The crypto market is heating up once again, and all eyes are on the next batch of breakout tokens that could dominate the next bull run. A key indicator of investor sentiment and early retail interest is search engine data, specifically, which tokens people are actively researching. Solana (SOL), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Little Pepe (LILPEPE) were the three most searched cryptocurrencies on Google in June 2025. Let’s discuss why these tokens are gaining popularity and how much they could increase in the next bull market cycle.
Little Pepe (LILPEPE)
The most intriguing addition to the June Google trends is Little Pepe (LILPEPE) — a yet-to-launch meme coin that’s in its early presale phase. What’s notable is that before even listing, $LILPEPE has already raised over $39,000 from early investors with barely a whisper from mainstream influencers. Unlike most meme coins that launch with little to no infrastructure, Little Pepe is building a full-fledged Layer 2 blockchain, powered by $LILPEPE itself. That’s a major differentiator. This project isn’t just about memes — it’s about scaling Ethereum faster and cheaper, but with meme-fueled branding.
The whitepaper reads more like a crypto folklore epic than a technical document, but behind the fun lies some compelling fundamentals:
In the past, early access to meme coins like PEPE and DOGE produced astronomical returns. What sets Little Pepe apart is that it hasn’t launched yet, providing investors with a rare opportunity to position themselves early in a presale phase with structured tokenomics and Layer 2 ambitions. It wouldn’t be surprising if $LILPEPE increased 10 to 50x after its launch.
Growth Potential: High-risk, high-reward play. Could be the breakout meme coin of the 2025 bull cycle — especially if Layer 2 performance lives up to the hype.
According to Bloomberg analysts, Solana is experiencing its most bullish institutional tailwinds to date, with over a 90% probability of approval for a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). The SEC’s recent move to request updated S-1 filings from Solana ETF applicants has all but confirmed that approval is not a matter of if, but when, most likely in early July.
In previous cycles, ETF approval for Bitcoin and Ethereum unlocked vast amounts of capital. But Solana offers a unique value proposition: ultra-fast, low-cost transactions and a growing ecosystem of decentralized applications, meme coins, and NFT platforms. This makes it both a Layer 1 powerhouse and a cultural touchstone.
Analysts like Ali Martinez have predicted a 5x to 10x upside from current levels if SOL breaks the $200 resistance. Moreover, the ecosystem is fertile ground for “beta bets” — Solana-native memecoins like Dogwifhat, SPX6900, and Fartcoin have outperformed during the recent rally.
What makes Solana’s upcoming ETF different from Ethereum’s lackluster start is timing. Ethereum ETFs were launched at a time when Bitcoin’s dominance was still rising and the market was absorbing macroeconomic uncertainty. Solana’s ETF, however, comes on the cusp of altseason. JPMorgan’s forecast of $3 to $6 billion in inflows within the first year might be conservative.
Growth Potential: Institutional capital + memecoin culture + scaling leadership = multi-layered bullish setup.
Despite a 7.1% drop in the past 24 hours due to geopolitical tensions, Shiba Inu remains one of the most resilient meme coins in the space, and its 112,839% burn rate spike in a single day shows its core community is still active.
Shiba Inu operates on a deflationary model, meaning tokens are removed from circulation through burns during high-volume transactions. Over 112 million SHIB were burned recently, hinting at an uptick in utility and ecosystem usage.
Technically, SHIB is sitting on a key support level at $0.00001050. If this holds, analysts believe a 300% move toward $0.00001500 is feasible in the short term. While the token remains well below its all-time high, this upcoming cycle could favor large-cap meme coins that have survived multiple market cycles.
That said, SHIB is competing in a saturated field, and its upside may be limited compared to smaller-cap meme tokens. Still, its large community and emerging use cases (like Shibarium, its Layer 2 solution) keep it relevant for the next leg up.
Growth Potential: Mid-tier gains are likely, driven by burn mechanics and ecosystem upgrades, but unlikely to see “life-changing” returns unless major news or partnerships emerge.
As the crypto market prepares for the next leg up, understanding which tokens command attention can give you a huge edge. Solana brings the institutions, Shiba Inu holds the cultural flame, and Little Pepe represents the next big leap in meme utility. In the fast-paced world of crypto, the next bull run may not be about the biggest names, but the ones that blend innovation, narrative, and search interest into one irresistible package.
Watch these three names closely. The Googles don’t lie.
