Bonk (BONK) and Dogecoin (DOGE) Lose momentum against Ethereum layer 2 meme coin Little Pepe (LILPEPE)
Ethereum's meme coin resurgence is gaining undeniable momentum, and two stars stand out: Bonk (BONK) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are now feeling the pressure from a rising Layer‑2 powerhouse—Little Pepe (LILPEPE). According to recent web and on‑chain data, LILPEPE is pulling ahead, while DOGE and BONK lag in the meme coin race. LILPEPE Outpaces DOGE and BONK in 2025 Little Pepe isn't just another meme coin—it's building the first dedicated Layer‑2 blockchain for meme tokens, complete with sniper‑bot resistance, ultra‑low fees, and a built‑in Meme Launchpad. As of July, its presale has raised past $5.2 million, entering stage 5 at $0.0014. That's a 40% rise from stage 4, which closed recently—a strong sign of investor appetite. By contrast, Dogecoin, while still iconic, has seen muted growth since its 2021 high. With prices ranging from $0.17 to $0.20, it hasn't captured recent meme coin excitement. Similarly, Bonk, Solana's meme coin pioneer, has plateaued since its surge in early 2024. Without strong ecosystem upgrades, BONK lacks the velocity to compete with LILPEPE's evolving framework. Tech and Infrastructure Give LILPEPE the Edge Unlike many meme tokens that rely solely on virality, LILPEPE is building real infrastructure. The team is launching a dedicated Layer 2 blockchain tailored for meme coins, complete with sniper bot resistance, ultra-fast transactions, and a Meme Launchpad that enables users to deploy their tokens easily. This makes LILPEPE the first meme coin ecosystem explicitly built for meme coins, and investors are taking note. In a crowded meme space, LILPEPE is transitioning from a coin to a platform, offering real utility through seamless token launches and fair trading environments. As on-chain sophistication and smart money gravitate toward utility, this roadmap becomes increasingly compelling. Momentum Amplified by Listings and Giveaways Investors expect LILPEPE to list soon on two Tier‑1 centralized exchanges, with rumors suggesting a third major listing may follow later. Coupled with a $777K giveaway—where 10 participants win $77K each—the marketing push has been relentless. This campaign aligns with the presale's explosive uptake: Stage 4 was completed rapidly, Stage 5 is selling rapidly, and listing-day gains are already factored into projections. On‑Chain Shifts Signal Changing Favorites On‑chain and sentiment data reveal the changing tide. Shiba Inu exhibits declining accumulation and bearish technical indicators. Bonk is demonstrating signs of trend exhaustion. Meanwhile, LILPEPE traffic, presale activity, and social growth are surging—a classic setup preceding meme coin mania. Meme coins on platforms like CoinMarketCap, where LILPEPE is now listed, are receiving increased visibility. Seasoned traders note that presale buy-ins from sub-$0.0015 dramatically outperform pump zones later, especially with strong infrastructure backing. Can DOGE and BONK Recover? Both Dogecoin and Bonk enjoy strong recognition and occasional virality. DOGE gains the most from infrequent attention from Elon Musk whereas BONK benefits from Solana's active ecosystem. But without compelling tech or new integrations, onboarding and buyer enthusiasm remain unimpressive. They remain viable as alternative investment plays—but with meme season mounting, they may become spectators while LILPEPE steals the show. With investor capital and talent migrating toward platforms that offer utility, adaptability, and community building, DOGE and BONK risk being left behind this cycle. Final Thoughts: LILPEPE Ascendant as Meme Coin Season Returns The message from both data and sentiment is clear: meme coin season is returning—and Little Pepe is sprinting ahead of the herd. Layer-2 innovation, zero-tax structure, built-in Launchpad, massive presale funding, and real behind-the-scenes strategy—in a token under $0.002—are hard to ignore. Meanwhile, Dogecoin and Bonk face structural inertia. Their legacy crowns are no longer enough to offset the lack of upgrades or new utility. In 2025's meme market, fun is still the fuel, but tools and tech are steering the rocket. And with LILPEPE charging forward, this cycle's meme MVP may already have been chosen.

