Pepeto Ethereum-based ERC20 in final stage of pre-sale
The pre-sale projects constitute a chance to fund the project at the early stages, before official launch. Historically, investors who have spotted the right valuable tokens, made successful investments, especially in the cryptocurrency market.
Pepeto, a meme coin project developed on an Ethereum blockchain, has raised over $5.5 million in total presale contributions. With Demo version of its exchange launched, the project continues to draw attention as it combines meme culture with bridge and tech swap infrastructure.
Pepeto’s Ethereum Powered Exchange
The world of meme coins is shifting and Pepeto is leading that change with more than just hype. Built on Ethereum, this project is reshaping expectations by blending entertainment with real blockchain infrastructure.
At the core of Pepeto’s offering is a full-fledged decentralized exchange, equipped with PepetoSwap technology and a frictionless bridge that connects multiple blockchains. Traders no longer have to rely on high-fee swaps or centralized platforms. Instead, Pepeto gives them fast, secure, and zero-fee trading backed by Ethereum’s network.
This makes Pepeto ideal for both casual users and serious investors who want speed, scalability, and safety, all in one place. As more Layer-2 solutions gain traction, Pepeto positions itself as one of the few meme coins offering actual technical value.
Utility, Speed, and Culture: The Triple Threat
- Zero-fee trades via PepetoSwap Exchange
- Cross-chain bridge for fast, low-cost swaps
- Fully-audited smart contract
- Viral frog narrative with Elon and PEPE ties
- Tier 1 exchange listing announcement expected soon
Pepeto’s Vision and Contribution to the Crypto Space
Pepeto is an ambitious underdog focused on transforming how finance operates in the digital age. It recently rolled out the Pepeto Bridge exchange, designed to fix cross-chain issues, boost liquidity, and enable seamless swaps between networks.
One big reason for its momentum is the presale, which has already secured $5.5 million while tokens remain priced at just $0.000000142 each.
Leading analysts say Pepeto could be the next breakout star in August, with plans to raise even more capital as its presale continues.
Pepeto’s initials: Power, Energy, Precision, Efficiency, Technology, and Optimization, highlight why it’s called the God of Frogs, promising security and clarity for all holders.
Early buyers are especially optimistic since it’s not yet trading on centralized exchanges, giving newcomers time to join before the liquidity floodgates open.
How to Buy $PEPETO
Investors can join the $PEPETO presale today via the official website. Tokens are available at $0.000000142, with payment options including USDT, ETH, and BNB. Early participants can capitalize on staking rewards and other exclusive ecosystem benefits.

As AI continues to reshape the digital frontier, a new paradigm is emerging–not just smarter tools, but sovereign, autonomous AI Beings that live, learn, and evolve on-chain. CARV, the Web3 infrastructure stack known for its decentralized identity and verifiable data layers, is doubling down on this vision with the recent launch of its new roadmap, signaling a shift from data infrastructure to full-stack agent ecosystems. The goal? To create a biosphere where AI is not merely an assistant, but a digital species able to participate with full independence.
In alignment with this transformative roadmap, CARV has teamed up with Fair3 to co-host the Tech Fairness Hackathon, now entering its voting phase with over 683 participants. With $50,000 prize pool, the hackathon challenges builders to create AI applications that leverage CARV’s infrastructure, including the CARV SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and ERC-7231-based Agent ID system. These components provide the digital organs AI Beings need: verifiable identity, consent-based data, real-time execution, and on-chain incentives. The hackathon is not a side quest; it’s a proving ground for the agent economies that CARV envisions.
At the core of this initiative is the belief that intelligence must evolve from passive tooling into active agency. Today, most AI implementations serve at the command of users, generating text, answering queries, or optimizing recommendations. But what happens when AI earns income, governs its own upgrades, or negotiates with other agents? That’s the future CARV is designing for, and it’s already in motion.
