Shiba Inu (SHIB) keeps dominating headlines, but its astonishing upside trend may already be in the rearview mirror. Traders seeking the next growth wave are shifting into coins with superior fundamentals, compelling narratives, and increased asymmetric potential for growth. Six names stand out in October, and at the front of that list is Little Pepe (LILPEPE), a presale star that blends meme culture with infrastructure.
While SHIB and Dogecoin rely mainly on community hype, Little Pepe is building something far more ambitious. The presale is in Stage 13 at $0.0022, already raising $26.3 million of its $28.77 million target. With over 93% sold, availability is shrinking quickly. The listing price is set at $0.003, meaning presale buyers are guaranteed upside before open trading begins. LILPEPE is also running a Mega Giveaway for buyers in Stages 12–17, with over 15 ETH in prizes. Top buyers can win up to 5 ETH, while dozens of random participants share smaller rewards. Positioning early maximizes both token exposure and chances to win. If LILPEPE executes its roadmap and listings arrive on top-tier exchanges, analysts suggest a 100× move to $0.22 isn’t far-fetched.
Ethereum remains the backbone of decentralized finance, and the momentum in October is being fueled by record inflows into spot ETH ETFs. In just one week, funds absorbed nearly $1 billion, signaling deepening institutional adoption. Price-wise, ETH is holding near $4,200, with Standard Chartered raising its year-end forecast to $7,500, while Tom Lee projects $12,000–$15,000 in bullish cases. Growth in Layer 2 adoption and the resurgence strengthen the long-term case, keeping ETH firmly on the October watchlist.
Solana has stayed around $200, a significant support level, and if it continues to hold this level, experts predict it will eventually go up to $300–$400. Ethereum and Solana continue to be supported by institutional stories, while Cardano, WIF, and CRO are taking different directions for growth. All six assets combined give a picture of the flow of capital and the places where investors could find better opportunities to get in on SHIB during the fourth quarter of 2025. The forthcoming CME Solana futures launch may well bring in an institutional demand layer. Solana is also the leading DEX in terms of trading volume, which results in its being one of the most popular blockchains among both retail and developers. Although 100× returns are no longer available, SOL still is a high-risk, high-return coin for the next phase of the bull market.
Trading at $0.80–$0.85, ADA is testing key support as its most crucial upgrade cycle approaches. The Chang/Voltaire upgrade will bring full on-chain governance, while the Midnight sidechain, powered by Google Cloud, enhances enterprise adoption. Speculation over a spot ADA ETF decision in October is driving attention. If approved, ADA could rally toward $1.80–$2.00, nearly doubling from current levels. For investors seeking a blend of governance, utility, and speculation, ADA is too complex to ignore this month.
Dogwifhat (WIF) definitely was one of the most viral meme coins in 2025, exploiting Solana's low transaction costs and quick transaction times. Its cover image of a dog with a hat became so popular that TikTok, X, and NFT collaborations made it a cultural symbol. WIF is different from other meme coins in its deep liquidity and many CEX listings, and thus is a no-nonsense and amusing coin at the same time. For those traders who look for meme exposure connected with Solana's development, WIF is still a very good bet going into October.
As the native token of Crypto.com, CRO has entrenched utility across payments, staking, and DeFi. Users staking CRO receive reduced trading fees, Visa card perks, and yield opportunities. Exchange tokens historically perform well during bull runs, as new retail users flood platforms. With Crypto.com expanding globally and integrating CRO across payments and NFTs, the token has both liquidity and brand power. While not as explosive as meme coins, CRO offers a more stable growth trajectory.
With Shiba Inu slipping down the ranks, the October spotlight shifts to tokens with clearer catalysts. Little Pepe leads the charge as a meme Layer-2 with presale momentum and a massive giveaway campaign. ETH and SOL continue to anchor narratives, while LILPEPE, Cardano, WIF, and CRO add growth angles. Together, these assets indicate potential opportunities in the final quarter of 2025.
