $7 billion, the project offers ~210% APY staking and aims to unify swapping, bridging, trading, risk scoring, and portfolio tools—positioning it for an expected altcoin boom post-bitcoin breakout.
