Top Meme Coins to Watch in 2025: 4 Notable Projects Gaining Attention

Meme coins remain a popular sector in the crypto space in 2025, attracting a wave of new participants interested in a mix of culture, community, and, in some cases, evolving blockchain functionality. While many meme-based tokens still rely heavily on viral momentum, a number are exploring additional features such as decentralized infrastructure or Layer 2 enhancements. This overview looks at four meme coins that continue to spark interest—Dogecoin and Shiba Inu remain high in market cap rankings, Pepe Coin has gained traction with viral appeal, and Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) is aiming to combine meme appeal with Layer 2 functionality.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Launched in 2013, Dogecoin became one of the earliest meme coins to achieve widespread recognition. Built on a proof-of-work protocol similar to Bitcoin, Dogecoin does not have a fixed maximum supply, which results in continuous minting.

At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at approximately $0.2246 with a market cap of around $33.78 billion and a daily trading volume near $2.21 billion. With more than 150.3 billion tokens in circulation, it has seen a recent 1.77% price increase. Dogecoin maintains a large community and remains widely used for small transactions, tipping, and educational entry points into cryptocurrency.

 

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Introduced in 2020, Shiba Inu operates on the Ethereum network and utilizes a proof-of-stake mechanism. The project positions itself as a decentralized ecosystem, offering staking, swapping, and governance features.

SHIB is currently priced at $0.00001312, with a market capitalization of roughly $7.73 billion and a circulating supply of 589.24 trillion tokens. It has experienced a 1.06% price movement over the past 24 hours and maintains over $255 million in daily trading volume. While speculative trading continues to be a key driver, the team has continued to release updates and tools within its ecosystem.

 

Pepe Coin (PEPE) Pepe Coin references the well-known “Pepe the Frog” meme and was introduced as a meme-centric token. It garnered attention quickly through viral marketing and early community engagement.

As of the latest data, PEPE is trading at $0.00001160, with a market cap of approximately $4.88 billion and a supply of 420.68 trillion tokens in circulation. It has over 470,000 wallet holders and daily volume exceeding $796 million. A large portion of its supply is reportedly held in liquidity pools. Though still relatively new, its community activity and trading levels make it a notable project within the meme coin category.

 

Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) Little Pepe distinguishes itself by operating on its own Layer 2 network, which it describes as optimized for speed, decentralization, and reduced transaction costs. The project utilizes its native token, $LILPEPE, to support various functions within its ecosystem.

Little Pepe is currently in Stage 9 of its presale phase, with tokens priced at $0.0018. The price is scheduled to increase to $0.0019 in the next phase. According to the project, more than $14.3 million has been raised so far, with over 10.06 billion tokens sold out of a planned 11.25 billion in this phase. Previous pricing stages are as follows: • Stage 1: $0.001 – $500K • Stage 2: $0.0011 – $1.325M • Stage 3: $0.0012 – $2.5M • Stage 4: $0.0013 - $4.475M • Stage 5: $0.0014 - $6.675M • Stage 6: $0.0015 - $8.825M • Stage 7: $0.0016 - $11.225M • Stage 8: $0.0017 - $13.775M • Stage 9 (Current): $0.0018 - Over $14.3M

Tokenomics (Total Supply: 100B): • Presale: 26.5B • Staking & Rewards: 13.5B • CEX Reserves: 10B • Liquidity: 10B • Chain Reserves: 30B • Marketing: 10B

$LILPEPE tokens are available only through the official website (LittlePepe.com) and can be purchased using ETH, USDT (ERC-20), or a credit/debit card. ETH is required to pay gas fees when using USDT. The project’s roadmap includes creatively themed phases such as “Pregnancy,” “Birth,” and “Growth,” along with planned features like staking, governance, and a meme-themed launchpad.

Little Pepe has also announced a promotional giveaway totaling $777,000 in LILPEPE tokens, where ten participants may each receive $77,000. The stated minimum contribution to enter is $100. As always, prospective participants should exercise caution, review all available documentation, and assess the risks before taking part in any presale. While some observers may view Little Pepe as a meme coin exploring blockchain utility, any future performance remains uncertain and dependent on market conditions.
