Summary
BlackRock filed with the SEC on October 19, 2026 for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF, according to CoinDesk. The product would use options on IBIT, BlackRock's bitcoin fund, which holds more than $65 billion. Crypto Times reported that each round of the proposed fund would limit losses to roughly 10% while capping gains. The fund could begin trading about 75 days after filing.
The primary article is a promotional piece that uses the BlackRock filing to pitch Pepeto, a meme coin presale. It states that the presale has raised more than $11.2 million, that holders can stake tokens at a 160% APY rate that varies daily and is drawn from a reward pool, and that rewards are claimed at listing. The article also cites a SolidProof contract audit and a presale price of $0.0000001902. It projects a 200x multiple, but the article itself acknowledges that nothing is promised. These claims are presented by the publisher and have not been independently verified in the source material.
The article also covers two established tokens. Cardano's ADA traded at $0.2140 on CoinMarketCap, 92.77% below its $3.10 peak from September 2021. On October 20, the Cardano Foundation and five other networks asked the SEC to recognize their coins as digital commodities. Chainlink's LINK traded at $12, well below its $52.88 record from May 2021. On October 19, Archax, a UK firm regulated by the FCA, selected Chainlink price feeds for its tokenized Treasury product, according to 24/7 Wall St.
Readers should note that the article draws a comparison to Solana's 2020 auction price of $0.22 and its November 2021 high of $259.96, per The Block. That historical example does not bear on the current market. The article is an advertisement for Pepeto and includes a call to visit the presale website. Its recommendations should be assessed with caution, and it is not financial advice.
