Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has been one of the hottest stories lately, while established tokens Ripple (XRP) and Solana (SOL) are also showing renewed strength. All three combine near-term price momentum with longer-term catalysts. For example, data show XRP’s trading volume and on-chain metrics ticked up in August, SOL’s network activity and TVL are surging, and Little Pepe’s presale is drawing millions. We highlight each project’s recent trends and fundamentals in the sections below.
Little Pepe (LILPEPE): A Layer-2 Meme Coin on a Roll
Little Pepe, a new meme-inspired cryptocurrency, is drawing big interest. Reports show its presale has already raised on the order of $10–$19 million, with token stages rapidly selling out. Each new presale stage has been fully subscribed in days or hours. Little Pepe is built on its own Ethereum-based Layer-2 chain. It offers zero transaction tax and full EVM compatibility. The network enforces anti-bot/sniper measures and automatic liquidity locks on every new token, addressing common “rug pull” risks. Its team even obtained a CertiK audit to verify security. In short, LILPEPE pairs meme culture with real blockchain tech. A $777K token giveaway (10 lucky winners to get $77K each) has further boosted awareness. The combination of low fees, staking rewards, no sniping, and no hidden taxes attracts both speculators and meme-coin fans. Importantly, the presale funds (allocated 26.5% to early buyers, the rest to development and liquidity) are transparent, which adds to confidence. All this suggests Little Pepe could break away from the pack if it continues to deliver on its promises. Analysts note its unique structure and momentum could allow it to “last beyond the usual flash-in-the-pan hype. If the project proceeds as planned (token launch, exchange listings, etc.), LILPEPE may emerge as a major meme-driven play. Its positioning at the intersection of DeFi infrastructure and meme tokens could attract sustained attention.
Ripple (XRP): Regulatory Clarity and Steady Demand
XRP trades at $2.90 as of writing, recovering after a late-July pullback. On-chain data showed a $375 million profit-taking spike in late July, but over 93% of XRP addresses remain profitable. XRP has recovered above key support after momentarily falling below $2.80, indicating buyer resilience.

South Korean exchanges continue to dominate XRP volume. Speculation of a U.S. spot XRP ETF (possible by late 2025) has led institutions to build up XRP positions, which may underpin near-term demand. Crucially, the SEC has ended its Ripple lawsuit, bringing legal clarity. Analysts note that with regulatory overhang gone, Ripple has been expanding partnerships and its cross-border payment service (ODL), helping XRP “regain momentum” as a bridge currency. XRP’s utility is broadening. The XRP Ledger adds features like an EVM-compatible sidechain and Chainlink oracles, enabling more DeFi and tokenization projects. With about 42% of supply in escrow, Ripple retains control over liquidity, which some view as stability. In sum, short-term price swings coexist with deepening infrastructure and adoption of XRP in finance, suggesting sustained interest ahead.
Solana (SOL): On-Chain Growth and Institutional Tailwinds
Solana’s on-chain metrics have been “explosive” in 2025. Weekly active addresses hit 20.7 million in August 2025, roughly double BNB Chain’s level. Daily transaction counts consistently exceed 600 million, underscoring Solana’s scale. Concurrently, roughly 63% of SOL is staked, reducing circulating supply and adding security. SOL trades at $184 as of writing (around 35% below its $294 all-time high). A recent spot Solana ETF approval has drawn institutional inflows (~$316 million in Q3). Despite some consolidation, on-chain signals like rising active addresses (+59%) and growing DeFi TVL (up from ~$6.6B to $9.4B) suggest bullish undercurrents.

Solana’s ecosystem is rapidly innovating. In 2025, it launched Solaxy and other tech upgrades, improving scalability and cross-chain bridges to Ethereum. Developer activity on Solana has surged, with projects like Jupiter boosting DeFi TVL to ~$8.6B. Meanwhile, major crypto firms added Solana staking services, and Q3 network revenue hit ~$271M. These trends may extend SOL’s medium-term gains.
Conclusion
XRP and SOL enjoy institutional backing and network growth that may drive higher prices this week. At the same time, Little Pepe’s combination of meme appeal and Layer-2 technology draws unusual levels of investor interest. LILPEPE and its community are worth watching for those seeking high-risk, potentially high-reward opportunities. They should also watch how XRP and SOL respond to important technical and regulatory developments in the days ahead.
