The U.S. Treasury issued its first proposed rule under the GENIUS Act on April 2, opening a 60-day public comment period to define federal regulation for stablecoin companies, as reported by TheStreet Crypto. The rule assesses whether state-level regulations meet federal standards—a critical step toward integrating stablecoins into the U.S. financial system. Institutions are not waiting; capital has already flowed into the Pepeto presale.
Pepeto Presale: $8.69M Raised Amid Market Fear
According to the source, the Pepeto presale has secured over $8.69 million, backed by a cofounder who built Pepe to an $11 billion market cap. Investors can stake at 189% APY, compounding daily. PepetoSwap offers zero-fee trading across three blockchains, bridging without gas penalties, AI-screened token listings, and contracts audited by SolidProof.
This $8.69 million flowed in during extreme market fear—when most presales struggled to attract capital. It signals conviction from wallets that studied the infrastructure and committed. As media coverage builds, the quiet accumulation phase is ending. Once mainstream attention arrives, current entry prices cannot survive the subsequent volume.
Bitcoin Hyper: $31M Raised, No Confirmed Launch
Bitcoin Hyper markets itself as a Bitcoin-native Layer 2 on the Solana Virtual Machine, raising over $31 million. However, the team has not confirmed a launch date and development updates are sparse. The whitepaper targeted a Q1 2026 launch, which ended March 31 without confirmation. Committing capital based solely on fundraising totals without a timeline or visible development presents a risk profile the capital figure alone cannot justify.
PEPE: Trading 85% Below ATH
According to CoinMarketCap, PEPE trades at $0.0000033 as of April 2, 85% below its all-time high. The token that once reached $11 billion on viral momentum now sits at a fraction of that valuation with zero products behind it. The source notes that PEPE proved community momentum can create billions, but tokens without products bleed value when initial excitement fades.
The cofounder who built PEPE took that lesson and returned with three exchange products, a SolidProof audit, and a presale at six zeros. Early Pepe investors who watched it climb to $11 billion are now inside Pepeto, compounding at 189% APY while others study PEPE charts hoping for a repeat that no products exist to sustain.
The source emphasizes that hesitation is irrational in presale mechanics: every day delayed brings higher prices, narrower yield windows, and yields earned by others that are permanently forfeited. The Treasury's first rule under the GENIUS Act confirms stablecoin regulation is operational, not theoretical. Bitcoin Hyper has $31M raised and no confirmed launch; Pepeto has $8.69M, a SolidProof audit, approaching launch infrastructure, and a strengthening regulatory environment. The 189% APY compounds elsewhere—every hour of waiting hands yield to someone else.
