The Cofounder Behind the $7 Billion Pepe Phenomenon Just Shipped Three Products With Pepeto Before Raising a Single Dollar. History Says the Second Project From a Proven Builder Outperforms

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, February 2026 In crypto, the second project from a proven builder almost always outperforms the first. Vitalik Buterin worked on Bitcoin Magazine before creating Ethereum. Changpeng Zhao built systems at OKCoin before launching Binance. Andre Cronje iterated through multiple DeFi experiments before Yearn Finance. The first project teaches the lessons. The second project applies them.

The cofounder of Pepe watched the original project reach $7 billion in market cap on pure meme energy. Zero products. Zero infrastructure. Zero mechanism to sustain the value. Then the correction came. $5.6 billion in market cap evaporated because there was nothing underneath to hold the floor. The lesson was brutal and clear: meme energy without infrastructure is temporary. Meme energy with infrastructure is transformational.

That lesson became Pepeto ($PEPETO) at https://pepeto.io/. Three working product demos shipped before the presale accepted its first dollar. $7.29 million raised at $0.000000186 per token. Presale 70 percent filled and accelerating. Confirmed Binance listing. The second project from the builder who created a $7 billion meme phenomenon.

What Pepe Taught Its Cofounder About Building a Meme Coin That Lasts

Pepe launched with four stated pillars: Power, Energy, Precision, Efficiency. The abbreviation spelled PEPE. The intention was a meme coin with substance. The reality was a speculative vehicle that spiked and crashed because no products existed to generate sustainable demand.

The cofounder took that failure personally. Not the market failure the infrastructure failure. The lesson was not that meme coins cannot sustain value. The lesson was that meme coins need dedicated trading tools, cross-chain connectivity, and exchange access to convert viral energy into lasting ecosystems.

PepetoSwap was the answer to Pepe's trading problem. Zero-tax meme trading on Ethereum. Pepeto Bridge was the answer to Pepe's fragmentation problem. Cross-chain token routing that connects isolated ecosystems. Pepeto Exchange was the answer to Pepe's listing problem. The first dedicated venue for meme coin projects with $PEPETO at the protocol level.

Three problems identified from Pepe's experience. Three products built to solve them. Three demos live and testable before the presale launched. This is what a second project from a proven builder looks like.

The Bitcoin Backdrop Makes This Second Project Even More Explosive

Bitcoin at $65,000 with Bernstein targeting $250,000 by 2027. JPMorgan projecting $266,000 long term. Fundstrat's Tom Lee calling for $250,000 after the trend flips. Goldman Sachs setting $200,000 targets. Every major Bitcoin price cycle sends exponential capital into the meme sector.

When Bitcoin peaked at $69,000 in 2021, PEPE launched into the recovery and reached $7 billion with nothing. Pepeto (https://pepeto.io/) launches into the next Bitcoin cycle with three products, dual audits from SolidProof and Coinsult, confirmed Binance listing, 211% APY staking, and the same cofounder who built the last $7 billion meme phenomenon.

For an investor allocating $150,000 at $0.000000186, a 100x produces $15 million. The staking generates $321,000 annually. If the second project outperforms the first which history consistently shows the multiples that Pepe achieved represent the starting point, not the ceiling.

Second Projects From Proven Builders Define Cycles

The presale at Pepeto is 70 percent filled. The cofounder who created a $7 billion meme coin has shipped three products with lessons learned from every mistake the first project made. The Binance listing is confirmed. The staking locks supply at 211% APY. Dual audits are published.

The remaining 30 percent is the window to own the second project from a builder whose first created $7 billion in value from nothing. With infrastructure this time. The staking at 211% APY compounds positions daily while the Binance listing approaches. SolidProof and Coinsult dual audits eliminate the security questions. And the three product demos answer the utility question before anyone has to ask it.

The cofounder learned from Pepe. Built Pepeto. Shipped products before asking for money. The market is responding with $7.29 million in validated conviction. The second project from a proven builder does not announce itself quietly. It announces itself by outperforming everything that came before.
