Crypto Projects Ethereum trades around $3,100 with $374B, showing technical strength across multiple indicators. CoinMarketCap believes that ETH has increased adoption in Layer 2, continued use of the DeFi, and institutional investment with spot ETFs. XRP rallied to 2.25 and $136B (before dropping down to $2 level) due to institutional products and expansion of Ripple partnership. They both exhibit bullish momentum. But mathematical reality is cold-blooded. To provide 100x such as that received by ETH of $374B would need $37T. XRP achieving 100x needs $13.66T. Not in the long run but unrealistic in the short run 100x returns. Pepeto at $0.000000176 offers what ETH and XRP provided during their earliest phases. Superior mathematical probability combined with comprehensive infrastructure, the Pepeto giveaway, and optimal timing. Ethereum Strength and Limitations Ethereum around $3,100 demonstrates remarkable resilience. Arbitrum and Optimism are layer 2 solutions that can increase throughput and be secure. Billions in the total value locked, DeFi protocols keep innovating. The markets with NFTs have stabilized following the 2022 correction. Blockchain platforms are still the most active in terms of developer activity. The adoption at the institutions increases. Spot Ethereum ETFs bring traditional finance exposure. Major corporations explore blockchain integration using Ethereum infrastructure. The switch of proof-of-stake minimized energy issues as they allowed ESG-oriented institutional participation. These basics favor the appreciation persistence. Scenarios that are realistic in 2026 postulate that ETH will be in the range of $6K-$8K, which is about 2x-2.5x returns. That would be good performance of large capitals. However, out of $377.2B the 100x shift that would involve $37.7T goes beyond what is plausible. The explosive growth phases that created early Ethereum millionaires occurred at much smaller valuations. XRP Institutional Momentum The fact that XRP has travelled to $2.25 is a testament to institutional adoption. The new access channels were…
