Every crypto bull run starts with a few coins that move before anyone calls it. This week, Pyth jumped 14.2% in a day after its DAO voted to put its whole revenue share into buybacks, per crypto.news.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, still sits about 34% under its $126,198.07 peak, per CoinMarketCap. Earlier runs often started the same way, with single coins waking up while Bitcoin stayed quiet.
Pyth rallied because it handed value back to holders. A smaller project does something similar for traders. Pepeto, a meme coin presale whose exchange charges no swap fee, has already raised over $11.1 million.
Pyth jumped because its holders voted to buy the token back. On October 8, the Pyth DAO approved a rule sending all of its revenue share into buying PYTH on the open market.
The next day, PYTH was up 14.2% at $0.08605, with trading volume up about 287%, crypto.news reported on October 9. Crypto Economy put the two day gain near 16%.
The business behind it is growing, too. Pyth's yearly revenue reached $11.5 million in September, up 86% in three months. Income flowing back to holders, and a price reacting within a day, is the kind of signal bull runs are built on.
Pyth's holders win when fees flow back to them. Pepeto traders win in a simpler way: the exchange never takes a fee to begin with.

That matters most when markets heat up. In a busy run, people trade more often, and every swap usually carries a cut.
On Uniswap, a $5,000 trade costs $15 in fees. Do that 200 times and you've paid $3,000. On PepetoSwap, the same 200 trades cost $0 plus network gas, so the $3,000 stays in your account.
PepetoSwap is live today with market, limit and DCA orders. A private relay hides your trades from bots by default, and a security scanner checks each token before you swap.
Since the exchange works before listing, buyers can try it now instead of trusting a roadmap. SolidProof audited the code and verified the team, which removes two of the biggest presale risks.
Analysts project 100x once Pepeto lists. At $0.00000019, $500 buys about 2.63 billion Pepeto, and at 100x that stake would be worth $50,000.
Size explains why a move like that is even on the table. Bitcoin is already worth $1.67 trillion, so a 100x would need over $160 trillion of new money. Pepeto starts from a tiny base, where far less money moves the price.
Each new stage costs more, and a stage can close early once its target is hit. The same $500 buys fewer tokens at every step.
Bitcoin is still the safest name in any bull run, and it showed that again this week. It trades near $83,190 on CoinMarketCap, about 34% below its peak from October 6, 2025.
On October 13 it dropped just under $81,000, then climbed back above $83,000 while Korean stocks fell more than 6%, CoinDesk reported. Crispus Nyaga at DailyForex sets a take profit target at $87,200.
Still, a return to its record needs a 52% climb. Bitcoin is a safe hold, but it's no longer an early one.
XRP traders are waking up. Futures trading in XRP reached its busiest level in eight months, crypto.news found on October 13.
XRP sits at $1.36, per CoinMarketCap, about 65% below its $3.84 peak from January 2018. The same piece marks support at $1.30 and resistance at $1.45 to $1.50, with one analyst eyeing $1.70.
XRP can climb from here. But it needs to nearly triple just to see 2018 again, and that's a long road for a coin this big.
Signs of a crypto bull run keep stacking up, from Pyth's buyback jump to Bitcoin's bounce above $83,000. Still, Bitcoin and XRP need big money and plenty of time just to double.
Pepeto works from a much smaller base. Its exchange already runs with no swap fee, its code is audited, and over $11.1 million is behind it. Yet the price is still at presale level.
Pyth showed how quickly a price jumps once the market notices. Buying today's stage on the Pepeto official website means holding before that moment comes for Pepeto, not paying up after it.

Signs of a crypto bull run include Pyth's 14.2% jump on its buyback rule and Bitcoin's bounce back above $83,000 on October 13.
Pepeto belongs there because $500 at today's stage buys 2.63 billion tokens, worth $50,000 if the projected 100x lands. Each stage costs more on the Pepeto official website.
