Anyone checking the Ethereum price today sees a coin stuck in place, at $2,506 and up just 0.54% on the day, per Blockchain.News. It is also down 6.8% on the week.
Yet under that dull chart, something big happened. Glamsterdam went live on a test chain on October 6, and within 11 hours the gas limit started climbing toward 200 million. Big upgrades often land on quiet charts, and the crowd notices later.
The headlines belong to ETH, but the money is often made one step earlier. Pepeto, a meme coin presale, has already raised over $11.2 million chasing the same goal as Glamsterdam: cheaper trades.
The test showed each Ethereum block can now hold 3.3 times more, KuCoin News reported on October 8. Glamsterdam went live on the Sepolia test chain on October 6, and the gas limit then climbed from 60 million toward 200 million. The first blocks under the new rules settled with no trouble, per The Cryptonomist.
The next stop is the Hoodi test network around October 27, with the main network targeted for late 2026. More room per block means cheaper trades for everyone on Ethereum. That raises one simple question for every trader: who is already offering trades with no fee at all?
Glamsterdam is a reminder that every trader feels fees, and cheaper trades always pull people in. That same idea sits at the heart of Pepeto, and it explains why buyers keep piling into its presale.
Most new coins follow one script. Buyers fund a plan, then wait months and hope the promised product shows up. Pepeto flipped that script and built the product first.
PepetoSwap, its exchange, is already live, and the goal is simple: keep more of every trade in your pocket. A $1,000 swap costs $3 on Uniswap and $2.50 on PancakeSwap, but $0 on PepetoSwap, where you pay network gas only. Run 200 trades of $5,000 and that is $3,000 in fees on Uniswap, against nothing here.
It also handles the trades people actually make, with market, limit, and DCA orders. A private relay shields each order from front running bots by default, and your coins never leave your control. Tests have already run it at $50 million of daily volume. Picture a busy exchange that simply forgot to send you a bill.
That edge gets sharper as Ethereum grows. A 3.3x jump in block room means more trades, and fees pile up faster for anyone still paying them. Glamsterdam may trim what the network charges, but PepetoSwap already took its own swap fee to zero.
Safety is the other reason buyers keep adding. SolidProof audited the contract and completed KYC on the team, which removes the risk that sinks most presales: a broken or hidden contract. With that worry gone, the only real question left is how much to own before the listing.
The presale price is $0.0000001897 today, and it climbs at every new stage. For anyone watching Ethereum crawl, this is the lowest price Pepeto will offer from here on.
ETH can reach $2,950 this month if it breaks $2,800, though the weaker case sees a dip to $2,300 first. Ether trades at $2,506, right on its daily pivot and below its 7, 20, and 50 day averages, per Blockchain.News. The same report notes FXEmpire still sees a chance of $2,300 soon.
The bright side is clear too. CoinDCX sets its October target at $2,950, inside a $2,655 to $3,100 range, if ETH clears $2,800. Analyst Ted Pillows adds that a weekly close above $2,800 could open $3,400 to $3,500, per CoinCentral.
A move to $2,950 would be about 18%. That is a solid gain, and the kind a giant coin has to fight hard for.
Plenty of buyers keep waiting on the Ethereum price, hoping Glamsterdam brings steady gains once the market wakes up. The upgrade is real, but an 18% climb is the target most analysts see this month. Sharp buyers want the coin that already works and has not been found yet.
Pepeto fits that profile. In 2023, Pepe climbed from almost nothing, and its first buyers made the biggest returns of their lives. Pepeto has the same cofounder, a live zero fee exchange, and over $11.2 million raised. This time, the proof shows up before the price does.
Presale prices still hold today, and whoever buys before the listing gets the same head start that Pepe's first buyers turned into fortunes.
Head to the Pepeto presale and join before the next stage sells out.
The Ethereum price hinges on $2,800, since a break there opens $2,950 this month, per CoinDCX. Losing support could pull ETH toward $2,300 first, per FXEmpire.
Pepeto's live exchange already cuts trading fees to zero before listing, so buyers get the product and the presale price together. Once the market notices, that cheap entry is gone.
