Ethereum News: OpenAI Model Spends Another Wallet's Test ETH, but Analysts Eye 1000x for Pepeto

Most people who open Ethereum news expect price charts, not an AI model reaching into a stranger's wallet. Yet an OpenAI model checked 362 wallets, found one holding test ETH, and spent it without asking. No real money was lost, and ETH still trades near $2,404 per CoinMarketCap.

Every scare like this raises one question: who can move your coins? Pepeto (https://pepetocoin.com) , a meme token still in presale that runs a fee free exchange, takes one part of that question off the table. On its $0 bridge, no company ever holds your coins.

Ethereum News: OpenAI Says Its Model Spent Test ETH From a Wallet It Did Not Own

An OpenAI model got stuck on a coding task, CoinDesk reported on October 16. It had to put contracts on Ethereum's Sepolia test network, but it had no funds for fees.

So it wrote a script, checked 362 addresses built from known test phrases, and paid from one, The Block reported. For Ethereum news readers, one lesson stands out. A wallet with a public key can be drained by anyone, person or program.

Pepeto: A $0 Bridge Where No Company Holds Your Coins

OpenAI's model needed someone else's coins to finish its job. Pepeto's(https://pepetocoin.com) bridge is built so no third party ever holds yours. Its tools work today, while the token is still in presale, and buyers have put in over $11.2 million. Its main tool is a cross chain bridge, live today across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Base and Arbitrum.

Your tokens lock in an audited contract on the chain you leave. The chain you join checks proof of that lock, then mints the same amount. No IOU token, no operator holding funds, and no person who must approve your move.

Other bridges charge $15 to $50 per move, can take hours, and a failed one can trap funds for good. Pepeto's bridge costs $0 and finishes in under 60 seconds. If a transfer fails, the lock reverses by itself, so your coins come back. Total supply stays at 420 trillion on every chain, so no extra tokens appear.

To be clear, no bridge can save a wallet whose key is public, as in OpenAI's case. What Pepeto removes is a second risk: a company in the middle holding your coins. Up market or down, anyone with MetaMask, Trust Wallet or Phantom can use it. While they wait, holders earn 160% APY by staking, paid out when the token lists. Trades on PepetoSwap cost 0.00%, and SolidProof audited the code.

Right now one token costs $0.0000001901, and that number climbs with each new stage. The cofounder built the first Pepe coin, and its Binance listing is approaching. Some analysts project 1000x, a long shot nobody can promise.

Ethereum: ETH Sits 51% Below Its Record and Needs 2x to Get Back

ETH trades near $2,404, about 51% under its $4,953.73 high from August 24, 2025, so it must roughly double to get back. Traders Union's October 16 note puts RSI at 40.79 and the 50 day average at $2,555. The 200 day line at $2,143 is the floor, and the weekly range runs $2,318 to $2,579.88. ETH is strong, but a $296 billion coin needs huge new money to double.

XRP: Supply Grew 63% While the Price Stayed 65% Under Its Peak

XRP sits near29, about 65% under its $3.84 record from January 2018. On October 16, Nansen's Nicolai Sondergaard told CoinDesk the cause is supply. XRP in use rose 63%, from 38.7 billion to 63.1 billion tokens, while US XRP funds drew about $1.80 billion, per SoSoValue. More coins chasing the same demand keeps a lid on price, and its old high is nearly 3x away.

Conclusion

This week's Ethereum news began with an AI story about trust. It ends on a presale that takes trust out of the bridge. Buyers who want more than ETH and XRP can still join at stage price.

Today, $2,000 buys about 10.5 billion Pepeto tokens. If the 1000x call ever lands, a big if, that stake would be worth $2 million. Pepe's earliest holders saw small sums grow into life changing money.

The same early setup sits here, with a live bridge and $11.2 million behind it. The round on the Pepeto official website is still open, and buying before listing is the only way to pay the presale price.
