LILPEPE Surpasses Shiba Inu in Presale With $14.4M Raised

A new meme coin, LILPEPE, is being positioned as a potential disruptor in the meme coin sector, with predictions suggesting it could surpass Shiba Inu (SHIB) in market cap and hit $1 before Dogecoin (DOGE). Currently priced at $0.0018, LILPEPE is in Stage 9 of its presale and has raised over $14.4 million. Analysts highlight its Layer-2 technology and strategic roadmap as key differentiators from traditional meme coins [1].

Shiba Inu and Dogecoin remain dominant in the meme coin space, but their fundamental challenges limit their potential to reach $1. DOGE trades at approximately $0.2172 with a market cap of $32–33 billion. However, its annual inflation of 5 billion tokens and lack of real-world utility make a $1 target unrealistic. SHIB, trading at $0.00001283 with a $7.6 billion market cap, faces an even greater hurdle: reaching $1 would require a market cap of over $589 trillion due to its 589 trillion supply [1].

LILPEPE, in contrast, is designed with a more attainable tokenomics model. It has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, with only 20 billion in circulation at launch. A $20 billion market cap would push the coin toward $1, a goal that appears more feasible than those of DOGE or SHIB. The project is also built on a Layer-2 Ethereum solution, offering ultra-fast transactions, zero taxes, and scalable infrastructure [1].

The project’s roadmap includes three phases: presale and community building, token listings and marketing, and the launch of a Layer-2 EVM chain. Already listed on CoinMarketCap, LILPEPE aims for a $1 billion market cap in the near future. The roadmap emphasizes structured growth and includes a transparent vesting schedule to prevent dumping and encourage long-term holding [1].

LILPEPE’s aggressive marketing strategy includes a $777,000 giveaway, with ten winners receiving $77,000 in tokens. This initiative has generated widespread participation and FOMO among investors, further fueling the coin’s momentum. The project’s combination of meme culture and technological utility distinguishes it from other speculative tokens [1].

According to analysts, LILPEPE’s tokenomics, scarcity, and real-world utility position it as a stronger contender to hit $1 before DOGE or SHIB. The coin’s Layer-2 blockchain infrastructure and community-driven incentives suggest a more sustainable growth trajectory than its rivals. With over 168,000 participants in the presale, LILPEPE is attracting both retail and institutional attention [1].

Little Pepe is being touted as a next-gen meme coin with both cultural appeal and technical infrastructure. Unlike SHIB and DOGE, which rely heavily on sentiment and token burns, LILPEPE is building an ecosystem that emphasizes speed, decentralization, and community empowerment. If its presale and roadmap execute as planned, LILPEPE could see significant gains before the end of the year [1].
