5 Best Cryptos to Invest in Early Before FOMO Kicks In

As specific tokens become more prominent, the fear of missing out (FOMO) increases. However, the most crucial factor in long-term profitability and value accrual with tokens is early adoption, particularly with lesser-known or underappreciated NFTs and cryptos that have the potential to reach new heights. In this piece, we analyze five cryptocurrencies that have the potential to reach new heights and are FOMO-worthy candidates for early investment, including the generational Little Pepe (LILPEPE).

Little Pepe (LILPEPE): New Meme Coin on the Block

Little Pepe is  one of the most highly anticipated tokens in the market, and now, in presale Stage 13, it is selling for $0.0022. So far, the presale raised $27.124 million and sold over 16.499 billion tokens. Presale enthusiasm for LILPEPE is likely to continue, particularly since the token will soon be listed on several exchanges and has an active community of over 44,000 holders and more than 38,800 Telegram members. The community is also likely encouraged by the $777,000 giveaway, suggesting that the project is underpinned by enthusiasm for prize users. Additionally, a Certik audit score of 95% should significantly enhance the project’s credibility and security, particularly for early investors. Little Pepe’s listing on CoinMarketCap has also helped with visibility. As the token enters the final stages of its presale, the potential for FOMO to cause a significant price increase is more than probable. Those early investors are well-positioned for the likely continued growth in popularity of the token.

Plasma (XPL): DeFi’s Rising Star

Plasma (XPL) focuses on integrating stablecoin and decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure. Given their market attention, the value of XPL (Plasma) as of October 2025 is approximately $0.387, with a market cap of $775 million to $834 million. Recently, Plasma had a total value locked (TVL) of $2B, which was significant, and the recent influx of institutional investors connected to Tether was likely partly responsible.  With integrations with major players such as Aave and Chainlink, XPL is set for substantial progress in the DeFi market. Current XPL price action suggests strong support at $0.38 to $1 in the short term, which defaults to a bullish condition. 

TRON (TRX): A Blockchain for Decentralized Entertainment

At a market valuation of $29.3 billion and $0.307 and $0.322 market price of Oct 2025, with the dominance of the USDT ecosystem, TRON also enjoys market transaction volumes consistently in the range of $1.1 billion to $1.15 billion with high recharge and low fee due to the recent TRON fee. The positive outlook regarding TRON is notable, with about 81%-82% of conversations on Twitter being optimistic. The sentiment around TRON is likely to persist, driven by consistent user growth and new partnerships. With growth and adoption, TRON is expected to reach $1.

The TRX shows a reversing potential with about weekly declines 4-7%. The MACD will likely see a bullish crossover. $0.35-$0.40 is likely by November, with longer-term growth targets focused on $1 for Q4 2025 and $3.55 for 2030.

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU): Meme Coin with Real Utility

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) has crossed into innovative territory as a meme-based token with NFTs, toys, and metaverse integrations within the Solana ecosystem. It is priced between $0.021 and $0.022 and has a market cap of $1.26 billion and $1.52 billion. This token has substantial on-chain activity. It has a circulating supply of 62.9 billion tokens and has recently seen holders surpass 868K on Solana.

Over recent days, the price has been quite variable, dropping 4-23%. However, there is evidence of new ‘smart money’ suggesting buying and a consequent price increase, with predictions of a short-term price rise to $0.031-$0.042 if it breaks the $0.024 resistance. Given the current expansion of Pudgy Penguins into the metaverse and the market for toys, it is forecasted to reach $0.053 in 2026.

Mantle (MNT): The Ethereum Layer-2 Solution for DeFi

Mantle focuses on scalability and integrating DeFi and RWAs. Currently, MNT is trading around $1.59, and its market capitalization is around $5.30 billion. Mantle is growing at an impressive rate with over 20 DAU in stablecoins in its ecosystem. Integrations with Bybit, $2M in institutional purchases from WLFI, and other products, such as the MI4 fund, encourage MNT’s growth.

Even though Mantle saw a 6.21% drop, the bullish flicker in the MACD indicates a possible recovery, which is predicted for Mantle over the short term, with target prices of $1.78-$2.38, with the potential of $5-$7 in the near future, which can be expected with the expansion of the ecosystem and DeFi capabilities.

Conclusion: Invest Early to Beat FOMO 

Each of these five cryptocurrencies presents an incredible investment opportunity before FOMO takes hold. Whether it’s Little Pepe’s growing presale success, Plasma’s rise in DeFi, TRON’s strong market position, Pudgy Penguins’ IP-driven growth, or Mantle’s scaling potential, these tokens are all poised for strong performance in the coming months and years. As the market matures and more investors flock to these projects, those who act early could see significant investment returns.
