Three names keep surfacing. Pepeto (PEPETO) looks like a real Dogecoin challenger thanks to presale traction and practical utility. PENGU and PUMP are gaining fans too, but many see their biggest wave cresting closer to 2027.
Pepeto is more than a culture coin. With over $6.9 million already raised and a current presale price near $0.000000158, entry remains tiny for early buyers. The team also shipped the PepetoSwap demo, a zero‑fee exchange planned to list new meme coins in 2026, proof of progress before listings.
Staking is live at 222% APY, helping holders grow positions ahead of exchanges. Matching Pepe’s 420 trillion max supply, Pepeto nods to meme roots while pushing utility, T for Technology and O for Opportunity, the angles many investors want.
If Pepeto climbs toward Pepe’s recent price area near $0.00001094, early buyers could see strong multiples on cost. With staking on top, the upside case strengthens.
PENGU began as an NFT brand and now trades as a meme coin near $0.036, around a $2.3 billion market cap. Roughly 63 billion tokens circulate, and the community helped it rise about 20 % this week.
For a 15,000 % move, PENGU would need to top $5, which is a heavy lift even with NFT tailwinds. Pepeto, priced in fractions of a cent, offers more room for large multiples and invites comparisons to Shiba’s early runway.
Pump.fun, or PUMP, serves as a launch hub for Solana meme coins. PUMP trades near $0.006 with roughly 354 billion circulating. The platform has enabled countless launches and reportedly attracted $600 million in minutes earlier this year, showing intense demand.
PUMP captures Solana’s energy, yet Pepeto blends story and infrastructure. With a lower presale entry and a working demo exchange, Pepeto is drawing retail and early whales scouting the next x100 setup.
At the current presale level of $0.000000158, a $10,000 allocation buys about 63.7 billion tokens. If Pepeto tracks prior meme leaders, the math turns compelling.
| Scenario | Target Price | Value of $10,000 Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Pepeto reaches Pepe’s price ($0.000009158) | $586,990 | 5,770 %. |
| Pepeto climbs halfway to Dogecoin’s price ($0.114961) | $7.37 M | 73,000 %. |
| Pepeto matches Dogecoin’s price ($0.229922) | $14.74 M | 147,385 %. |
• Reaching Pepe’s zone implies roughly 61× on cost, about +6,170 %, with the same 420 T cap.
• Half of Dogecoin implies about 779×, near +77,900 %.
• Matching Dogecoin implies about 1,558×, near +155,800 %.
Even the conservative case turns $10,000 into well over $600,000. Add 222 % staking APY, and early holders compound balances, keeping a 15,000 % headline within reach this cycle.
By Year End, Our Bottom Line
Meme coins are risky, yet full of upside. PENGU and PUMP may peak closer to 2027 as ecosystems expand. Pepeto stands out now. With over $6.9 million raised, 222 % staking APY, and clear meme lineage, it is pulling SHIB‑like attention.
If price moves from $0.000000158 toward Pepe’s trading band, early entrants could see once‑in‑a‑cycle gains. The question many ask is simple: is Pepeto the next Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, or Pepe? Early believers and stakers will decide.
