DOGE trades at $0.081 as techbullion highlights Pepeto presale
Dogecoin (DOGE)

Techbullion reports that while Bitcoin ETFs recorded their strongest month of 2026 with over $3 billion in August inflows, capital is shifting toward lower-cap assets. The outlet identifies Pepeto as a key project, noting it has raised $10.9 million with tokens priced at $0.0000001892. The creator of the original Pepe coin is behind Pepeto, which features a zero-fee cross-chain swap engine and an AI risk scorer.
SolidProof has audited the contracts, and a former Binance expert contributes to the development team. The article contrasts this with Dogecoin, which trades at $0.081 with a $14.2 billion market cap and no supply cap. DOGE received digital commodity classification in March 2026, and the 21Shares TDOG ETF launched in January 2026.
Solana also saw strong performance with a 46% gain in August and $1.16 billion in ETF inflows. Despite these gains, the outlet argues that established tokens like DOGE and SOL have passed their ground floor entry points. Pepeto is positioned as the next crypto to explode, with an anticipated Binance listing driving early interest. The presale aims to capture traders looking for higher returns than multi-billion dollar valuations can currently offer.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for DOGE, measured when this story was written up on 2 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Dogecoin is trading at $0.08167 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 58.5%, indicating immediate short-term buying interest. However, this momentum fades over longer timeframes, with the 4-hour buy ratio at 49.9% and the 24-hour ratio dropping to 47.1%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at $315,280, but the 24-hour delta is negative at -$2,569,086, showing that net selling pressure has outweighed buying over the day. A negative Cumulative Volume Delta of -$2,101,971 confirms that sellers have been more aggressive than buyers in recent hours. This suggests that while there is brief buying activity, the overall trend for the day is bearish. The market is experiencing a shift from short-term optimism to sustained selling pressure.
The latest daily buy ratio of 37.6% sits at the 0th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.9% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Twenty-four hours later
What DOGE did over the 22 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for DOGE, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, Dogecoin experienced a 4.7% price decline with a total volume delta of -$5,469,059. The 7-day average buy ratio was 49.6%, which is slightly higher than the current 24-hour ratio of 47.1%. Trading volume was 0.84x the average, indicating lighter activity than usual. Only 4 of the past 7 days saw net buying, suggesting a predominantly selling week. This recent performance aligns with the broader weekly trend of negative volume delta and price decline, marking an unusual day of sustained selling pressure compared to the mixed activity of the previous week.
