Dubai, UAE, Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pepeto announced today that all three core trading tools received major upgrades as the presale officially crossed $7.33 million in total funding. The update comes as Bitcoin reclaimed the $70,000 level after weeks of extreme selling pressure. PepetoSwap, the Pepeto Bridge, and the Pepeto Exchange all entered advanced demo stages with faster routing, expanded chain support, and a refined trading interface. With Bitcoin climbing and the broader crypto market turning green, Pepeto's timing couldn't be sharper.Crypto News: Pepeto Presale Accelerates as Bitcoin Breaks Back Above $70,000Bitcoin just reclaimed $70,000 after crashing below $60,000 earlier this month. That's a bounce of more than 15% in days. As reported by CoinDesk, the recovery came after cooling U.S. inflation data and $616 million in back to back ETF inflows led by Fidelity and BlackRock. The Fear and Greed Index had dropped to 10. That's deeper fear than the FTX collapse in 2022. But Bitcoin recovered anyway. It always does. The pattern hasn't changed in fifteen years. Bitcoin drops hard. Weak hands sell. Institutional money buys the dip. Then the entire crypto market follows.That's exactly what's happening now. Bitcoin's recovery above $70,000 signals the worst is likely over. And when Bitcoin goes up, altcoins and especially meme coins tend to go up even faster.Pepeto Positions for Meme Coin Season as Dogecoin History RepeatsEvery major Bitcoin rally triggers the same chain reaction. First Bitcoin moves. Then Ethereum follows. Then meme coins explode. It happened in 2017. It happened in 2021. And it's setting up again right now.Look at what Dogecoin did last time. Bitcoin crossed $40,000 in early 2021. Within weeks, Dogecoin rocketed from $0.007 to $0.73. That's over 10,000% driven entirely by Bitcoin's surge plus Elon Musk. Musk tweeted about Dogecoin constantly. Tesla accepted DOGE for merchandise. SpaceX funded a satellite mission in Dogecoin. As CoinDesk reported just weeks ago, Musk replied 'maybe next year' when asked about putting Dogecoin on the moon through SpaceX. That comment put DOGE back in headlines overnight. Musk still holds Bitcoin and Dogecoin personally. Tesla carries over 11,500 BTC worth more than $1 billion. When Bitcoin rallies, Elon Musk pulls meme coin attention right back.Pepeto Offers What Dogecoin Can't at This Stage of the CycleHere's the thing about Dogecoin right now. It sits at $18 billion market cap. It's down 90% from its peak. Even a huge rally gives holders maybe 3x to 5x. That's decent. But it's not the kind of return that changes lives. The biggest gains in crypto don't come from buying what already pumped. They come from buying before the listing. That means presales.A presale is when a project sells tokens at a fixed low price before going live on exchanges. Early Dogecoin buyers paid fractions of a penny. SHIB launched at twelve zeros. Those coins created millionaires. But only for people who got in first.Pepeto Announces Advanced Demo Upgrades Across Swap Bridge and ExchangePepeto sits at $0.000000184 right now. Six zeros. Still in presale. Still before exchange listing. And unlike most presale tokens with nothing but a whitepaper, Pepeto just upgraded three working demos.PepetoSwap now runs faster routing for quicker trades. The Pepeto Bridge expanded its cross chain testing across multiple networks. The Pepeto Exchange refined its interface for smoother order flow. All three are testable at pepeto.io right now. On top of that, a Pepe original cofounder backs the project. Binance listing is confirmed. Dual security audits from SolidProof and Coinsult protect every investor. Zero percent buy and sell tax.Pepeto also offers 212% staking APY. Put in $3,000 and earn $6,420 a year just for holding. That's a nice bonus. But the real upside is the price itself. A $50 million market cap after listing turns 10,000 into a million dollar. SHIB reached $40 billion with zero products. So the question is: How could Pepeto do less ? Pepeto Presale Enters Final Phase as Bitcoin Rally Signals Go TimeThe presale has raised over $7.33 million and it's past 70% filled. Once it closes, there are no second chances at $0.000000186. Bitcoin is back above $70,000. The crypto market is turning green. Meme coin season follows every time. The people who got rich on Dogecoin didn't buy at $18 billion. They bought before anyone noticed. That window is open right now with Pepeto.

Takata warns of inflation overshoot, reinforcing expectations of further BOJ tightening and lifting the yen.Summary:BOJ board member Hajime Takata warned of inflation overshoot risks.Repeated call for gradual further rate hikes.Said Japan has effectively achieved the 2% inflation target.Flagged rising medium- and long-term inflation expectations.Remarks came after PM Sanae Takaichi signalled preference for loose policy.Media framed speech as hawkish pushback — yen strengthened.Financial media coverage has zeroed in on renewed hawkish messaging from Hajime Takata, sending the yen firmer earlier as markets reassessed the trajectory of Bank of Japan tightening.Takata, widely seen as the most hawkish member of the Bank of Japan board, said the BOJ must focus on the risk of an inflation overshoot, arguing that medium- and long-term inflation expectations are rising and price increases are increasingly feeding into second-round effects.He reiterated his view that Japan has effectively achieved the BOJ’s 2% inflation target and that the economy has emerged from prolonged stagnation. Against that backdrop, Takata called for gradual further rate hikes, saying policy should “make a further gear shift” and assume price stability is almost achieved.The timing is notable. His remarks came just a day after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi signalled a desire for continued accommodative policy, a stance widely interpreted as dovish. Media framed Takata’s speech as a counterbalance — reinforcing policy independence and highlighting inflation risks at a moment of political signalling.Takata also pointed to global forces, including massive fiscal and monetary stimulus and the AI-driven investment boom, as factors that could lift global growth and intensify domestic inflation pressures. He emphasised that deeply negative real borrowing costs are still stimulating credit demand, even after December’s rate hike to 0.75%, a 30-year high.Importantly, Takata rejected the idea of relying heavily on an estimated neutral rate — calling it difficult to measure — and instead advocated steady, incremental tightening.The market reaction reflected the hawkish tilt. The yen strengthened as investors priced a higher probability that the BOJ’s next move will be up rather than an extended pause, particularly after Takata’s unsuccessful push for a 1.0% rate in January.
