Analysts are turning their attention to a new memecoin priced below $0.005, with some suggesting it could outperform major cryptocurrencies like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and even outshine Solana (SOL) and Ripple (XRP). The token in question, known as Little Pepe (LILPEPE), has been drawing comparisons to the Shiba Inu phenomenon and is being positioned as a next-gen project built on Ethereum’s Layer 2 infrastructure. With a current presale price of just $0.0020, LILPEPE has already raised $21.6 million and attracted over 34,000 holders, with bullish forecasts suggesting it could reach $2.50 in the coming years [1].
The memecoin space has long been dominated by tokens with minimal utility but high community-driven value. Shiba Inu, which launched in 2021, saw its price peak at around $0.000088 in October of that year, creating overnight millionaires for many early adopters. While SHIB has since stabilized near $0.000012, it has not matched the same explosive growth. In contrast, LILPEPE is being marketed as a more scalable and utility-driven project, with a focus on fast transactions, low fees, and a secure blockchain foundation [1].
What sets Little Pepe apart from its predecessors is its infrastructure. Unlike many meme coins that serve only as social media jokes, LILPEPE is being developed as a full Layer 2 blockchain, aiming to provide a scalable and efficient platform for entertainment and decentralized applications. This technological underpinning gives it an edge over traditional memecoins and positions it as a more sustainable project in the long run. Additionally, the token has passed a Certik audit, boosting confidence among investors [1].
Presale momentum has been a key factor in LILPEPE’s rising profile. With over 238,000 giveaway entries and a growing community of 27,179 active members, the token has shown strong retail interest. The presale is structured in stages, with each phase increasing the price slightly, rewarding early investors and building anticipation for the token’s listing on major exchanges. Stage 11 currently sits at $0.0020, with stage 12 expected to raise the price to $0.0021 [1].
Bullish predictions for LILPEPE are driven by its potential to ride the Ethereum Layer 2 wave, which is expected to grow significantly in 2025. Analysts note that if LILPEPE captures the same level of viral attention that Shiba Inu did, its unique token economics and scalable infrastructure could lead to substantial gains. Some experts predict a rise to $2.50, a price point that would far outpace SHIB’s historical performance [1].
Meanwhile, other projects like Layer Brett (LBRETT), another memecoin priced at $0.005 in its early phase, are also gaining traction. It has raised over $1.4 million in its presale and is being marketed with staking rewards as high as 1,900%. Analysts and AI models suggest that LBRETT could surpass Solana and Ripple in terms of growth potential, given its fast, low-cost Layer 2 blockchain and gamified features such as NFT integrations [2].
While forecasts for LBRETT reaching a 100x return remain speculative, its presale success and community engagement signal strong market confidence. This is particularly relevant in a market where many established cryptocurrencies like Cardano (ADA) and Dogecoin (DOGE) have shown signs of stalling, leading investors to shift their attention to higher-growth alternatives [5].
In summary, LILPEPE and LBRETT are being positioned as the next big names in the memecoin space, combining meme-driven hype with technical innovation. As the market continues to evolve, these tokens highlight a growing trend where community and utility are both key components of a project’s success.
