Crypto Price Prediction: TD Cowen Lifts Bitcoin to $109K as Pepeto Targets 100x

On October 8, TD Cowen lifted its year-end 2026 Bitcoin target to about $109,000, up from a prior September estimate of $97,500, according to The Block and Crypto Briefing. Bitcoin was trading at $82,960 on CoinMarketCap at the time. The projected move implies roughly a 31% gain for 2026, while TD Cowen’s separate late-2029 goal of $280,000 suggests about 3.4x over three years. The article contrasts that slower “big banks” narrative with Pepeto, a presale coin running a zero-fee exchange already live, with $11.2 million raised and a PepetoSwap launch on the same day.
