Ethereum News Today: Little Pepe Meme Coin Presale Hits $16.475M as Stage 9 Sells Out

Dubai, UAE — August 7, 2025 — Little Pepe’s meme coin presale has reached $16,475,000, with Stage 9 selling out entirely [1]. The Ethereum-based token, $LILPEPE, has attracted significant online engagement and participation across multiple platforms. To date, 11.25 billion tokens have been allocated, with the project continuing to gain traction among both new and established crypto enthusiasts.

The Little Pepe team attributes the project’s rapid progress to a growing trend in the crypto sector, where meme-driven tokens are increasingly paired with blockchain infrastructure aimed at long-term utility [1]. The team emphasizes that the project's success mirrors the early trajectories of major meme coins, but with a more structured roadmap and higher engagement levels.

While the token initially appears to fit the meme coin archetype—featuring humorous frog imagery and viral social media content—it is built on Ethereum, leveraging the network’s robust security and developer ecosystem [1]. This infrastructure, combined with the team's active roadmap execution, suggests a more serious approach to meme coin development.

Community engagement has been a critical factor in the presale’s success. The project has seen rapid sellouts in each stage, with the team attributing this momentum to the growing involvement of influencers, traders, and NFT collectors [1]. Online groups across Telegram and X (formerly Twitter) have played a significant role in driving awareness and participation.

As the presale moves into its final stages, the team plans to increase the token price in accordance with the predefined structure [1]. Although no official exchange listings have been confirmed, the team has indicated ongoing discussions with potential platforms. Any future listings could enhance the token’s accessibility and visibility in the broader market.

The project also highlights its Layer 2 infrastructure, which aims to combine meme culture with high-speed, low-cost transactions [1]. The $LILPEPE token powers this ecosystem, supporting EVM-compatible applications and fostering a scalable, secure, and accessible blockchain environment.

As 2025 progresses, the success of the presale and the expanding community support are seen as indicators of the project’s increasing relevance in the meme coin space. The team continues to monitor market conditions and community sentiment as key drivers of future development and potential adoption.
