Bitcoin Price Today Hovers Near $81,000 as China Chases 61,800 BTC, While Analysts Eye 100x for Pepeto

Anyone checking the bitcoin price today sees a coin that cannot pick a side. It sits near $81,560, down about 2% on the day, according to CoinDesk. Yet the louder story this week is a court fight over coins worth about $5.1 billion. Bitcoin also sits about 35% under its record of $126,198, set in October 2025.

A fight over 61,800 coins raises a plain question: who holds yours? It sits at the core of Pepeto (https://pepetocoin.net) , a meme coin presale whose zero fee exchange never takes your coins. Its buyers have put up more than $11.2 million.

China Chases 61,800 Seized Coins as the Bitcoin Price Holds Near $81,000

Chinese prosecutors asked a court to take more than 61,800 BTC that the UK seized in a fraud case, CoinDesk reported on Oct 22. At the current bitcoin price, those coins are worth about $5.1 billion, per Decrypt.

The money traces to Qian Zhimin, whose scheme took 40.378 billion yuan, about $5.7 billion, from more than 102,000 people. A court in Tianjin posted its notice on Oct 13 and gave claimants six months. So those coins sit in court, not on a sell order. The sharper lesson is how the 102,000 lost their money. One company held it.

A Bitcoin Price Stall and a Fraud Lesson: Pepeto's Exchange First, Then BTC Levels

Pepeto: A 0% Fee Exchange Where No Company Holds Your Coins

Pepeto's exchange is built the other way around, with no middleman holding your coins. Pepeto (https://pepetocoin.net) has raised more than $11.2 million from buyers so far. The stage price is $0.0000001902, and it goes up at every new stage. So the buyer who acts at this stage pays less than anyone after him.

The exchange is the heart of the project. PepetoSwap is live, and its swap fee is 0.00%, so a trader pays network gas and nothing more. On Uniswap, a $1,000 trade costs $3 in fees, and a $100,000 trade costs $300. Make 200 trades of $5,000, and the bill grows to $3,000 there against $0 here. That saving lands in your pocket on every trade. For an active trader, that is real money.

Using it takes a minute. You connect MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rabby or Phantom and trade straight from that wallet. Your coins never sit with a company, so no one can vanish with them like Qian did.

Market, limit and DCA orders are all there. A private relay shields each trade from bots, and it is on by default. Before a swap, a built in scanner checks the coin and blocks trades on contracts it flags as critical. With a Binance listing approaching, Pepeto suits bitcoin holders who want an earlier seat beside their big coin. Analysts project 100x for Pepeto after listing.

At today's stage price, $1,000 buys about 5.26 billion tokens. If analysts are right, that stack would be worth about $100,000, though nothing is promised. For bitcoin at $81,000, a 100x would mean $8.1 million per coin. Moves that size now belong to early coins.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Can BTC Climb Back to $87,000 This Month?

BTC can reach $87,000 this month, but buyers must first win back $82,638. Bitcoin trades near $81,560 on CoinMarketCap. Coin Edition puts that first ceiling at the 20 day EMA, $82,638, with support at the 50 day EMA, $80,819. Its RSI reads 49.21, right in the middle, so neither side is in charge.

This week, DiarioBitcoin marks $81,410 as the key floor, a 23.6% Fibonacci level. Its next ceilings are $82,999 and then $84,770, the high from Wednesday. Coin Edition eyes $85,000 and then $87,000 if the bounce holds.

For the month, analyst John Decoded told Benzinga that turning $83,500 into support could open a run to the mid $90,000s. A drop under $77,412, the 100 day EMA, breaks that plan. Below it, Coin Edition watches $76,140, the 200 day EMA.

Conclusion

In July 2010, bitcoin sold for about $0.08, so $1,000 bought 12,500 BTC. At today's bitcoin price, that bag is worth about $1.03 billion. Those buyers never read charts. They were simply early.

Pepeto sits at that same early stage now, before any exchange lists it, and analysts project 100x after listing. If they are right, the buyers at today's stage hold the most tokens for each dollar when that move comes. The round on the Pepeto official website moves up a step when this stage ends. Two people read this story today. One buys before the listing, and the other pays more later.
