Dogecoin’s recent chart pattern is evoking memories of its 2021 rally, sparking renewed excitement across the meme coin sector. Traders are once again turning their attention to the most viral projects that could mirror DOGE’s historic momentum, but this time, the landscape looks more diverse. Alongside DOGE, a new wave of tokens is defining the conversation, from politically charged names to community-powered ecosystems. Here are three meme coins catching serious attention this week.
Sure, the old-school meme coins still hog the headlines, but lately, traders and analysts can’t stop talking about Little Pepe (LILPEPE). This isn’t just another throwaway meme token. Little Pepe runs on Ethereum as a next-gen Layer 2 ecosystem, blending meme energy with real blockchain upgrades that actually scale. Rather than existing solely as a token, it functions as an entire network designed for meme-based assets, providing ultra-fast, nearly free transactions and integrated protection against sniping bots. It’s a blend of humor and infrastructure that’s proving irresistible to retail buyers.
Currently, Little Pepe’s presale is deep into Stage 13, priced at $0.0022 per token, and honestly, most of the tokens have already been sold, with over 94% sold. The price is about to tick up to $0.0023. Investors have already invested more than $27.2 million in it, closing in quickly on the $28.77 million goal. Money keeps rolling in from round after round, and it’s pretty straightforward—people see this as more than just another meme coin.
Security and trust have also been top priorities. The project underwent a CertiK audit, scoring 95.49%, placing it among the most secure meme initiatives on record. This reassures both retail holders and developers planning to build on its Layer 2 chain. Little Pepe’s team is also running one of the most significant community incentives in the space, the Little Pepe Mega Giveaway. If you buy in during Stages 12 through 17, you’re in the running for a share of 15 ETH in rewards. The biggest buyer grabs 5 ETH alone. On top of that, there’s a $777,000 giveaway lined up; 10 lucky folks will each snag $77,000 worth of LILPEPE.
Leading today’s top gainer list with a double-digit move is the Official Trump Meme coin. This is also the first meme token officially backed by former President Donald Trump. It launched just weeks before the election and quickly gained momentum, landing among the top meme coins by market capitalization. Sure, things cooled off after the initial frenzy, but it’s still a go-to for meme traders and Trump fans. The recent 10% surge follows a sharp post-tariff decline, indicating that the token’s community remains active and responsive to political headlines. Now trading above $6.85 with a $1.37 billion market capitalization, TRUMP is experiencing a 450% surge in daily trading volume, although short-term profit-taking may limit near-term gains.
Since it was released in July, MemeCore has been quietly gaining steam. The project leans hard into utility, and its built-in NFT toolkit gives it an edge in a market that’s usually all hype and little substance. MemeCore currently trades at $2.14 with a market capitalization of just over $2.22 billion. A 2.5% gain in the last 24 hours doesn’t sound wild, but charts show a symmetrical triangle forming, a pattern that often kicks off big moves. The real draw? MemeCore makes it easy for creators to build and launch new meme coins and NFTs, all within its own ecosystem. That’s what’s getting people excited. As interest in tokenized media grows, MemeCore’s fundamentals could support another leg higher if the broader meme sector regains momentum.
As Dogecoin rekindles its 2021 momentum, meme coins are once again proving that narrative and community can drive market movements. However, while TRUMP and MemeCore maintain strong momentum plays, Little Pepe is the one that combines presale traction with long-term potential. In a meme coin cycle, that’s the perfect formula for outperformance. For investors who missed the initial Dogecoin or Shiba Inu boom, this may be the moment to watch closely as its story unfolds on major exchanges.
