Crypto.com says global stablecoin transaction volume climbed past $34 trillion in 2025, exceeding the combined volume of Visa and Mastercard. The source frames that number as evidence that crypto infrastructure is no longer just chasing traditional payment rails on scale.
$34 trillion becomes the article’s central proof point
The report also cites Pantera Capital’s view that 2026 will be shaped by real compliance and institutional capital. In that setup, stablecoins processing more value than Visa and Mastercard is used to argue that on-chain payment systems have reached a new threshold. The article extends that claim to listed tokens, saying projects with confirmed exchange access stand to benefit as capital moves through these rails.
Pepeto is presented as the cycle’s “second chance” trade
Most of the piece is focused on Pepeto. It describes the token as a possible “next Shiba Inu” and says a Binance listing is confirmed and drawing closer. The article states that the platform’s products were engineered by the “original Pepe inventor,” while the exchange architecture was built by a developer with Binance experience. It also says the codebase received a clean result from an independent SolidProof audit.
On utility, the article points to two products already tied to the project: a cross-chain bridge for moving tokens across multiple networks and a token evaluation tool designed to flag contract risks before users commit capital. According to the source, both are already handling real transactions on a live exchange.
Presale inflows, staking yield and token supply are highlighted
The source says Pepeto has attracted more than $8.69 million at a presale price of $0.000000186. It also advertises 189% annual yield for staked positions locked before listing. The article adds that analysts see a potential 100x return after Binance trading opens, though that figure is presented as expectation rather than realized performance.
The piece also mentions a total supply of 420 trillion tokens, linking that scale to the kind of upside commonly used in meme-token narratives.
BTC and XRP appear as comparison assets
Using CoinMarketCap data, the article says BTC traded near $68,323 on April 1, down 46% from a high of $126,210. A move back to $100,000 would represent roughly 46% upside from that level. It also says ETF demand strengthened at the end of March, ending a five-month losing streak.
For XRP, the source says the token traded at $1.34 on April 1, down 63% from its cycle high of $3.65. It also states that seven spot ETFs now hold more than $1.39 billion. A recovery to $3.65 would imply about 172% upside.
The article’s message is straightforward: record stablecoin volume is used to support a broader claim that crypto rails have reached meaningful scale, while Pepeto is positioned as a presale token trying to capture that attention through listing expectations, staking incentives and exchange-related utility. The source itself does not provide independent on-chain verification for those promotional claims.