Seven meme coins to explore before the coming bull run
Advertorial Spotlight Wire Meme coins are back in headlines—and it's bigger, louder, and more promising than ever. As people head deeper into 2025, it's becoming increasingly clear that meme coins are once again commanding serious investor attention. While the big names such as DOGE and SHIB may no longer have the explosive upside they once offered, a new generation of meme tokens is rising fast. Analysts and savvy retail investors are now closely watching a select group of meme coins that are still priced low, yet have the viral appeal and market setup to deliver more before the next bull market peak. Here are seven coins to check out: Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The meme coin revolution is here Among all meme coins in the market today, none are generating more excitement than Little Pepe (LILPEPE). This Ethereum-based meme coin has taken the industry by storm, thanks to its clever branding, forward-thinking roadmap, and relentless presale momentum. Currently in stage 5 of its presale and priced at just $0.0014, LILPEPE has already raised over $5.16 million and sold more than 4.2 billion tokens. But what sets it apart is the real innovation behind the meme. LILPEPE is launching its own Layer-2 blockchain explicitly built for meme coins, featuring blazing speed, sniper bot resistance, and a meme-friendly Launchpad for new token creation. It's rare to see a meme coin combine strong fundamentals with viral potential, but LILPEPE is doing precisely that. Bonk (BONK): The Solana meme surge Bonk, Solana's top meme coin, has 660,000 holders and a $3.19 billion market cap. At $0.00004026, analysts forecast a 2,500% surge to $0.001 by Q4, driven by a 1.69 trillion token burn and Solana's 66.9 million daily transactions. A $1,000 investment buys 24.8 million BONK, potentially worth $25,000 at $0.001. A relative strength index (RSI) of 31.94 and a double-bottom pattern signal a rebound, with whale buys (5 billion BONK moved) adding fuel. BonkSwap and BonkBot enhance utility, outpacing DOGE's tipping model. Pudgy Penguins (PENGU): From NFTs to meme token powerhouse Pudgy Penguins, at $0.0095 with a $598.8 million market cap, are tied to 8,888 Ethereum-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Its Pudgy World launch on zkSync, blending toys and on-chain assets, drives mainstream appeal. Analysts expect $0.10 by Q4, representing a 952% gain, as NFT interest surges. PENGU's merchandise and licensing deals expand its reach, offering more than BONK's pure meme play. Its low price and cultural pull make it a 2025 breakout candidate, with NFT utility fuelling long-term value. Pengu is still flying under the radar price-wise, which is exactly what early investors want to see. Dogwifhat (WIF): A meme that became a movement Dogwifhat, at $0.85 with a $855 million market cap, is a Solana meme coin with a dog-in-a-hat vibe. Analysts predict $2 by Q4, a 135% gain, driven by Solana's decentralised finance (DeFi) growth and viral marketing. WIF's 998 million token supply and NFT integrations add staying power. Its community and Solana's speed make it a top hold for 2025's bull run. As one of the top trending meme coins on X for months, WIF is already seeing strong trading volumes and exchange exposure. With fresh listings, growing utility in NFTs and merch, and no shortage of viral memes, WIF still has massive upside potential left. POPCAT: Built from viral internet fame Popcat, at $0.3 with a $297 million market cap, is a Solana-based meme coin with a cat-themed viral spark. Analysts predict $1 by Q4, a 233% increase, driven by social media hype and Solana's ecosystem. Its 50 billion token supply and community-driven airdrops echo SHIB's early days. POPCAT's low price and meme appeal make it a breakout candidate for 2025. With plans for NFT collections, meme wars, community competitions, and cross-chain visibility, POPCAT is targeting the heart of internet culture. Its explosive entry into the scene has already caught the attention of degens and influencers alike. If its team can maintain the momentum and push through meaningful partnerships or listings, POPCAT could become the next big surprise in the meme coin world. Hippo (HIPPO): Meme Coin With Major Jungle Vibes HIPPO is one of the newest entrants on the scene, but it's gaining ground fast. Its quirky jungle theme and community vibe make it one of the more entertaining meme coins of 2025. And in a space driven by fun, relatability, and shareability, HIPPO checks all the boxes. Still in its early stages, HIPPO's current price offers huge upside. It's the kind of coin that could benefit massively from a meme-fueled surge across social media, especially if paired with meme collaborations or viral challenges. With the meme coin market expanding again, HIPPO's low market cap, energetic community, and fun visuals make it a dark horse to watch closely. Wen (WEN): Riding the irony wave straight to the moon No meme coin list is complete without one that embraces irony, and WEN does it flawlessly. Playing off the infamous crypto meme question 'wen moon?', WEN turns the joke into a real asset. It's pure meme energy distilled into a token. Built with the sole purpose of being funny, WEN has become a cult favourite on Twitter and Reddit. But its simplicity is its strength. The coin thrives on low expectations and high engagement. The crypto market is once again showcasing that meme coins are not a passing trend—they're a phenomenon. What started with DOGE and evolved with SHIB has now given rise to an entirely new generation of high-potential meme tokens that blend humour, community, branding, and blockchain innovation. From utility-backed ecosystems such as Little Pepe (LILPEPE) to social media-driven entities such as WIF, BONK, and PENGU, the stage is set for a meme coin sprint.

