Will ETH pump to $10k as confidence grows?

Whale buys 48,825 ETH for $127m during dip, boosting investor confidence as Ethereum eyes breakout at $2,700.

Ethereum is currently trading near $2,547, and investors are getting bullish. A major whale just bought 48,825 ETH, worth $127 million, at an average of $2,605. This massive buy came during a brief dip, showing strong confidence in Ethereum’s long-term future.

This isn’t their first smart move. The same investor reportedly earned $30 million on previous ETH trades. Market volatility caused by global unrest and the expiry of over 242,000 ETH options shook prices, but this whale’s buy helped bring confidence back. With the put-call ratio now at 1.20 and the pain point at $2,700, Ethereum could be setting up for a strong breakout.

ETH price levels: Can $10k be reached?

Crypto analysts like Ted Pillows and MerlijnTrader are calling for an Ethereum surge to $10,000 or even $11,000. Ted points to four consecutive green candles on ETH’s two-week chart, mirroring Bitcoin’s behavior after the 2020 crash. He believes Ethereum could follow the same explosive path BTC took during the 2020–2021 bull cycle.

MerlijnTrader agrees, noting Ethereum is still undervalued and remains one of the best buys for those who missed Bitcoin’s rise. Right now, Ethereum trades between $2,400 and $2,750, but many believe the real breakout is just ahead.

Bridge tech in DeFi: Real use, not just talk

Blockchain bridges make crypto more connected. They let users move tokens across blockchains, like shifting ETH to BTC chains, without friction.

Bridge highlights: 

• Easy token swaps between Ethereum, BNB, Solana, and more
• Choose centralized or decentralized bridges
• Opens access to multiple networks

This is where Pepeto shines. While Ethereum sets the standard, Pepeto builds the next layer using bridge tech to run a zero-fee, multi-chain exchange.

Pepeto exchange launch + staking up to 278% 

Momentum is building fast around Pepeto. A demo of the Pepeto Exchange goes live in just two days, showing the real product before any major listing. 

What Pepeto brings: 

• Memecoins are listed with zero fees on pepeto.io.
• Cross-chain bridge connecting Ethereum, BNB, and Solana.
• Staking rewards reaching up to 278% APY.

Behind the scenes? Rumors swirl that a Pepe co-founder, allegedly ousted before Pepe’s rise, is now behind Pepeto, adding the missing T (Technology) and O (Optimization) to the frog coin legacy.

Elon Musk has even stirred buzz by using frog imagery on his X profile, boosting attention toward frog-themed tokens for the second time.
