PANews reported on February 9th that, according to South Korean media SBS, 125 bitcoins (worth approximately 13 billion won, or $8.88 million) remain unrecovered after a large-scale erroneous transfer of bitcoins by the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb. An investigation has confirmed that over 80 users have already converted the mistakenly received bitcoins into cash. Of this, approximately 3 billion won was transferred to personal bank accounts, and another 10 billion won was used by users to purchase other cryptocurrencies. Bithumb is contacting the affected users to persuade them to return the proceeds.

Previously, it was reported that Bithumb made an operational error during the distribution of event rewards, resulting in the wrong distribution of a total of 620,000 bitcoins, of which 99.7% has been recovered.

The post Pepeto vs Blockdag Vs Layer Brett Vs Remittix and Little Pepe appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 05:39 Hunting the best crypto investment in 2025? Presales can flip a portfolio fast and sometimes change a life overnight when you choose well, which is why we start with receipts instead of slogans and cut straight to what’s live, audited, and usable today, not vague aspirations likely to drift as cycles turn and narratives fade for months. In this head-to-head we put Pepeto (PEPETO) up against Blockdag, Layer Brett, Remittix, and Little Pepe using simple yardsticks, team intent and delivery, on-chain proofs, tokenomics clarity, DEX and bridge readiness, PayFi rails, staking, and listing prep, so you can act on facts, not hype, and decide confidently before the next leg higher catches you watching from the sidelines. Pepeto’s Utility Play: Zero-Fee DEX, Bridge, And StrongPotential Pepeto treats the meme coin playbook like a platform brief, not a joke.

A hard-capped design anchors PepetoSwap, a zero-fee exchange where every trade routes through PEPETO for built-in usage instead of buzz. Already 850+ projects have applied to list, fertile ground for volume if listings follow. A built-in cross-chain bridge adds smart routing to unify liquidity, cut extra hops, and reduce slippage, turning activity into steady token demand because every swap touches PEPETO. Pepeto is audited by independent experts Solidproof and Coinsult, a trust marker reflected in more than $6,7 Million already raised in presale. Early momentum is visible. The presale puts early buyers at the front of the line with staking and stage-based price increases, and that line is getting long.
