Shiba Inu has introduced a major change to its community decision-making system through Shib Doggy DAO, bringing new voting options that move beyond the old reliance on token staking. Now, community members can use ERC-20 token balances to take part in governance, or choose quadratic voting to prevent large holders from dominating the process. With $12 million in backing from major industry players and plans for a new Layer-3 chain, the Shiba Inu network is setting itself up for broader adoption and a stronger role in the Web3 space. Revamped Doggy DAO: Stronger Voting And Fairer Governance The Shiba Inu ecosystem’s governance body, the SHIB Doggy DAO, has rolled out a redesigned voting framework that makes participation more inclusive and secure. Until now, governance proposals have relied heavily on Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) staking, which limited flexibility and created risks of majority attacks. Related Reading: What’s Next For XRP After Crashing Below $3? Analyst Answers With the update, community members can now vote directly with their ERC-20 token balances. Token holders no longer need to stake assets to have a say in governance, making it easier for more of the SHIB Army to join decision-making. At the same time, quadratic voting adds another layer of protection. In this system, the cost of gaining extra voting power rises steeply, making it nearly impossible for wealthy holders to control outcomes. Instead of being restricted to one fixed model, they can now pick the governance method that best suits their proposal. Whether it’s staking, direct token balance voting, or quadratic voting, the flexibility allows for better alignment between the nature of the decision and vote counts. Shibarium’s Bigger Vision: Identity, Layer-3, And TREAT Token While improving governance is a significant achievement, Shiba Inu’s developers have even bigger plans for the future of the network. Work is already underway on an identity-based voting system that will give each person just one vote, regardless of how many tokens they hold. The voting system closes the gap between whales and small holders, guaranteeing everyone has an equal voice. Related Reading: Dogecoin Eyes 1,000% Increase To Reach $2.55 ATH This Cycle The team wants to launch a new Layer-3 chain next year and has raised $12 million from backers like Polygon Labs and Animoca. The upcoming chain will run on Shiba Inu’s newest token, Treat (TREAT), which rewards Web3 activities. TREAT is already listed on major exchanges like MEXC, Bitget, and Gate, signaling growing interest and adoption. Beyond TREAT, other tokens in the Shiba Inu ecosystem will also play distinct roles. Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) and DogeKiller (LEASH) will serve different on-chain functions, helping power the multi-token system that supports Shibarium. The new governance model connects to the bigger Web3 trend of digital identity. Shibarium has a Karma points system that measures reputation and trust across the community. By tying voting to identity and reputation, Shiba Inu moves to a safer, more trusted system that helps it grow to one billion users. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) has launched a Layer-2 solution on the Ethereum virtual machine and is ready to welcome a new generation of frog meme coins. Low-cost, lightning-fast transactions on Little Pepe solve Ethereum’s well-known congestion and gas issues. And as the heir apparent to Pepe’s market dominance, Little Pepe could welcome an ever-expanding world of meme coins. It all comes at a time when the meme coin market is on the rise, and frog-related tokens have built their own niche worth $5.65B. $LILPEPE Presale Becomes Top Meme Coin to Buy Now LILPEPE’s presale closed its Stage 10 early as investors poured into the project, raising the total from the presale to well over $22M. The $LILPEPE project touts zero trading taxes, anti-bot protections, and a $777K giveaway. It arrives just as $PEPE, $BRETT, and other frog coins sustain sizable market share. Pepe ($PEPE) is among the most liquid meme coins, with a multibillion-dollar capitalization and frequent bursts of volume; it’s down over a quarter in August. Brett (Based) ($BRETT) broke out in 2024, a major player on Coinbase’s Base chain. It reached its all-time high of $0.23 at the beginning of December 2024. $BRETT is still a flagship for Base meme coins. Turbo ($TURBO) holds a $280M market cap, significant even for a meme coin, with a persistent presence in the frog subset. A Frog Sector with Real Weight Frog-themed meme coins remain a significant slice of the market: the category shows an aggregate market cap of roughly $5.65B. Within that cohort, $PEPE holds about $4.36B in value, while $BRETT (Base) trades near $0.05 with a market cap around $490M. One top-50 token and several mid-rank ones before the sector gives way to small-cap coins at the bottom of the list. Still, the