Next 100x Crypto Picks: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Pepeto Rally Through the First Fed Rate Hike Since 2023

According to BlockchainReporter, Bitcoin climbed above $85,000 and Ethereum cleared $2,600 following the Federal Reserve's first interest rate hike since 2023. CoinMarketCap reported Bitcoin reached $85,206, pushing holders back into profit above the $80,451 average cost of company treasuries noted by Glassnode. Ethereum sat at $2,720 with a $320 billion market cap, supported by institutional holdings such as Bitmine's 5.96 million ETH. Meanwhile, presale crypto Pepeto features a live zero-fee exchange called PepetoSwap, a five-chain bridge, staking offering 162% APY, and a security scanner. Pepeto has raised over $11 million from more than 43,000 holders and is priced at $0.0000001896 in its current stage. The project highlights a live trading layer tested on $50 million of daily volume and approaches a Binance listing. While Bitcoin serves as a value store and Ethereum runs applications, Pepeto offers an early-stage presale alternative with working products. BlockchainReporter attributed these market movements to strong buyer demand absorbing the recent rate hike.
