These 4 meme coins will deliver bitcoin's (BTC) Last 10 years of gains in just one year
As most of us know, the price of Bitcoin surged from under a dollar in 2011 to 60 thousand in 2021. Claiming a 'jaw-dropping' 60,000% return in 10 years. While $BTC may not experience another drastic growth surge in the near future, the meme coin ecosphere is developing new contenders geared to provide similar benefits. Anticipating a new bull cycle, meme coin investors are eyeing Little Pepe ($LILPEPE), ApeCoin, Useless Coin, and Fartcoin, all projected to reach new highs by early 2026. Little Pepe ($LILPEPE): The Meme Coin Reinventing Ethereum Layer 2 Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) is more than a meme in stage 9 of pre-sale, with 0.0018 being its selling value. It is a meme-compatible Layer 2 that has been built particularly for meme tokens. It has already raised over 15 million in its pre-sale stage. It is designed to attract meme tokens with incredibly low fees, anti-snipe bot protection, instant finality, and a zero tax policy. Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) is fun, fearless, and froggin' fast. It's all the old meme coins on the internet that wished to be, but they are backed by sound technology. It's not web3 with vibes; it's web3 with a purpose, meme magic, and enough tech to change the game on what meme tokens can do. Now that there are listings on CoinMarketCap and plans to launch on CEX after the presale, analysts believe that Little Pepe could follow the trajectory of these early-stage Shiba Inu or Dogecoin performances. A jump from $0.0018 to even $1 would mean a 55,000% increase—something that would put BTC's decade-long rally to shame, gaining all that in a couple of months instead. The built 'Meme Launchpad' also provides its long-term usefulness, transcending mere meme hype. ApeCoin (APE): Web3 Utility with Meme Appeal Crypto gives a considerable number of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) holders of the NFT collections access to the ApeCoin (APE), which currently values $0.53. Although the ApeCoin is more organized than the usual meme tokens, its meme-worthy influence keeps it suspended within the meme coin domain. APE governs the voting rights in the ApeCoin DAO and is anticipated to be important in the Otherside metaverse. After hitting a peak price of over $25 during the NFT craze of 2021, APE's value has dropped sharply—marking it as an asset poised for a significant recovery. Should the Web3 ecosystem bounce back, ApeCoin has the potential to reach $5-$10, enticing early investors with returns of 10 to 20 times their initial investment. Useless Coin (USELESS): Ironic Name, Real Possibility As the name suggests, Useless Coin is gaining traction across crypto communities for its branding and serious market presence. Currently priced at $0.23, Useless Coin is benefitting from a renewed wave of speculation associated with memes. It has a decent following on social media and decent trading volume, which is excellent for liquidity during market upswings. Should meme culture sustain its influence on tokens, Useless Coin might surge to $2 to $5, resulting in returns between 8 and 20 times the initial investment. It has no real-world use cases but profits from community and ironic support. This is reminiscent of the formula that once launched Dogecoin to prominence. Fartcoin (FARTCOIN): The Loudest Meme in the Room Fartcoin is absurd and irreverent and is currently priced around $0.96. Fartcoin is trading with real volume on major Solana-based DEXs. Fartcoin rose to prominence due to its ridiculous branding, which rose to prominence after a market capitalization of almost $900 million. Fartcoin bluntly captures the zeitgeist of the Gen Z meme culture to market tangible liquidity, and Fartcoin allows it to trade during hype spikes. Analysts expect that if Fartcoin once again becomes trendy, it could return to its previous highs of around $3 to $5, providing a 2x to 5x opportunity for people buying below the $1 mark. Conclusion All these meme tokens have different levels of risk and reward, but have explosive potential. Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) is exciting because of its Layer 2 utility feature and ultra-low presale price. It is the most likely to replicate Bitcoin's explosive growth. Also, ApeCoin delivers culture-based utility, Useless Coin leans into meme irony, and Fartcoin thrives on viral absurdity. This is the market area to keep an eye on—and possibly gain from—for investors looking for Bitcoin-like returns before 2026. This area is undoubtedly high-reward and high-risk.

Solana DEX Jupiter Pauses DAO Votes, Citing Breakdown in Trust
Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) Jupiter has announced that it will pause DAO votes until the end of 2025, stating that the structure is not "working as intended." Jupiter executive Kash Dhanda explained in an X post that the protocol is in a "critical period" and that the "window to define the future of DeFi is open." In order to capitalize on that window, Dhanda said that all DAO votes will be paused and in 2026 governance will return "with a fresh approach that unifies, rather than divides." "The current DAO structure isn't working as intended," he added. "We hear the complaints. We see the breakdown in trust. We feel the perpetual FUD cycle that grows with every vote. Instead of the DAO, holders, and team working in cohesion to push the product, platform and community forward, we are stuck in a negative feedback loop." The decision mirrors that of Yuga Labs, which earlier this month scrapped its ApeCoin DAO structure due to inefficiency. From a logistical standpoint, active staking rewards (ASR) will continue at the same rate of 50 million JUP per quarter. However no new DAO-funded Work Groups will be created, thus no additional emissions will be created either. One investor voiced their concerns to the tweet, saying: "So $JUP in 2025 is useless except staked for ASR?" To which Dhanda replied "stay tuned on that." JUP has lost 21.8% of its value over the past 30 days as the wider crypto market struggles to break out of a fairly tight range. The news didn't have a major impact on prices on Friday, with JUP trading at 40 in to access your portfolio