This future also ties directly into macro developments. President Donald Trump introduced and signed the GENIUS Act (Government Encouraging New Ideas to Understand Superintelligence Act), a sweeping U.S. initiative that frames AI as a national security priority. The proposed legislation calls for massive federal investment into foundational AI research, ethical frameworks, and a push to ensure American leadership in superintelligence. The act reflects what many in Web3 already see: AI is no longer a feature, it is becoming the next layer of governance in digital life.
But if the GENIUS Act represents the top-down, state-led approach to shaping AI’s future, CARV stands for the bottom-up counterforce: decentralized, user-sovereign, programmable intelligence that no single entity can control. Where governments aim to regulate and monopolize, CARV invites open collaboration. Where closed models dominate, CARV offers composability. And where centralized systems extract user data, CARV lets users monetize and control it.
CARV’s commitment to this future is already validated by real-world momentum. In Q2 2025, the project secured 12 new partnerships across AI, infrastructure, and consumer verticals, signaling its expansion beyond data plumbing into full-fledged agent ecosystems.
On the infrastructure side, Open Ledger is enabling users to monetize their data contributions for AI training and usage, while Boom is creating smart loyalty and referral mechanics integrated into CARV Play. On the AI front, integrations with Unibase, SirenAI, and XPIN now bring verifiable and privacy-preserving data flows to decentralized AI applications, from communication protocols to contextual analysis.
Meanwhile, consumer-facing partnerships like World 3, EureXa AI, and OKZOO demonstrate how CARV’s infrastructure can power intelligent agents in gaming, smart homes, and even AI-powered pets. In education, Hooked, a Binance Labs-backed platform, is exploring CARV ID for verifiable learning credentials, showing how decentralized identity is becoming essential in AI-augmented learning.
These integrations validate CARV’s foundational thesis: that to empower truly sovereign AI Beings, the ecosystem must deliver composable identity, encrypted context, real-time decisioning, and transparent incentives. This is no longer just infrastructure, it’s an operating system for AI Beings.
As the Tech Fairness Hackathon nears its conclusion, it is more than a showcase of ideas, it is a manifestation of CARV’s roadmap in action. Builders aren’t just competing for prizes; they’re shaping what it means to build with AI in a world where intelligence is verifiable, autonomous, and decentralized.
And as regulatory landscapes evolve, from the GENIUS Act to international AI treaties, CARV offers a compelling answer: don’t just govern AI. Empower it to live. Because the future isn’t tool-centric; it’s agent-driven. The rise of AI Beings has already begun and CARV is paving the way for it.
About CARV
CARV is where Sovereign AI Beings live, learn, and evolve.
What are AI Beings? They are sovereign intelligences born natively on-chain. AI Beings are designed with purpose, autonomy, and the capacity for growth. They possess memory, identity, and the ability to perceive and interact with their environment, not just to execute tasks, but to make independent decisions, adapt over time, and pursue self-defined goals.
Anchored by its proprietary CARV SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and CARV ID/Agent ID system (ERC-7231), CARV enables verifiable, consent-based AI Beings that learn, adapt, and co-create with users. Driven by CARV’s AI-first stack, consumer AI apps incubated through CARV Labs launched on Google Play, App Store and beyond, reaching billions of people, bringing agent-powered experiences and real-world incentives into mainstream digital life.
With 8M+ CARV IDs issued, 60K+ verifier nodes, and 1,000+ integrated games, CARV bridges AI agents, Web3 infrastructure, and real-world utility, fueling the rise of agent-driven economies. At its core, $CARV token powers staking, governance, and coordination across this stack, making CARV the operating system for AI Beings on Web3.

GSR, crypto’s capital markets partner, today announced an investment and strategic partnership with MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:MEIP) (“MEI”), in which it will serve as both strategic advisor and digital asset treasury manager. The $100 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) into MEI represents a significant step toward institutionalizing Litecoin as a treasury asset.
GSR will work closely with Litecoin (LTC) creator Charlie Lee, who brings deep technical credibility and a long-term perspective on Litecoin’s evolution, with support from the Litecoin Foundation. Lee and a GSR appointee will also join MEI’s Board of Directors. This initiative follows MEI’s previously announced review of strategic alternatives and reflects its new mission in alignment with both the Litecoin Foundation and GSR’s digital asset management platform.
