Crypto Bull Run Watch: Swiss Retail Gets Its First Bitcoin ETF as Pepeto Buyers Put $11.2M on the Table

Everyone waiting for the next crypto bull run wants proof that it has started. The total crypto market added $840.1 billion in the third quarter to reach $2.96 trillion, per AltcoinBuzz, citing CoinGecko. Yet Ethereum still sits 51.35% below its record.

Past bull runs began with low prices and wider access, and on October 20, Switzerland widened access again. New money needs a place to land. Pepeto (https://pepetocoin.net) , a presale meme token that runs its own exchange and a $0 bridge, now holds more than $11.2 million from buyers.

Switzerland Approves Its First Spot Bitcoin ETF for Everyday Buyers

The crypto bull run case got a fresh push on October 20. Swiss regulator FINMA approved the country's first spot Bitcoin ETF for retail buyers, per The Block. FINMA did not name the fund or the firm behind it.

Until now, the only crypto fund it had cleared, back in 2021, was for qualified investors. Crypto Potato noted that US spot Bitcoin ETFs already hold well over $57 billion. That is what retail access can do. Swiss money will come in slowly.

Bull Market Picks: A $0 Bridge Presale, Two Big Coins

Pepeto: A $0 Bridge Across Five Chains in Under a Minute

Pepeto's bridge moves coins across five chains for $0 in fees, usually in under a minute. That matters in a bull run, when money hops from chain to chain chasing the next move. On most bridges, each hop costs something.

What sets Pepeto apart is its cross chain bridge. Other bridges charge $15 to $50 a transfer and can take minutes or hours. Pepeto (https://pepetocoin.net) charges no bridge fee, only gas, and moves finish in under 60 seconds. One shown transfer took 41 seconds.

It works on lock and mint. Your tokens lock in an audited contract on the first chain. Once that lock is proven on chain, the same tokens appear on the second chain. There is no stand in IOU, so the total supply stays the same on every chain.

The biggest bridge fear is a stuck transfer, since some failed bridges have locked funds for good. On Pepeto, a failed transfer simply reverts. No operator ever holds your coins, and no one has to approve your move by hand.

Its code passed a SolidProof audit, and the bridge works beside PepetoSwap, the project's 0% fee exchange. So a move and a trade can happen in the same place. It covers five chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Base and Arbitrum.

An ETF is one way into crypto. Holding coins yourself means moving them, and that is where the bridge saves money. A token costs $0.0000001902 now, and the price steps up with each new stage. With analysts projecting 500x after listing, a free bridge bought before listing is a strong early bet for a run that spreads across chains.

Ethereum: $2,432 Now, $2,550 the Line to Beat

Ethereum trades at $2,432 on CoinMarketCap, 51.35% below its August 24, 2025 record of $4,953.73. Analyst Ted Pillows told CoinCentral on October 17 that a weekly close above $2,550 would mark a bottom, with $3,000 next. His support sits at $2,350.

That is a fair map for the coin that often leads a bull run. Still, ETH needs just over 2x to return to its high. ETH is a strong coin, but big coins climb slowly.

Chainlink: A Japan Deal, but LINK Is 77% Down

Chainlink trades at $12.15 on CoinMarketCap, 77.32% below its May 10, 2021 record of $52.88. Japan's Pacific Meta picked Chainlink's cross chain tools, a deal announced October 16, per 24/7 Wall St.

LINK still fell 8.5% that week. A Japanese firm choosing it shows real demand. Yet an $8.96 billion coin needs about 4.4x to reach its high, and that takes time.

Conclusion

Switzerland's approval is one more sign the crypto bull run case is building. You searched for where gains start, and they rarely start at the top. ETH and LINK must double or more just to reach old highs.

Last cycle, Bitcoin topped its old record in March 2024, about 346% above its late 2022 low, per The Block. Wallets that bought in 2022 acted before the crowd had a reason to look.

Pepeto already holds more than $11.2 million in presale buys, with a working exchange behind it. A bare meme has only its story, while Pepeto adds working tools. Today's stage on the Pepeto official website sets the price, and the next one costs more. For Pepeto, the run starts at listing, and that has not come yet.
