Crypto influencer Glauber Contessoto believes that the 2025 memecoin bull run will focus on Pepe (PEPE) and Dogecoin (DOGE). He shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter).

“In my opinion, everything related to PEPE will become the most popular. PEPEVERSE, if you will. In this universe, PEPE on Ethereum and BRETT on Base will lead the way,” he said.

Contessoto believes PEPE will be the first to rise. Those who miss out will look for the next best token, which will be BRETT. Interest and liquidity following its rally will flow into memetokens ANDY and WOLF.

“Just as SHIB followed DOGE and at some point surpassed it in market cap, a similar dynamic could happen between PEPE and BRETT,” Contessoto noted.

Regarding “dog-themed” tokens, the influencer expects a DOGE comeback, which will lead to the rise of SHIB and FLOKI.

“In addition to the top three coins of the last cycle, we will also see new projects. If you remember, we saw how interest in dog-themed coins spread to tokens like SAITAMA, KISHU, VOLT, SHINJA. I think this time the leader of the pack will be NEIRO on Ethereum,” said Contessoto.

He is confident that the strong communities of DOGE and SHIB will find common ground with NEIRO, as it is “the younger sister and next heir in the DOGE family, destined to carry the torch.”

“There will probably be other memecoins not related to these universes, but these two narratives should be understood in the coming year,” concluded the blogger.

Earlier, the presale of the project Pepe Unchained (PEPU) launched, developing a Layer 2 solution for memecoins with the same name. According to the website, it raised over $13 million at the time of publication.

Pepe Unchained — Groundbreaking Layer 2 Blockchain technology.

The team allocated 20% of the total supply of 8 billion PEPU for the presale. The remaining funds will go towards staking rewards (30%), marketing campaigns (20%), liquidity provision on DEX, team funding, and allocation for the Pepe Unchained Layer 2 solution (30%).

Users can purchase PEPU using Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), or a bank card, and then stake them. Pepe Unchained will issue rewards of 608.82 PEPU per block for two years after the presale ends.

The project has been audited by Coinsult and SolidProof.

It’s worth recalling that in August, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin sold 17 billion NEIRO tokens, which were airdropped to him by the project developers. Despite a 60% crash in value, the memetoken recovered its losses and even set a new all-time high.