“Litecoin has consistently delivered a stable, low-cost, and accessible network for over a decade,” said Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin. “With leading global transaction volume on platforms like BitPay, Litecoin is trusted by users and integrated across retail and payments. This partnership with GSR and MEI brings that utility and mission into an institutional setting for the first time.”
MEI’s leadership is driving this strategic shift, viewing the partnership as a bridge between public markets and crypto-native innovation. With GSR serving as asset manager and execution partner, MEI will be well-positioned to manage LTC as a treasury asset.
“This initiative represents the first time a public company is aligning its treasury strategy with Litecoin at an institutional level,” said Joshua Riezman, US Chief Strategy Officer, GSR. “It reflects rising institutional confidence in LTC’s credibility, resilience, and regulatory clarity.”
“There is already meaningful institutional interest in Litecoin, but few mechanisms exist to access it in a secure and structured way,” said Quynh Ho, Head of Venture Investment, GSR. “This investment is designed to close that gap by enabling access to an asset with remarkable staying power.”
With GSR as an investor, strategic advisor, and asset manager, the collaboration creates potential momentum for LTC’s future growth in decentralized finance. GSR’s broader involvement in the space, including the incubation of the Polygon-based protocol Katana, highlights its expertise in supporting emerging ecosystems.
Charlie Lee and GSR acted as lead investors, alongside participation from the Litecoin Foundation and prominent crypto venture capital firms and infrastructure providers, including Mozayyx, Parafi, HiveMind, Primitive, RLH Capital, Delta Blockchain, and CoinFund, among other financial institutions.
GSR continues to invest in the broader digital asset ecosystem, offering capital solutions, liquidity, and strategic advisory services to partners at all stages of growth.

- Token holders have the primary claim to the value of any held collateral.
- Proof of Reserves, powered by Chainlink, coming soon for xStocks.
Supporting Capital Flexibility via Strategic Allocation and Execution Infrastructure
The launch of xStocks enhances capital efficiency and portfolio agility for crypto-native users, while also providing new tools to balance risk and reward across market cycles:

In a live financial television interview, Streamex CEO Henry McPhie unveiled new details surrounding the company’s strategic merger with BioSig Technologies (NASDAQ: BSGM), which officially positions Streamex as one of the first publicly traded real-world asset (RWA) tokenization companies focused on the $142 trillion commodities market.
The interview aired just days after the highly anticipated Circle IPO, which McPhie noted has signaled a “very bullish market for crypto-related stocks.”
“We were lucky to get to the market even before the Circle IPO,” said McPhie. “With our merger with BSGM, we’ve brought Streamex to the Nasdaq, allowing us to deliver a truly innovative public vehicle for commodities tokenization.”
The newly merged entity aims to bring real-world commodities on-chain through financial products tailored specifically to the unique dynamics of the sector. According to McPhie, the company’s mission centers on the democratization of capital and efficiency of assets — two core principles enabled by blockchain tokenization.
“With tokenization, we can create financial instruments that don’t exist today in the commodity space,” he added. “It’s about unlocking value, liquidity, and access.”
Backing this mission are key industry veterans now serving as advisors, including:
- Shaun Rosen, founder of what was once North America’s largest mining operation (Osoco Mining)
- Frank Giustra, a serial entrepreneur who has built multiple companies exceeding $50 billion in combined valuation
Streamex is fully regulated in Canada and is actively pursuing U.S. broker-dealer registration to further solidify its presence in North America’s financial markets.
“As a first mover in this space, we’re paving the path for commodity tokenization to go mainstream — bringing novel, efficient assets to public investors,” said McPhie.
About Streamex
Streamex is building the future of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, with a focus on commodities and hard assets. The company’s mission is to create financial instruments that bring efficiency, liquidity, and broader access to global markets through blockchain-based innovation.
