    Ethereum-Based Pepeto Raises $10.5M in Presale Amid DeFi Demand

    Question

    Ethereum-Based Pepeto Raises $10.5M in Presale Amid DeFi Demand

    Direct answer

    The success of the Pepeto presale, raising over $10.5 million, suggests that there is still significant appetite for high-risk, high-reward DeFi projects. By offering zero-fee swaps, Pepeto is directly targeting the user base of established decentralized exchanges. This capital raise occurs against a backdrop of $8 trillion sitting in money market funds, which some analysts believe could eventually rotate back into risk assets like crypto.
