Ethereum News Today: Five Altcoins Project 10x-15x Gains Outpacing Ethereum, Dogecoin in Q4 2025

Five cryptocurrencies have emerged as strong contenders to outperform Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin (DOGE) in the final quarter of 2025, with analysts forecasting potential 10x to 15x returns. LILPEPE, TRON (TRX), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Hedera (HBAR) are highlighted for their technical advancements, market dynamics, and speculative growth opportunities. These tokens contrast with ETH and DOGE, which are seen as maturing assets with limited upside compared to altcoins in earlier stages of adoption.

LILPEPE, a meme-inspired token on Ethereum’s Layer-2, has gained traction through a presale that raised $10.78 million in Stage 7 of 15, with projections suggesting a 15x return if it reaches $0.024 by Q4 from its current $0.0016 [1]. Its near-zero gas fees and high transaction speeds position it as a scalable alternative to Ethereum, while its listing on CoinMarketCap has amplified retail investor interest [1]. TRX, meanwhile, has seen a 37% year-to-date gain, supported by increased transaction volumes and stablecoin integrations in Asia. Analysts project a move toward $0.35 or higher, translating to a 12x to 15x surge if market sentiment remains bullish [1].

Solana (SOL) continues to dominate as a high-performance blockchain, up 66% this year. Its low fees and rapid transaction speeds make it a hub for decentralized applications (dApps) and NFTs. If Bitcoin (BTC) maintains a price above $70,000, SOL could target $500, representing a 10x increase [1]. XRP, after years of regulatory uncertainty, faces potential relisting on U.S. platforms if the Ripple-SEC case concludes favorably. A price surge to $8 from current levels of below $0.80 could yield a 10x gain, though this hinges on legal clarity [1]. HBAR, used by enterprises like Google and IBM, remains undervalued despite its energy-efficient network. Analysts suggest real-world use cases could drive its price to $2–$2.50 by year-end, a 15x jump from its current $0.15 [1].

Ethereum and Dogecoin, while still growing—ETH up 48% and DOGE up 29% in 2025—are viewed as less volatile compared to these altcoins. ETH’s $30,000 target by Q4 is deemed unlikely, and DOGE’s reliance on celebrity endorsements has diminished its momentum [1]. The five altcoins benefit from niche innovations (e.g., LILPEPE’s presale model, Solana’s scalability) and speculative demand, making them attractive for traders seeking aggressive returns in the final months of 2025.
