Bitcoin Reaches $80,000, Pepeto Presale Hits $9.5 Million

Bitcoin's price has reached $80,000 for the first time since January, but Strategy has paused its weekly purchases ahead of Tuesday earnings. This pause follows a significant addition of 34,164 BTC worth $2.54 billion to their holdings, bringing their total to 815,061 BTC.

Experienced trader Peter Brandt predicts that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2029 after a bottom lasting into September 2026, as reported by CoinDesk. While this is a high ceiling, the floor may take months, making it essential to explore other cryptocurrencies with potential for growth.

Pepeto's presale has raised over $9.5 million and is expected to list on Binance soon. The project has a strong foundation, with an experienced Binance builder designing its exchange tools and a SolidProof audit ensuring transparency. The staking at 175% APY provides a reason for buyers to hold onto their tokens until listing day.

ETH trades near $2,346 after whales bought $322 million worth of ETH in a single day, while SOL trades near $84.07 following Visa and Western Union's choice of Solana for stablecoin settlement.
