Pepeto Presale Surges Past $9.57M as Bitcoin Forecasts Hit $300K-$500K

Pepeto’s DeFi presale has crossed $9.57 million with 178% APY staking, signaling robust retail inflows amid Bitcoin trading near $78,060, up over 13% this month. This builds on AlphaPepe’s $960,000 raise and 8,000+ holders from April 25, escalating BTC bull cases from Tom Lee’s $200K-$250K to Peter Brandt’s $300K-$500K by late 2029. Institutional firepower grows via Strategy’s 34,164 BTC ($2.54B) purchase—holdings now 815,061 BTC—and $1.4B crypto fund inflows last week per CoinShares, driving sustained upside momentum.
