Bybit announced the launch of a neobank, signaling that major crypto exchanges are extending their reach into traditional banking services. This development underscores a broader industry trend toward integrating crypto rails with regulated financial infrastructure to handle higher transaction volumes.
Pepeto is positioned as a core beneficiary of this shift, building exchange-grade infrastructure required by neobanks and institutional platforms. Its presale has raised about $7.4 million, and the team highlights confirmed audits and a high-yield staking program, including a 209% APY compounded for early holders.
DeepSnitch AI positions itself as an analytics platform without confirmed exchange products, challenging the value proposition of analytics alone in a market where operational infrastructure matters. Without exchange-ready products, it competes in a narrower vertical against incumbents with larger datasets.
Bitcoin Hyper markets a Layer 2 solution leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine to speed up Bitcoin transactions, but faces stiff competition from established Layer 2 networks. With a publicized raise in the tens of millions, the window for early investors has closed, and the market now emphasizes infrastructure capabilities at presale pricing.
Overall, the neobank push reflects the industry’s expectation that crypto must connect with traditional finance to scale institutional adoption. Pepeto’s near-term listing and associated 267x upside potential highlight investor appetite for exchange-grade ecosystems that unite crypto with regulated capital.
