Crypto Market News: Bitcoin Fork Collapses as Pepeto Presale Loads $10.9M Before Anticipated Binance Listing

The biggest crypto market news this week is not about price. Bitcoin's BLAKE2b hard fork launched on September 1, the developer behind it quit his own mining pool, called the main Bitcoin chain "Spamcoin," and walked away with zero exchange support for the breakaway chain. Network fractures like this one do not just make headlines. They remind every wallet in the market that the infrastructure underneath a position matters more than the chart above it.

While that debate tore through Bitcoin's developer community, Pepeto (

) quietly crossed $10.9 million in presale capital, building the kind of infrastructure that does not fracture, with a SolidProof audit, a fixed supply, and tools built to protect every trade.

Bitcoin BLAKE2b Fork Launches With Zero Exchange Support

Developer Luke Dashjr resigned as chairman and CTO of Bitcoin mining pool OCEAN on August 30 and branded the main Bitcoin chain "Spamcoin" on X, as BeInCrypto reported. His BLAKE2b fork, which makes every existing mining machine incompatible with the new chain, launched September 1 with no major exchange, wallet, or Lightning provider publicly committed to support it.
