XRP News Today: LILPEPE Surpasses XRP and DOGE as Memecoin Infrastructure Gains Momentum

LILPEPE is emerging as a standout contender in the 2025 crypto landscape, drawing comparisons to Ethereum in its early stages. Currently in Stage 9 of its presale at $0.0018, with over 99.2% of tokens sold, the project has attracted significant investor attention. The project’s Layer-2 blockchain is specifically built for memecoins, offering zero-tax transactions, ultra-fast processing, and minimal fees. These features, combined with a sniper-bot defense mechanism and a planned launchpad for new memecoin projects, position LILPEPE as a potential infrastructure leader in the space [1].

The project is also securing key centralized exchange (CEX) listings, with plans for future global listings, enhancing its accessibility and liquidity prospects. Analysts highlight that LILPEPE’s innovation and community-driven momentum give it an edge over more traditional memecoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Ripple’s XRP [1].

XRP, currently priced at $2.9632, faces regulatory uncertainties that have impacted its performance. The SEC’s ongoing appeal and the potential for an XRP spot ETF remain key watchpoints. While Ripple has seen market cap gains, its price is heavily influenced by institutional and regulatory developments. A dip below $2.9184 could lead to further losses, whereas a breakout above $3.2 might push it toward its all-time high of $3.66. However, this volatility and dependence on external factors make it a riskier long-term bet compared to LILPEPE [1].

Dogecoin has also shown signs of waning momentum. On August 5, DOGE dropped below $0.205, triggering large-scale institutional selling. The token saw a significant volume spike—877.9 million, four times the 24-hour average—as its price fell to $0.1975. Despite a brief rebound, DOGE has been unable to reclaim the $0.205 level, now acting as a resistance. Broader memecoin market outflows, driven by shifting investor sentiment and macroeconomic factors, have further weakened DOGE’s appeal [1].

The contrast between these three tokens highlights LILPEPE’s unique position in the market. Unlike XRP and DOGE, it is not constrained by regulatory pressures and is driven by a decentralized, community-led initiative. With nearly all presale tokens sold, and the price expected to rise to $0.0019 in the next stage, early adopters are looking to secure exposure before a potential price surge post-listing [1].

As the crypto market continues to evolve, LILPEPE represents more than just a memecoin—it is building the infrastructure for the next generation of meme-based tokens. Its Layer-2 chain and launchpad model could redefine how memecoins are created and traded, making it a compelling long-term investment option in 2025 [1].
