2 aim to topple Dogecoin

LILPEPE and SEI gain ground as investors look beyond Dogecoin to utility-driven meme and altcoin challengers.

Dogecoin is a leading memecoin, but investors in 2025 want utility, innovation, and community-driven projects. While Dogecoin remains relevant, two surging contenders — Little Pepe (LILPEPE) and Sei (SEI) — are showing signs that they could overtake DOGE in both adoption and market cap. 

Alongside these, two other undervalued cryptos — TON and SUI — are positioning for explosive growth. Here’s a breakdown of the four most underrated cryptos in July 2025, and why LILPEPE and SEI could soon dethrone Dogecoin.

1. Little Pepe: Meme culture meets real utility

• Current Price: $0.0015
• Stage: 6 of Presale
• Raised: $8.49M / $8.825M
• Tokens Sold: 6.52B of 6.75B (96.74% complete)

Little Pepe is not just another memecoin; it’s the future home of all memecoin innovation. Built as the first-ever Layer-2 blockchain dedicated entirely to memecoins, LILPEPE offers something no other token has before: a high-speed, low-cost network with sniper-bot resistance and an integrated memecoin launchpad. 

The platform aims to provide meme token creators and traders a secure, fast, and community-driven blockchain experience unlike anything in the space. The fusion of humor and high-performance technology makes Little Pepe stand out. It’s engineered by anonymous experts behind previous top meme tokens, and the team has already confirmed listings on two top-tier centralized exchanges (CEXs) at launch. 

There are also whispers of a listing on the world’s largest exchange, providing the kind of liquidity and exposure few memecoins receive at this stage. Unlike Dogecoin, which is largely static regarding innovation, LILPEPE is building infrastructure. The upcoming LILPEPE Chain will allow new meme projects to launch with fair tokenomics, zero tax, and built-in protection against unfair trading practices like bot-sniping, an issue that plagues most new memecoins.

With the current price at just $0.0015 and over 96% of the presale completed, Little Pepe is inching toward a public debut that could turn early buyers into overnight success stories. And with meme culture surging again in 2025, LILPEPE might just become the face of the next generation of community coins and topple DOGE.

2. Sei: The institutional-grade DeFi powerhouse

Sei is another top contender poised to surpass Dogecoin, not because of memes, but because of pure performance and real-world utility. Sei’s ecosystem has exploded in the past year, with TVL (Total Value Locked) soaring by 821% YoY to over $670 million. 

What’s powering this surge is the project’s integration of USDY, a tokenized U.S. Treasury product backed by real-world assets (RWAs). USDY’s presence on Sei is a game-changer. This isn’t just another token; it’s one of the most dominant RWA products in the space, making up 32% of all tokenized Treasury users. 

Backed by Mountain Protocol and ranked fifth in TVL among RWA tokens (behind BlackRock’s BUIDL and Franklin Templeton’s BENJI), USDY provides a secure, yield-generating tool for developers and DeFi investors. What makes Sei powerful is accessibility and composability. 

USDY is now fully usable as an ERC-20 token within Sei’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to build lending protocols, collateral systems, and treasury management tools directly on-chain. Until now, these institutional-grade features required navigating fragmented platforms, but Sei has removed the friction. 

For investors, Sei represents a shift toward trustworthy, yield-bearing DeFi. It’s not speculative hype — it’s about real adoption and use cases, backed by financial institutions. And with blockchain infrastructure evolving toward RWA integration, Sei is perfectly positioned for exponential growth. While Dogecoin relies on sentiment and celebrity tweets, Sei is building the future of decentralized finance. Its ability to attract institutional capital while supporting user-friendly development makes it one of the strongest DOGE competitors this cycle.

3. TON: Telegram’s NFT juggernaut

TON saw over 1.1M NFTs minted in 10 days, signaling rapid web3 adoption and growth. Why is this important? Because NFT minting is often a proxy for ecosystem engagement. The more NFTs created, the more likely TON will become a hub for gaming, collectibles, digital identity, and community membership systems. And with Telegram’s massive user base providing a seamless on-ramp to TON, its growth trajectory may soon rival that of Solana or Polygon in the NFT space. 

As the NFT sector regains momentum in the post-bear market, TON’s scalability and integration with Telegram give it a unique advantage in attracting retail and enterprise users. While it might not unseat Dogecoin directly, TON’s increasing presence in digital collectibles makes it an essential undervalued asset for July 2025.

4. SUI: Price reversal could mirror XRP’s meteoric rise

SUI has officially broken free of its recent price slump, surging over 47% in the last 30 days and smashing past the $4 resistance. This move completes a W-shaped reversal pattern, and indicators such as the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) now trend above zero, pointing to continued bullish momentum. 

SUI eyes $4.20 resistance, mirroring XRP’s surge, with strong support and rising developer adoption. It’s a Layer-1 built for speed and composability, and its current market cap doesn’t reflect its expanding ecosystem. SUI is a strategic buy for those seeking value plays with price catalysts already in motion.

Final thoughts

In the evolving crypto market of July 2025, legacy coins like Dogecoin are no longer untouchable. Little Pepe and Sei offer vastly superior utility, whether memecoin infrastructure or tokenized Treasuries powering the next wave of DeFi. TON and SUI, meanwhile, are riding massive waves of user activity and bullish technical breakouts. Hunting for the next big winners, and potentially the next DOGE-flippers? These four underrated cryptos deserve attention now.
