XRP News Today: LILPEPE Presale Gains 1,923% as Investors Compare it to XRP's 2017 Surge

In 2017, an early investor in Ripple (XRP) made headlines by turning a $440 investment into over $154,000. At the time, XRP was an unnoticed low-cost cryptocurrency until it gained significant attention. LILPEPE, a cryptocurrency currently in its presale stage, is being compared to XRP due to its potential for a similar breakout. Each LILPEPE token is priced at $0.0013, which, while modest, could mask significant opportunities, much like XRP's historic surge.

LILPEPE is more than just a meme coin; it is a comprehensive infrastructural project deeply rooted in internet culture. Unlike other memecoins that rely on Ethereum’s busy mainnet, LILPEPE has its own EVM-compatible blockchain. This blockchain is designed for fast transactions, with no buy/sell fees and token launches that are difficult for bots to access. The Pump Pad, a patented launchpad platform, is a central feature of this system. It combats sniper bots and front-running, making LILPEPE one of the easiest chains to use in DeFi for retail traders who are often at a disadvantage against bots and whales. If Ethereum’s success in 2017 was driven by dApps, LILPEPE’s success could be based on meme utility, a new category where culture and functionality intersect.

The presale of LILPEPE is gaining significant momentum. In Stage 4, each token costs $0.0013, up from $0.0012 in Stage 3. Over $2.5 million has already been raised, with about 2.2 billion tokens sold out of the pool. This rapid growth mirrors XRP’s pre-pump era, where demand slowly built up until a massive influx of money occurred. The setup is similar: a low-cost entrance, early community growth, and a distinctive use in a market niche that isn’t getting enough attention.

Crypto experts and early-stage venture capitalists are taking notice of LILPEPE. Its Layer 2 features, zero-tax model, and early-stage tokenomics are seen as signs of serious long-term potential. According to analysts' forecasts, in a bull market, LILPEPE might reach $0.10–$0.15, which would be a return of 7,500%–11,400% from the current Stage 4 price. This kind of return is reminiscent of XRP’s growth in 2017, and early investors are taking note. LILPEPE is also giving away $777,000 to 10 people who complete basic tasks and participate, with each winner receiving $77,000 in tokens to keep the community energized and engaged.

XRP’s success in 2017 can be attributed to its straightforward narrative of “banking the unbanked” and favorable timing as cryptocurrency gained popularity. LILPEPE checks all the boxes but does so in a manner unique to its culture. The “Legend of Little Pepe” whitepaper tells the story of a meme coin hero born to take down the old, slow, and expensive titans of the cryptocurrency world. The LILPEPE community is growing rapidly, thanks to a grassroots movement of crypto natives, traders, and influencers. The timing also feels right, with discussions about 2025 as the next major bull cycle and Ethereum gas fees prompting users to adopt Layer 2 solutions. The Little Pepe Chain could experience a surge in demand similar to what Polygon and Arbitrum did in their early days.

It wasn’t a mistake that Ripple experienced such a significant breakout in 2017. It was a mix of being an early adopter, clever positioning, and the market’s rising waves. LILPEPE is like that today, but with one significant change: it has its own chain. LILPEPE isn’t just another meme frog; it’s a new type of chain-powered meme utility that can grow, has strong tokenomics, and is built to go viral. If you missed XRP at $0.003, this could be your second shot. Stage 4 is currently open for presale. Do you want to join the presale? Go to the website and talk to other people on Telegram.
