While Shiba Inu (SHIB) struggles to hold ground, a new rival is gaining momentum. Early data suggests that Little Pepe (LILPEPE) could deliver an 86x rise from its current presale level, making it the top meme coin to watch right now.
Shiba Inu has been one of the most recognizable meme tokens in the cryptocurrency space. But cracks are starting to show. At the time of writing, the price of SHIB is approximately $0.000013, with a market cap still in the billions. Despite the size, momentum is slipping. Recent analysis from CoinCodex suggests that SHIB has been confined to a narrow trading range and may slide lower, potentially reaching a price of $0.000012. The pressure stems from weak burn rates and a massive circulating supply, which makes significant moves difficult to sustain. Even with the rollout of Shibarium, adoption has been slower than many expected. Forecasts from Changelly and Cryptopolitan suggest that SHIB could dip into the $0.000011 to $0.000013 range unless stronger on-chain demand appears. This makes many traders cautious. For a token with such a high supply, it takes billions in fresh inflows to move the chart. Without that, the risk of SHIB losing another zero by the end of 2025 remains on the table.
While SHIB is struggling, Little Pepe is stealing attention across the market. At the time of writing, the price of LILPEPE in its presale is $0.0022. The presale has raised more than $26,631,936 with over 16.2 billion tokens already sold. Stage 13 is currently 94.35% filled out of 19 stages, meaning time is running out for early entries. Early buyers from Stage 1 have already seen gains of 120%. Even investors entering now could see around 36.36% upside when the token lists at $0.0030. This suggests there is still real value left on the table for those who act before the presale closes. Unlike many meme projects, Little Pepe is backed by infrastructure and credibility. It has been listed on CoinMarketCap and audited by CertiK, two milestones that help to separate serious projects from quick cash grabs. Community energy is also high. LILPEPE recently topped memecoin trend volumes between June and August 2025, outpacing PEPE, DOGE, and SHIB in conversation volume according to IndiaTimes. Additionally, there is a $777k giveaway and a Mega Giveaway offering more than 15 ETH to top presale buyers across stages 12 to 17.
If SHIB dips further, investors may shift their attention toward tokens with stronger fundamentals. This is where Little Pepe has the edge. The presale success, CertiK audit, and listing credibility create a level of trust that older meme coins rarely had at this stage. SHIB mainly depends on its name and the hope of bigger token burns, while LILPEPE is building itself as a community project that focuses on growth and openness.
Shiba Inu is trading at $0.000013, and since it still lacks real use, its price could fall further. In contrast, Little Pepe is showing a very different trajectory. With its presale price at $0.0022, nearly sold out in Stage 13, a CoinMarketCap listing, a CertiK audit, and strong market visibility, it appears well-positioned to rise significantly above its current level. For anyone considering meme coins in 2025, the data suggests that SHIB may continue to decline, while Little Pepe could rise to 86 times its presale value.
