Speculators love to run the numbers on what small bets can turn into when the market rallies. This time, analysts are looking at Shiba Inu, Pepe coin, and the fast-rising Layer Brett ($LBRETT) presale. With the ETH price tipped to possibly hit $10,000 in the next major bull wave, the potential returns from these meme-driven projects are the hot topic.
Shiba Inu’s cult following
Shiba Inu still sits near the top of meme coin rankings thanks to its massive community and past performance. Back in 2021, SHIB delivered astonishing multiples creating overnight millionaires, yet its sheer size today makes another 400x move unlikely.
Analysts say SHIB could rise if the ETH price strengthens, but the days of parabolic runs may be behind it. Holders remain loyal, and Shiba Inu keeps rolling out new ecosystem tools, yet speculators admit the growth curve is flattening compared to younger coins.
Pepe coin’s volatility
The arrival of Pepe coin injected fresh life into meme trading, and PEPE surged early with its viral branding. But as quickly as it spiked, it corrected. Analysts see PEPE as a high-risk play: Capable of sudden rallies, but equally prone to sharp crashes. Forecasts suggest the ETH price rising could pull PEPE upward, yet its lack of utility leaves many traders cautious.
PEPE still delivers big volume on exchanges, but whether it can replicate SHIB’s longevity is an open question. Some traders like it as a short-term bet, but many now use PEPE as a swing-trading vehicle rather than a long-term hold, which limits its appeal when compared to newer options.
Layer Brett’s different setup
While SHIB and PEPE lean heavily on meme power alone, Layer Brett layers utility onto its branding. It’s built on Ethereum Layer 2 for cheaper and faster transactions, with a clear roadmap including NFTs, gamified staking, and cross-chain bridging. $LBRETT costs just $0.0058, and funds raised are already approaching $4M.
At the time of writing, staking returns hover near 660% APY, still in the hundreds of percent at the moment, but designed to taper as more holders stake. That tapering creates urgency, rewarding early participants with the highest yields.
Accessibility is another angle in its favour: Buying $LBRETT takes only a connected wallet and ETH or USDT, making entry frictionless for newcomers. Beyond mechanics, $LBRETT’s community traction is hard to ignore — followers number nearly 10k on both Telegram and X, over 25k on TikTok, and YouTube coverage grows by the day. Analysts highlight that building this much momentum before launch is rare, and it signals strong retail demand waiting to break out once tokens go live.
This combination of simplicity, hype, and practical utility sets Layer Brett apart from older meme coins. For many, it looks like the perfect mix of speculative upside and sustainable design, especially compared to the limited prospects of SHIB and PEPE.
What $100 could mean across the three coins
If the ETH price hits $10K, SHIB holders may see gradual gains, but the outsized multiples are gone. PEPE could rally hard, but volatility makes it unpredictable. In contrast, Layer Brett offers the low starting point and explosive community energy needed for 50x or even 100x scenarios if conditions align.
A small allocation here carries risk, but it’s exactly the kind of setup that speculative traders hunt for. With its presale already gaining traction and staking returns still massive, experts argue that even a modest $100 bet could deliver far more upside in Layer Brett than in its meme coin rivals. The coming months will reveal whether it cements itself as the breakout story of this cycle.
Stake early while rewards remain sky-high — Layer Brett is still in presale.
