Low-priced coins have proven on multiple occasions that they can still provide gains if they have a promising use case and community. While all the eyes are on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), several sub-$10 projects may be worth keeping an eye on. Among the projects that are launching presales this week, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is an interesting one that may shine, as well as Toncoin (TON), Mantle (MNT), Bitget Token (BGB), and Ondo (ONDO).
Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Meme Culture Meets Layer 2
Now in Stage 13 of its presale at $0.0022, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has raised $25.8 million with more than 15.9 billion tokens sold. The token is expected to list at $0.003, reflecting strong early momentum. Unlike Dogecoin (DOGE) or Shiba Inu (SHIB), Little Pepe suggests it may evolve meme coins beyond speculation by introducing the world’s first Layer 2 blockchain for memes. The ecosystem combines ultra-low fees, fast finality, and sniper-bot resistance while also including a Memes Launchpad for community-driven projects.
Tokenomics emphasize liquidity (10%), presale allocation (26.5%), and staking rewards (13.5%), with zero transaction taxes. This framework positions LILPEPE as both accessible and utility-driven. The roadmap—Pregnancy, Birth, Growth—captures the project’s playful branding while signalling structured expansion. Already listed on CoinMarketCap, it has secured upcoming listings on two top-tier exchanges and is aiming for the world’s largest platform post-launch. Adding momentum is the Little Pepe Mega Giveaway, open from Stage 12 to 17. With 68,400 entries and 106 days left, participants can win from a 15 ETH prize pool, including 5 ETH for the top buyer and 0.5 ETH each for 15 lucky entrants. This incentive may further strengthen presale demand.
Toncoin (TON): Building Social Finance
Trading around $3.17, Toncoin (TON) powers The Open Network, originally linked with Telegram. Its incorporation into Web3 social finance tools suggests a growing role in connecting decentralized apps and messaging platforms. According to CoinMarketCap statistics, the number of on-chain transactions for TON has increased recently, likely due to growing interest in its tokenized payments and gaming applications. Although TON has a larger ecosystem than Little Pepe, both may survive with their respective target groups because the platform isn’t a center for memecoin culture.
Mantle (MNT): Layer 2 Liquidity Solutions
Mantle (MNT), currently at $1.70, operates as an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution with an emphasis on liquidity management and modular design. It has drawn attention for integrating DAO governance with scalable infrastructure. While Mantle targets institutional and DeFi adoption, it may face competition from other Layer 2s. This suggests that Little Pepe (LILPEPE) could carve a more distinct niche by focusing exclusively on meme-driven adoption while still offering fast, cheap transactions.
Bitget Token (BGB): Exchange Utility Growth
Bitget Token (BGB) is priced at $5.00. BGB provides utility to the Bitget exchange platform. Many utility tokens like BGB see demand increase alongside exchange volumes. TradingView charts indicate BGB has maintained demand in recent months. The token’s long-term is very dependent on the success of its exchange. Little Pepe is much less tied to any exchange. Value drivers for Little Pepe include staking rewards, meme marketing, and its own blockchain.
Ondo (ONDO): Tokenized Finance for Institutions
Trading at $1.02, Ondo (ONDO) is a real-world asset tokenization project. An area of interest in the industry is institutions using blockchain protocols to create bond products and yields, which Ondo plays into. The project is starting to see some liquidity in its protocols as per the DeFiLlama data. ONDO may have a more traditional finance-focused use case that could appeal to different investors than the meme-heavy, retail-friendly Little Pepe.
Conclusion
For investors exploring cryptos under $10, diversification across TON, MNT, BGB, and ONDO may be attractive. Yet Little Pepe (LILPEPE) stands out with its meme-first blockchain vision, zero-tax model, and community-focused incentives. With over $25 million already raised and a Mega Giveaway reinforcing momentum, it may prove one of 2025’s most intriguing meme-driven ecosystems.