4 Tokens disrupting the meme coin market this July: Bonk (BONK) and more to watch in 2025
July 2025 has seen a major shift in the meme coin sector, with several tokens making disruptive moves. Bonk (BONK), Shiba Inu, and Dogecoin are gaining renewed attention due to ecosystem upgrades, community support, and improved market performance. However, one new entrant, Little Pepe ($LILPEPE), is drawing the spotlight with real blockchain utility behind its meme-based branding. With technical innovations and a strong roadmap, it positions itself as more than a trend. Among the four, Little Pepe has emerged as the strongest pick for long-term viability. 1. Bonk (BONK) Bonk has maintained momentum after its December 2023 rally, becoming Solana's flagship meme token. It remains integrated into various Solana-based dApps, improving its real-world use. The token has benefited from Solana's growth in both speed and developer activity. Bonk continues to ride on community strength and expanding listings. Its performance in July 2025 shows consistent trading volume across top-tier exchanges. Developers are focusing on DeFi tie-ins for further BONK utility. 2. Shiba Inu (SHIB) Shiba Inu remains a top meme coin in 2025, with its ecosystem developments like Shibarium, ShibaSwap, and the Shiba Inu burn mechanism. Its Layer 2 upgrade has allowed faster transactions and lower gas fees. SHIB's development team is investing heavily in staking and DeFi protocols. NFT integration and community events keep its audience engaged. The token has sustained a loyal base, driving consistent liquidity. SHIB's continued roadmap delivery gives it a place among the top disruptors this July. 3. Dogecoin (DOGE) Dogecoin continues to lead the meme coin sector by market cap and adoption and the ongoing July 2025 rally places DOGE in a position to make substantial gains. Its increased use in online payments and tipping boosts relevance. Developers are exploring smart contract support for future versions. Elon Musk's indirect mentions still influence price movements. In addition to being a veteran in the space, DOGE remains influential in meme crypto trends. 4. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Could This Be the Meme Coin With Real Utility That Others Lack? Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) enters the scene with a technical foundation not seen in most meme tokens. It is built on an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 blockchain, unlike major meme coins, it offers ultra-low fees, fast speeds, and sniper bot protection. Unlike others, Little Pepe has introduced zero tax on trading, staking rewards, and DAO governance from launch. A meme launchpad has also been included to incubate new projects directly in the ecosystem. The total supply of the project is 100,000,000,000 tokens, of which 26.5% are set at the presale. The presale, as of present, has raised $5,093,021, in the amount of its goal of $6,575,000. In stage 5, 4,191,443,736 tokens have already been sold at the price of $0.0014. The next stage 6 will increase the price of the tokens to $0.0015, whereas the previous stages were sold out with prices of $0.001, $0.0011, $0.0012, and $0.0013 respectively. The next steps of Little Pepe are cross-chain capabilities, the incorporation of NFTs and elaboration of DAO. Chain reserves have reached 30 billion tokens, and there is 13.5 billion tokens dedicated to staking and platform also includes a 10 billion token reserve for centralized exchange listings and 10 billion for liquidity. There is no buy or sell tax, making it efficient for trading. To mark its launch, Little Pepe has initiated a $777,000 giveaway. Ten participants will each receive $77,000 in $LILPEPE tokens, who can enter by contributing a minimum of $100 to the presale as the giveaway is only available during the presale period. Conclusion Little Pepe is more of a utility token rather than a meme coin, having serious Layer 2 potential. The project is a combination of zero-tax trading, protection against sniper bots, DAO voting, and staking which is frequently lacking in early meme coins. The long-term ecosystem is already being set in motion with NFTs and cross-chain compatibility on the agenda. Since Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have already presented vast profits in past cycles, Little Pepe joins the show with the infrastructure that may sustain the next meme rally.

