Cryptocurrency markets are gaining momentum as traders focus on achieving growth by 2025. Two cryptocurrencies to watch this week are Cardano (ADA), as traders believe it can retest its $3 all-time high (ATH), and Little Pepe (LILPEPE), a meme-inspired Layer 2 blockchain that’s ascending rapidly into presale phase 3.
ADA has been marketed as a project from the get-go that is focused on scalability, sustainability and interoperability. CoinMarketCap indicates that ADA is currently trading significantly below the $3 level it reached in 2021. The cryptocurrency may have a chance to retest that level in 2025, as the broader market potentially bounces back and more institutional adoption occurs.
Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem now has a TVL of over $250 million as per DeFiLlama, but its competition from Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) is fierce, and development activity has waned. However, at the end of the day, the “speculative case” for ADA lies in it retaking market relevance in the coming cycle.
While ADA looks to regain its old highs, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has emerged as one of 2025’s most discussed presale opportunities. Built as the world’s only meme-focused Layer 2 chain, the project seamlessly blends meme culture with advanced blockchain scalability, ultra-low fees, and resistance to sniper bots.
The ongoing presale has already drawn significant attention. At Stage 13, each LILPEPE token is priced at $0.0022, with $26,045,763 raised out of a target of $28,775,000. According to project data, 16,009,436,804 tokens out of 17,250,000,000 have been sold, meaning the sale is already 92.81% complete. With strong momentum, LILPEPE appears to be tracking toward a highly anticipated listing price of $0.003.
Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has a well-organized and methodical tokenomics model. The model is based on several key token allocations, including the main ones: 26.5% for the presale, 13.5% for staking and rewards, and 10% for marketing purposes to increase brand awareness. Importantly, the project enforces 0% buy-and-sell tax, keeping transactions cost-efficient for users.
Its roadmap emphasizes growth stages presented in a creative narrative: “Pregnancy” (presale hype), “Birth” (exchange listings and community expansion), and “Growth” (Layer 2 deployment and ecosystem scaling). Already listed on CoinMarketCap, LILPEPE is set for listings on two top centralized exchanges (CEXs) at launch, with ambitions to reach the largest global exchange in the near future.
To reward community participation, Little Pepe is running a Mega Giveaway for presale buyers across Stages 12–17. With 69,700 total entries and 101 days left, investors stand a chance to win significant prizes.
1st Biggest Buyer – 5 ETH
2nd Biggest Buyer – 3 ETH
3rd Biggest Buyer – 2 ETH
15 Random Lucky Buyers – 0.5 ETH each
Over 15 ETH in total rewards will be shared, establishing a new type of incentive for big and small contributors. In addition to the previous airdrop campaign, which awarded 10 winners $77,000 in LILPEPE tokens, this highlights the community focus of the project.
Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have demonstrated that meme coins can achieve mainstream adoption, yet neither has established an infrastructure specifically dedicated to memes. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) takes a different approach with a Layer 2 chain optimized for memes, faster settlement, and low fees. This means LILPEPE may attract speculative meme communities while also drawing in DeFi users seeking utility. With high enough adoption, the project may stake a claim as one of the more relevant blockchains overall, on par with Solana (SOL) and Uniswap (UNI).
Cardano (ADA) may revisit $3 in 2025 given a confluence of market and ecosystem factors. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is also being primed as one of the most interesting presales of the year. With 93% of Stage 13 tokens sold, upcoming exchange listings, and substantial community giveaways, the project is poised to stand out in the meme coin sector.
