While Markets Panic, Pepeto Raises $7.2M During Single-Digit Fear

Dubai, UAE - February 2026

The Fear and Greed Index just printed 8. Single digits. The last time this indicator reached these levels was November 2022, the week FTX imploded and dragged the entire crypto market into what felt like an extinction event. Bitcoin dropped to $15,500. Ethereum fell below $900. And every crypto forum on the internet was filled with people declaring the market dead.

Twelve months later, Bitcoin had tripled. PEPE had launched and hit $7 billion. And the traders who bought during that single digit fear reading were the only ones celebrating.

The same setup is forming right now. Maximum fear. Minimum greed. And one presale raising capital through the chaos like the market panic does not exist.

Pepeto ($PEPETO) has crossed $7.2 million raised at pepeto.io while the Fear and Greed Index tells the rest of the market to hide under the bed. That divergence is the most telling signal in crypto right now. When retail investors run scared and one project keeps attracting capital, it means the people who are buying have done enough research to ignore the noise.

What they found is a meme coin ecosystem with three working products. PepetoSwap for Ethereum meme token trading at zero cost. Pepeto Bridge for cross chain connectivity. Pepeto Exchange for the first dedicated meme coin listing platform. All functional. All testable today.
They also found dual audits from SolidProof and Coinsult confirming the smart contracts are clean. Zero transaction tax. Staking above 210 percent APY. A founder who cofounded the original Pepe token. And a confirmed Binance listing that serves as the catalyst for everything that comes after the presale.

Warren Buffett built his fortune by being greedy when others are fearful. The same principle applies to crypto but on an accelerated timeline. The tokens that launch or position during extreme fear periods consistently outperform those that emerge during hype cycles. PEPE launched during a bear market and outperformed every token that launched during the 2021 bull run. SHIB's biggest accumulation phase happened when sentiment was terrible.

Pepeto at $0.000000185 is accumulating during a Fear and Greed reading of 8. The presale is 70 percent filled. The community is growing through the downturn instead of shrinking. That is the kind of resilience that separates projects with real foundations from the ones that collapse when conditions get tough.

The window created by extreme fear readings has historically been the shortest and most profitable window in all of crypto. It does not stay open for months. It opens, the smart money positions, and then sentiment shifts and prices move before the crowd realizes the bottom was already in.

Over $7.2 million says the smart money has already decided. The remaining 30 percent of the presale is all that is left at $0.000000185 before the Binance listing rewrites the math entirely.

The founder who cofounded the original Pepe token built this project to thrive during exactly these conditions. PEPE launched when fear was everywhere and went to $7 billion with zero products. Pepeto launches with three working demos, dual audits, staking at 210 percent APY, zero tax, and a confirmed Binance listing. The fear reading of 8 is not a warning. It is the timestamp on the best entry this cycle will produce.

When sentiment shifts from fear to greed, the remaining allocation will vanish overnight as traders scramble to position before the listing. That shift can happen in days. The presale closure is permanent.
Fear is temporary. Positioning is permanent.