Crypto exchanges rushed to list Trump's coin
NEW YORK: Crypto exchange Coinbase assures users on its website that it puts any new digital coin through 'rigorous' vetting before allowing it to trade. It's an at-times lengthy process meant to protect customers by examining the people connected to the project and the risk of market manipulation or other scams. With President Donald Trump's crypto token, $TRUMP, Coinbase made up its mind in just one day. The $TRUMP token, which launched three days before his inauguration in January, is a meme coin. Based on cultural fads or celebrities, these coins have no intrinsic value and – past experience has shown – are prone to large price swings that can leave investors with losses. A Reuters analysis of crypto market data and industry announcements found that, compared to other recent large meme coins, the biggest crypto exchanges took Trump's to market with unusual speed, despite stating they vet risky coins thoroughly to protect small investors. Some also approved the listing in spite of the high share of coins concentrated in the hands of Trump and his partners, which would normally represent a red flag because of the risk that dumping of tokens by insiders could collapse the price and hurt other investors, some executives said. After reaching an all-time high of $75.35 on April 19, just two days after its launch, $TRUMP crashed to the $7 range by early April, leaving many holders nursing losses. It was trading around $9.55 Thursday. 'When the president of the United States launches a meme coin, I thought I might as well put some money inside,' said Carl 'Moon' Runefelt, a Dubai-based crypto investor who runs a bitcoin trading channel on YouTube called the 'Moon Show.' Runefelt said he bought $300,000 worth of the meme coin in tranches at between $50 and $60: 'It's probably one of my worst trades, unfortunately.' The Reuters analysis showed that eight of the 10 largest crypto exchanges by market share listed the coin within 48 hours of its release. The ninth, Coinbase, added $TRUMP to its listings roadmap on January 18 – indicating it had decided to accept it - and listed the coin three days later. The tenth, Upbit, listed $TRUMP on February 13. That was much faster than they've done on average with the biggest meme coins. Reuters examined how long it took the same 10 exchanges - Binance, Bitget, MEXC, OKX, Coinbase, Bybit, Upbit, and HTX - to list the four other largest meme coins launched since 2022. These, measured by market cap on May 29, are Pepe, Bonk, Fartcoin and dogwifhat. All 10 exchanges listed Pepe and Bonk. Nine listed dogwifhat, and seven listed Fartcoin. On average, the 10 exchanges took 129 days to list those coins. For $TRUMP, they took an average of four. Asked for comment about why they listed $TRUMP so quickly, Bitget, MEXC, OKX, Coinbase and Upbit all said they had not cut any corners with their vetting process. The other five exchanges did not respond to Reuters' questions. Three – Bitget, Coinbase, MEXC – said they moved fast to respond to overwhelming demand for the $TRUMP coin. 'The crypto space was buzzing with the hype and, as any other token with a growing craze, it was imperative to add TRUMP,' Gracy Chen, Bitget's CEO, said in a statement. Chen said the fact that Trump himself announced the coin on his social media accounts 'should kind of solve the compliance issue,' citing the fact that 'he's the president of the United States.' Reuters found no suggestion that Trump or anyone related to his businesses exerted pressure on the exchanges. In response to a request for comment, a White House press official told Reuters the president's assets had been placed in a family trust: 'There are no conflicts of interest because the president isn't managing the assets. Any insinuation that there is a conflict of interest is irresponsible.' The official referred specific questions about the meme coin to the Trump Organization, which did not respond to Reuters. Coinbase said the $TRUMP token got no special exceptions and the exchange followed its normal process when listing the coin. Paul Grewal, Coinbase's chief legal officer, said many people had to work over the weekend to get the listing done quickly, but no steps were skipped. 'Given the information that was shared publicly, we were confident that users could engage with the token positively and safely,' Grewal told Reuters. Coinbase listed $TRUMP as an 'experimental' token to indicate it comes with 'certain risks, including price swings,' according to the company's website. — Reuters
