You’re not alone if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines watching Ethereum and Dogecoin pump this year.
ETH has climbed roughly 48% in 2025, while DOGE has managed just about a 29% bounce since January.
Decent? Sure. But nowhere near what most degens and smart retail traders are hunting for right now—the real 10x to 15x gems before year-end.
So here’s the good news. There’s still time to ride the wave, and five altcoins—LILPEPE, TRON, Solana, XRP, and Hedera (HBAR)—show strong signs they could massively outperform ETH and DOGE in Q4 2025.
Let’s break them down.
LILPEPE is leading the pack with wild momentum
The most significant buzz right now is around LILPEPE—a cheeky, meme-fueled token running on Ethereum’s network but bringing Layer-2 vibes with near-zero gas fees and lightning-fast speeds.
It’s not just hype. The presale is exploding. Stage 7 is already over 96% filled, with more than $10.78 million raised out of the $11.225 million goal.
The current price is $0.0016, but once Stage 8 kicks off, the token jumps to $0.0017, and from there, it’s only going higher.
There are 15 stages, and demand shows no signs of slowing.
Here’s the jaw-dropper: if LILPEPE hits its projected post-launch price of $0.024 by Q4, that’s a 15x gain for early buyers right from this presale price.
That’s not speculation. A serious community and solid tokenomics back that. LILPEPE is now live on CoinMarketCap, and that listing alone brings in waves of new investors every hour.
In terms of hype, FOMO, and momentum, this might be the best presale of 2025.
TRON keeps building, quietly becoming a powerhouse
While meme coins grab headlines, TRON (TRX) has been grinding.
It’s one of the most used blockchains in terms of daily transactions, and with new stablecoin integrations and growing adoption in Asia, it’s looking strong heading into the last quarter of the year.
TRX has already gained over 37% this year, but many analysts are now projecting a move toward $0.35 or higher, which could translate to a 12x to 15x surge, mainly if market sentiment stays bullish.
Solana is the only major L1 that’s still got legs
Solana (SOL) has been a monster this year, up more than 66% already.
But what is impressive is that it still holds strong after multiple major rallies.
With its lightning-fast transaction speeds and extremely cheap fees, Solana is positioned perfectly for dApps, NFTs, and even meme coin mania.
If the Solana network pulls off another explosive leg up—which looks likely if BTC stays above $70k—SOL could easily 10x, with targets of $500 being whispered across Twitter and Discord.
XRP may finally get its explosive comeback
Let’s talk about XRP. The Ripple vs. SEC case has dragged on forever, but with legal clarity likely this year and Ripple expanding globally, a moonshot is on the table.
XRP’s price has been frustrating—hovering below $0.80—but a parabolic run to $8 isn’t far-fetched when it clears that resistance.
If the legal win becomes definitive and XRP gets relisted across U.S. platforms, we could easily see 15x gains before the year closes.
HBAR is the silent giant
Last but not least, Hedera (HBAR). If you’ve been ignoring HBAR, you might want to start paying attention.
It’s one of the most energy-efficient networks in the game, and major enterprises like Google, IBM, and Boeing use it.
That’s no small thing. HBAR is still trading under $0.15, but with real-world use cases expanding, price targets for $2 to $2.50 by year-end have emerged.
That’s a 15x potential move, and it could catch many by surprise.
Ethereum and Dogecoin just can’t compete
Let’s be real—Ethereum (ETH) is mature. It’s up 48% this year, but don’t expect a 10x from here.
That would mean a $30,000 ETH, and that’s just not likely by Q4.
Dogecoin (DOGE), while fun and still backed by Elon tweets now and then, has cooled off big time. A 29% gain in 2025 is fine, but not what most retail traders are chasing this season.
ETH and DOGE no longer have the same explosive upside as the five cryptos above.
They’ve had their runs. With a forecast to hit $0.024 by Q4, LILPEPE alone could hand investors a 15x return, blowing past Ethereum and Dogecoin without blinking.
This is your second chance if you missed the ETH and DOGE train. Don’t sleep on it.
