Bitcoin News Today: Little Pepe $LILPEPE Presale Surpasses $12M in Stage 8 as Bitcoin Rally Drives 7% Surge

Little Pepe ($LILPEPE), an Ethereum-based meme token, has raised over $12 million in its presale as it enters Stage 8, marking a significant milestone for the project [1]. The token, which launched with a zero-tax model and a focus on community-driven growth, has attracted widespread attention amid growing enthusiasm for meme coin projects in the cryptocurrency market. The presale’s success is attributed to its structured funding stages, with prices increasing incrementally as the project progresses. For instance, the price per token rose from $0.0013 in Stage 4 to $0.0016 in Stage 7, reflecting investor confidence in the token’s long-term potential [3][5].

Stage 8’s rapid momentum follows a 7% surge in presale funding during Stage 6, which coincided with Bitcoin’s rally above $118,000 in mid-July 2025 [3]. Analysts note that the broader crypto market’s volatility may influence LILPEPE’s performance, but its presale strategy—offering early buyers increasing price tiers—has mitigated short-term risks by incentivizing early participation. The project’s total presale value now exceeds $12 million, with over $10 million raised by Stage 7 alone [5].

Key to LILPEPE’s appeal is its zero-tax structure, which eliminates transfer fees for users and enhances liquidity. This design aligns with broader trends in the meme coin space, where low-cost tokens like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have dominated social media discourse. Some analysts have even labeled LILPEPE the “Dogecoin-killer,” projecting a potential price of $0.10 before rival tokens like Shiba Inu (SHIB) achieve similar gains [4]. However, such forecasts remain speculative, and the token’s future value will depend on its adoption, utility, and market conditions.

The presale’s progression to Stage 8 also highlights the project’s structured approach to scaling. Each stage introduces a higher price point, ensuring that early investors retain value as demand grows. For example, $1,000 invested in Stage 7 at $0.0016 could yield approximately $250,000 if the token reaches $0.10, though this remains a hypothetical calculation [5].

Market observers emphasize that LILPEPE’s success is part of a larger trend of meme coins leveraging social media virality and community engagement. However, the project’s Ethereum-based infrastructure and presale transparency—unlike some unregulated tokens—position it as a relatively stable option in an otherwise speculative category.
