If you have been holding Shiba Inu lately, you’ve probably noticed the market hasn’t been too friendly. The charts are flashing red, and analysts suggest SHIB could fall another 30% if buyers don’t show up soon. At the time of writing, the price of Shiba Inu is around $0.000012 with a market cap hovering near $6 billion. It’s a worrying signal for investors who have watched SHIB struggle to regain the hype it once had. But when one door closes, another might be opening now. Three meme coins attract attention, are alternatives, and seem the strongest: Little Pepe (LILPEPE), MemeCore (MEME), and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU). Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has the highest potential, up 120% from early buyers and 36% from launch buyers.
Now to the real head-turner, Little Pepe. The project’s presale is currently in Stage 13, priced at $0.0022 per token, with $27.2 million raised out of a $28.7 million target. Over 16.5 billion tokens have already been sold out of the 17.25 billion available for this stage. The presale has seen early investors enjoy up to 120% gains since Stage 1, and new buyers can still expect about 36% upside before launch when the token lists at $0.0030. What’s impressive is that LILPEPE isn’t just another meme token. It’s building on a next-gen Layer 2 blockchain with zero transaction tax, ultra-low fees, and a staking and rewards system.
LILPEPE recently got listed on CoinMarketCap and has completed a full Certik audit, providing investors with an extra layer of confidence. The team has also rolled out a $777k giveaway and an additional mega giveaway worth over 15 ETH for top presale buyers across Stages 12a-d 17. From June to August 2025, LILPEPE outperformed SHIB, PEPE, and DOGE in ChatGPT-5 memecoin question trends, a sign of intense community curiosity and organic hype.
MemeCore is building what many are calling “Meme 2.0”, a network designed for meme creators and communities to shape the value they create. At the time of writing, MemeCore trades between $0.45 and $0.52, with a market cap of around $1.2 billion, according to CryptoRank.
The project recently saw a 70% jump in value following viral interest on X and Reddit. What’s special here is that MemeCore is trying to formalize meme culture into a more organized system that directly rewards creators. It’s not just about speculation anymore. It’s about community ownership. That’s a theme that seems to be resonating with many people tired of empty hype.
Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) has also been described both as a meme project and an NFT storytelling project. Currently, the token is worth about $0.04, around a market cap of just over $1 billion. Transaction fees are lower due to its life within the Solana ecosystem. Upon the return of NFT hype to a minor peak around 2025, PENGU became popular among traders and collectors as an emotional, culture-based project, in contrast to other projects focused on core technical products.
With Shiba Inu struggling and its chart pointing toward more losses, investors are clearly searching for the next big meme opportunity. MemeCore offers an experimental ecosystem, and PENGU rides on the cultural wave of NFTs. But Little Pepe feels different; it blends community fun with tangible blockchain use cases, and that’s exactly what the meme coin world needs right now.
At the time of writing, LILPEPE’s presale is already 95.9% filled. With early buyers up by 120% and current investors still looking at around 36% possible gains before launch, the momentum speaks for itself. For anyone considering a fresh play before the next meme season kicks off, Little Pepe might just be the one to watch.
