Pepeto, a DeFi exchange, has announced a major security update that is drawing in significant investment from large cryptocurrency wallets tied to major Bitcoin holders. This comes as Bitcoin price predictions target $200,000 and news around former President Trump's incoming Federal Reserve chair point to an impending bull cycle in the crypto market.

Data shows large wallets tied to major Bitcoin holders are rapidly entering Pepeto's presale, as they recognize the potential for outsized returns once the project launches on Binance.
