Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about presales of 2025. The project is now in stage 12, selling tokens at $0.0021, after successfully closing out stage 11. Those who joined in at stage 1 have already doubled their money with gains of about 110%. Even at the current stage, buyers still have room for around 42% upside if the token launches at $0.0030. Investors are now curious whether Little Pepe might carve out a path similar to Solana, which delivered one of the most unforgettable rallies in crypto back in 2021.
Solana (SOL) and its Legendary 2021 Surge
In 2021, Solana started the year trading under $2 and peaked near $259 by November. That gained over 12,000%, making it one of the market's most successful rallies ever. Solana built its reputation on speed, low fees, and an explosion of NFT projects and DeFi activity that gave it serious adoption. By the end of that year, its market cap had surged past $63 billion, securing its place among the top cryptos. Solana trades around $188 today, maintaining strong relevance in the DeFi and NFT sectors. However, many investors still consider it the gold standard for early-stage gains. The big question is whether another project could create a similar wave, and Little Pepe is starting to look like a contender.
Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Building Its Own Momentum
Unlike typical meme tokens, Little Pepe is not only about community jokes and viral energy. It is building an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 designed for meme culture but with real infrastructure that includes staking, DAO creation, NFT marketplaces, and gaming. This makes it different from Dogecoin or Shiba Inu, which rely more on brand recognition than ecosystem utility. At the time of writing, stage 12 of the presale is already 93.25% filled. Over $23.2 million has been raised, with more than 14.6 billion tokens sold. Stage 11 sold out ahead of schedule, showing demand is strong. The presale will run through 19 stages, each pushing the price slightly until launch. For context, early buyers from stage 1 paid $0.001 per token. By stage 12, the price is up to $0.0021, which means those initial investors have already locked in 110% gains on paper. Current buyers still have room for about 42% projected gains before the token goes live at $0.0030.
Why Analysts See Parallels with Solana (SOL)
What made Solana so explosive in 2021 was not only the tech but also the timing. It entered the market with fresh solutions, and at that moment, NFTs and DeFi were heating up. Little Pepe is catching a similar wave in 2025. On top of that, Little Pepe has already been listed on CoinMarketCap and audited by Certik, two milestones that give it serious credibility. Data also shows that LILPEPE peaked at 100 in ChatGPT 5 memecoin search volume trends between June and August, surpassing PEPE, Dogecoin, and SHIB in curiosity and discussion. In simple terms, it has captured cultural attention, as Solana captured developer attention back in 2021.
Closing Thoughts
Solana’s 2021 surge remains one of the most exciting chapters in crypto history. It showed what happens when strong tech meets perfect timing. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) shows signs that it could be the modern reflection of that story. The presale has raised over $23.2 million so far, stage 12 is already more than 93% sold, and early buyers are sitting on 110% gains with another 42% potential for those entering now. With a working roadmap, a CoinMarketCap listing, a Certik audit, and cultural traction that has already outpaced Dogecoin, SHIB, and PEPE in memecoin discussions, Little Pepe may be positioning itself as the next Solana. The presale is live for those curious, and the project also runs a 777k giveaway to the community. The window for early entry is closing fast, and just like Solana’s early days, those who spot momentum early often write the success stories later.
