Ether surged 7.5%, Solana gained 5.3%, and XRP jumped 8% amid a broad market rebound. Since the start of March, spot Bitcoin ETFs have absorbed $700 million in net inflows, pushing the total crypto market cap above $2.35 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap. Global equities also rallied, reinforcing the return of risk appetite across asset classes.
ETH, SOL, XRP Lead Rally as ETF Inflows Accelerate
The easing of geopolitical tensions triggered a sharp reversal in risk assets. Bitcoin ETF inflows over the past two weeks have been the strongest since January, directly lifting BTC and dragging altcoins higher. ETH topped $1,900, SOL reclaimed $120, and XRP approached $0.80. Futures open interest for both ETH and SOL expanded, with long positions dominating.
Pepeto Presale Crosses $7.5M, Builds Full Exchange Infrastructure
Amid the rally, the Pepeto presale raised over $7.5 million. The project is led by a co-founder of the Pepe ecosystem who previously built a token worth $7 billion. Pepeto is developing a cross-chain bridge connecting Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana, along with a zero-tax trading engine and a token risk scoring system. All contracts are audited by SolidProof. Users can manage bridging, trading, risk scoring, and portfolio through a single dashboard. Additionally, staking offers 209% APY compounded daily, with strong community lock-up commitment.
DOGE Bounce Fizzles, ADA Stuck Below $0.30
Dogecoin jumped 7.5% but still trades near $0.09, down over 80% from its all-time high. The bullish target of $0.47 relies on a pattern with no guarantee of repeating, and given DOGE's massive market cap, a 5x would take years. Cardano traded around $0.27 after failing to break $0.30 resistance again. Funding rates turned negative, open interest slipped, and selling volume grew on red days. Even the optimistic $0.40 target offers only a 2x return, prompting traders to rotate into presale opportunities with higher multiples.
