Token sales have become a venue where early-stage projects try to demonstrate progress beyond marketing. Pepeto reports raising more than $6.3 million and says it has launched features such as PepetoSwap and a staking program with advertised yields. Meanwhile, Blockchain FX says its multi-market trading app has more than 20,000 users testing a beta version and providing feedback.
Both projects describe ongoing development, while BlockDAG is also publicizing larger fundraising figures. The project claims $388 million raised and 25 billion BDAG coins sold, and it has promoted a Token2049-aligned marketing incentive described as a “2049% bonus.” Terms and eligibility for such incentives can vary, and details should be reviewed in the project’s own materials.
According to the project, the offering is in “Batch 30” at $0.03. The project has also published return figures for earlier batches; such figures are promotional, depend on assumptions about pricing and liquidity, and should not be treated as a guarantee of future performance.
BlockDAG references Token2049 in its marketing
Token2049 is a major industry event that draws companies, builders, investors and media. Projects often use the conference period to share announcements and marketing campaigns.
BlockDAG has linked its current campaign to Token2049, including a promotion it describes as a “2049% bonus.” The project presents this as part of its strategy to attract attention and participation during the event period.
In its public communications, BlockDAG highlights project-reported figures such as $388 million raised, 25 billion coins sold, and a $0.03 price in “Batch 30.” The project also references performance comparisons between earlier and later batches; these are not independently verified here and do not account for market risk, liquidity conditions, fees, or broader market context.
More broadly, tying a fundraising campaign to a high-profile conference can increase visibility, but it does not, by itself, establish product readiness, market demand, or future token performance.
Blockchain FX highlights product testing and token mechanics
Blockchain FX describes its token sale as product-led, pointing to an application that it says combines crypto, forex, commodities and futures in one interface. The project reports raising $6.1 million and having more than 6,000 holders. It also describes a current sale price of $0.021 and a stated target launch price of $0.05; targets are forward-looking statements and may not be realized.
The team also says the product has been tested by more than 20,000 beta users. In addition, Blockchain FX describes token mechanisms such as buybacks, staking rewards and automatic burns. As with any token design, the real-world impact of these mechanisms depends on implementation details, adoption, and market conditions.
For readers evaluating early-stage projects, reported user testing and a working beta can be relevant signals, but they do not remove execution risk or regulatory and market uncertainties.
Pepeto describes staking and swap development
Pepeto says it has raised $6.3 million so far. Built on Ethereum, the project describes PepetoSwap as a decentralized exchange with “zero fees,” and it also references a cross-chain bridge intended to support transfers across networks. These features and claims should be assessed against documentation and, where possible, independent verification.
Pepeto also advertises a staking program offering up to 245% APY, depending on terms such as lockups and reward schedules. Staking rates can change, may rely on token emissions, and involve risks including smart-contract vulnerabilities, liquidity constraints, and token price volatility.
The project says audits were completed by SolidProof and Coinsult, and it also cites a social following of more than 100,000 accounts. Audits can reduce certain technical risks but do not guarantee security or project outcomes.
Looking Ahead
Across these early-stage offerings, the key questions typically include what has been built, what remains on the roadmap, how token distribution and incentives work, and what risks apply to participation. Pepeto and Blockchain FX emphasize product features and reported activity, while BlockDAG emphasizes reported fundraising scale and a conference-timed marketing campaign.
Any fundraising figures, user counts, sale-batch pricing, bonuses and projected launch targets referenced above are based on project statements and marketing materials and may change.
Readers should review primary documentation, understand the token’s supply and distribution, and consider that early-stage tokens can be highly volatile and may be illiquid.
