Ethereum prices encounter EIP-8361 issuance proposal, Pepeto pre-sale triggers a listing boom
Investors tracking Ethereum prices are witnessing a currency caught between forces that should not coexist. Core developer Justin Drake has just proposed reducing the pledge yield to zero when the network participation rate exceeds 50%-a major supply-side adjustment that should have huge repercussions. However, prices have hardly moved. Throughout 2026, ETH has been repeatedly blocked at the same resistance level, while fundamentals continue to strengthen. This divergence is precisely the point where the most discerning capital stops waiting and watching.
Just as Ethereum prices strive to regain their moving average, those looking for earlier entry opportunities are quietly focusing on one name: Pepeto. This project, whose pre-sales volume has exceeded US$10.56 million, has become a place where wallets quietly gather. Supporting it is the upcoming coin rollout and a token economy model designed to reward early participants.
Ethereum prices meet with EIP-8361 release proposal, Pepeto pre-sales ignite a listing boom
According to CoinDesk, Justin Drake and other core developers submitted EIP-8361 proposal on August 4, proposing to reduce pledge yields to zero when network participation exceeds 50%, and halve them at current levels to about 1%. The proposal aims to address inflationary pressures that have dragged down ETH valuations throughout the cycle. BlackRock announced that its ETHA ETF will conduct a 1:3 reverse split in October to narrow the trading spread from 7 basis points to 2 basis points. At the same time, Bitcoin.com reported that despite US$265 million outflows from the Bitcoin ETF, the spot Ethereum ETF still recorded a net inflow of US$9 million on July 31. This divergence usually signals capital rotation, and the layout of institutions suggests that even if Ethereum prices refuse to cooperate, Smart Money still believes there is value here.
Pepeto pre-sales turn free flow into listing demand
Pepeto's core cross-chain bridge enables frictionless transfer of assets between different blockchains, completely eliminating fees that can eat up profits elsewhere. This free flow starts a virtuous cycle: costs disappear and transactions become more active; more transactions accumulate transaction volume; and transaction volume falling on a fixed total of 420 trillion tokens will only lead to one result: Demand continues to impact the indestructible ceiling. The zero-fee exchange engine exacerbates the same pressure, allowing any token to flow across the chain at zero cost, which means that each new wallet increases buying motivation rather than increasing resistance to sell. The genius who designed the original Pepe woven these mechanisms into superimposed effects. SolidProof audited each contract before the project was launched, and more than US$10.56 million in committed capital has been completed through Pepeto pre-sales. As the coin installation line approaches, these wallets are growing at an annualized rate of return of 166%. And that launch was the trigger that transformed today's admission into the kind of return that early ETH holders are still talking about.

ETH sticks to US$1900, but a market value of US$233 billion limits return space
Frustratingly, ETH got almost everything right. It traded around $1900 after a one-day gain of 2.12%;BitMine Immersion holds more than 5.6 million ETH units worth $10.4 billion, accounting for approximately 4.66% of global supply; the institutional belief behind it is real. However, the chart tells another story. Ethereum prices are down 62% from the all-time high of $4954 set in August 2025; prices have fallen below the 20-day exponential moving average ($1868) and are testing the 50-day EMA (about $1849), while the 100-day EMA ($1926) has suppressed all rallies several times this year. With a market value of $233 billion, ETH needs billions of dollars in new capital to achieve a meaningful rise, and a full 10% increase can only hit $2090. For such a mature currency, this is a good deal. But the question is whether this "nice" can be compared to the return that tokens with six zeroes can provide on their first day of listing?
Conclusion
The following is an honest interpretation of Ethereum prices. ETH is a great asset that will slowly climb to $2090, but the market value of $233 billion determines the inherent characteristics of large-cap stocks: slow movements and moderate returns. No one can achieve wealth freedom with a 10% increase. Those who have done this bought meme tokens before they went public. Now, they are repeating this process in Pepeto pre-sales: the investment has exceeded US$10.56 million, the contract has been audited by SolidProof, the pledge annualized yield is as high as 166%, the pricing is still six zeroes, and the currency is online soon. Imagine the listing day: trading pairs go online, the first K line is formed, and your entry price will either stay at the pre-sale price or will never be able to reach it. Every early ETH holder had a moment like this: a seemingly insignificant price, a window that seemed to be always open. But that window was not open forever. Not this time.

FAQs
What is the price outlook for Ethereum in August 2026?
Ethereum price outlook is advancing towards US$2090. The inflow of Ethereum ETF and the outflow of Bitcoin ETF provided support for this round.

Safe. Because SolidProof has audited the contract and the token supply is permanently fixed. Before going online, more than US$10 million in funds had entered.