overall market cap of the sector is impressive enough. And performance for many of the individual tokens, while down recently, has nevertheless surged in 2025. That follows broader market trends – Interest in even the best meme coins has ebbed and flowed throughout 2025 with periodic rotations into the segment and sentiment-driven spikes. It’s a market niche ripe for a contender to challenge $PEPE for his crown. Enter Little Pepe ($LILPEPE), a token offering more than Pepe ever could. What Little Pepe Is Building Unlike most meme tokens that launch on existing chains and absorb gas costs, Little Pepe is rolling out an EVM-compatible Layer-2. Little Pepe chain boasts zero buy/sell taxes on the $LILPEPE token. The project’s whitepaper outlines a 100B total supply with 26.5% allocated to presale, 30% to chain reserves, 13.5% to staking & rewards, and 10% each to liquidity, DEX allocation, and marketing. Ultra-fast, secure, and cheap – Little Pepe is the perfect chain for building a meme coin empire. The project even features anti-sniper (anti-bot) protections and a native launchpad intended to give new tokens a fairer start. Liquidity gets locked when tokens launch, preventing a common scam where devs snag all the tokens overnight. A CertiK smart-contract audit and a preliminary CoinMarketCap page help advance the sale. There’s also the significant $777K giveaway. The terms are simple – a minimum $100 presale entry plus social tasks – and winners are announced on the project site. 10 lucky winners from the community will each receive $77K in $LILPEPE. The Little Pepe Pitch Little Pepe’s pitch is that infrastructure (an L2), not just a likable mascot, can help the token compete when meme coin volumes surge. Lower fees, tax-free trading, and anti-bot rails may appeal to retail traders who were priced out by gas or burned by launch snipers in prior cycles. $LILPEPE has room to grow, big shoes to fill, and the ambition to do it. Do your own research; though, this isn’t financial advice.

After the brief surge that followed the Ripple lawsuit’s conclusion, traders say momentum quickly faded. Bitcoin slid to around $114,000, and with it, XRP touched $2.94. That dip dragged the token under $3 once again, sparking fresh arguments between those who see a buying chance and those who remain skeptical. Related Reading: Cardano Climbs To 8th, Pushing Dogecoin And TRON Down The Ranks Analyst Frames Dip As Opportunity According to comments from Coach JV, a well-known XRP advocate, the return to sub-$3 levels should be seen as a chance to buy. He called XRP under $3 “a massive blessing.” He told followers that most people panic when prices fall, while patient investors buy slowly over time. He used a farming image to make the point: People tend to buy at harvest, he said, but the smart money buys when the field looks empty. This message sits alongside data showing XRP has been more bearish since the post-lawsuit spike. XRP under $3 is a massive blessing. Most people panic when prices are low, but this is where wealth is built. You already know the game, accumulation in sideways markets is what sets up generational wealth when the cycle turns. Think of it like farmland. Everyone wants to buy… — Coach, JV (@Coachjv_) August 18, 2025 A Split Within The Community Not everyone agrees with that view. One commentator argued that XRP at $500 — not $3 — would be the real blessing. Coach JV pushed back, saying that if an extreme rally ever arrives, the payoff will go to those who held through the down days and kept adding to their positions. He has also used the phrase “unimaginable wealth” to describe what long-term holders might see. Reports note that most XRP holders own fewer than 500 tokens, which helps explain why many retail investors focus on the idea of transformative returns. Technical Indicators Paint A Cautionary Picture According to current XRP price predictions, the token is expected to dip by 0.75% to about $2.87 by September 19, 2025. Based on technical readings, market sentiment is listed as Neutral and the Fear & Greed Index registers 44 (Fear). Over the last 30 days XRP recorded 12/30 green days — that’s 40% — with price volatility at 4.80%. Those numbers suggest movement, but not runaway momentum, and they help explain the mixed tone among traders. Related Reading: Analyst Says Shiba Inu’s $0.000010 Support Could Trigger Major Bounce XRP’s $3 Line: Buying Opportunity Or Warning Sign? Meanwhile, short-term traders will watch price action around $3 for signs of follow-through, while longer-term backers point to accumulation as a strategy. According to the voices quoted in the market, patience and steady buying are the path some choose. Other market participants say tempering expectations with clear math is wise. Either way, the debate over whether a dip is a blessing or a warning is likely to continue as XRP finds its footing after recent volatility. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
