Ethereum (ETH) appears to be echoing its 2021 momentum, as the token trades near $3,911, about 20% below its November 2021 peak of nearly $4,880. This resurgence has reignited optimism among investors who recall ETH’s more than 550% surge that year. Simultaneously, attention is shifting toward Little Pepe (LILPEPE), an Ethereum-based Layer-2 memecoin that has raised over $17 million during its presale and is currently in Stage 10. Analysts draw parallels between LILPEPE and Solana (SOL), which delivered a 12,000% return in 2021, suggesting that the project could follow a similar trajectory if market conditions align [1].
Ethereum’s potential for another rally is supported by several bullish factors. The approval of spot Ether ETFs in 2024 has attracted institutional capital, while DeFi remains dominant on the Ethereum network, and Layer-2 solutions are gaining traction by reducing costs and enhancing scalability. Some analysts predict ETH could reach $7,000–$8,000 by Q4 2025, with a potential for five-digit prices under favorable macroeconomic conditions [1].
LILPEPE is being positioned as more than a typical memecoin, with a focus on utility and infrastructure. The project, which is audited with an 81.55 score on Freshcoins.io and listed on CoinMarketCap, offers 0% transaction tax and has implemented a vesting schedule to support post-launch price stability. The token is currently priced at $0.0019 during its presale, with an expected listing price of $0.003, suggesting an immediate 58% gain for early buyers [1].
To generate further community engagement, the project is running a $777,000 giveaway, offering ten winners $77,000 in LILPEPE tokens. The campaign encourages presale participation and social media activity, reinforcing the project’s grassroots marketing strategy and viral appeal [1].
LILPEPE’s potential to mirror Solana’s 2021 surge lies in its EVM-compatible Layer-2 blockchain, which enables fast, secure, and low-cost transactions. The project also includes a launchpad called Pepe Pump Pad to incubate other meme tokens, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. Some analysts project that LILPEPE could experience a 12,000% rally post-launch under favorable market conditions [1].
With Ethereum positioned for a potential breakout and LILPEPE leveraging both the Layer-2 narrative and the memecoin phenomenon, the project could benefit from broader crypto momentum. As presale stages sell out rapidly, the opportunity for early participation is shrinking. Investors looking for exposure to Ethereum’s institutional adoption and the viral potential of memecoins are closely watching LILPEPE’s development [1].
