Summary
Grayscale began accepting crypto, rather than only cash, for shares in 10 of its funds on October 21, according to reporting by Crypto Briefing and PANews. The funds include products for Solana, XRP, Chainlink, Sui and Dogecoin, along with a small Bitcoin fund. Crypto Briefing also reports that the in-kind share of bitcoin fund flows rose from 28% in March to 62% by June, a shift that points to growing use of direct coin contributions by institutional-style vehicles.
The article uses these developments as a backdrop to promote Pepeto, a meme coin in presale. Its central claims are that its security scanner is live, that it runs 42 code checks and a simulated buy and sell on every scan, and that it blocks trades on tokens with critical findings by default. The release also cites a SolidProof audit of Pepeto's code and team, a former Binance expert on the dev team, and a planned Binance listing. These claims are presented by the publisher and have not been independently confirmed in the source material.
The release also cites market figures for major tokens. Per the article, Solana trades at $108.11 on CoinMarketCap after Alpenglow, an upgrade that reduced settlement time from about 12.8 seconds to about 150 milliseconds according to The Block, and it sits 63.71% below its January 2025 high of $294.33. XRP trades at $1.38 and sits 66.24% below its $3.84 peak. The article also reports that the 90-day average of XRP leaving Binance fell to $49.7 million, about 98.6% below February 2025 levels, citing crypto.news from October 20.
The article's conclusion asserts that Pepeto's presale stages will raise the token price and that analysts project 100x returns following the listing. It also contains a direct call to action to visit the presale site. The piece is distributed through openPR as a press release from Pepeto, and its disclaimer states that cryptocurrency investments carry substantial risk of loss. Its price projections and returns claims should be treated as promotional rather than as analysis.
