Top 6 Cryptos to Buy Before Uptober: XRP, Ethereum, Little Pepe Lead Picks

Bulls have re-entered the market, with the BTC/USD pair breaking past $113,000 for the first time in September 2025. But Bitcoin isn’t the only coin traders are watching. October, a historically bullish month for crypto, is approaching, and several tokens are positioning themselves for outsized gains. Here are the top cryptos to keep on your radar.

Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Meme Coin Breaking Out of the Pack

If meme coins are the heartbeat of crypto culture, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) sends shockwaves across the market. Still in presale, the project has already raised over $24.9 million and sold over 15.4 billion tokens. Each token trades at $0.0021, more than double its starting price, with the launch price at $0.003. The team has also built momentum through visibility and community initiatives. A new Mega Giveaway has been announced, rewarding top buyers between stages 12 and 17 with over 15 ETH in prizes. With analysts projecting up to 100x ROI post-listing, LILPEPE isn’t just another frog on the blockchain. It’s becoming the face of meme coin innovation heading into October.

Ethereum (ETH): Decentralized Infrastructure for the Future

ETH remains the backbone of Web3 and DeFi innovation. Listing Ethereum ETFs in 2025 has brought pension funds and asset managers on board, becoming an institutional portfolio staple. Meanwhile, EIP-1559’s burn mechanism has removed over 4 million ETH from circulation since 2021, rendering Ethereum a deflationary asset. Layer 2 solutions are scaling Ethereum’s ecosystem, improving adoption and transactional efficiency. Combined with billions in value locked across DeFi, Ethereum remains one of the most stable yet growth-oriented assets for the coming bull cycle.

Ripple (XRP): Bulls Defend Key Levels

XRP recently bounced off the $2.73 level, showing strong buyer support. The token faces resistance at the 20-day EMA of $2.93 for now. A failure to hold above $2.73 could trigger a move toward $2.20, but if bulls push through the downtrend line, XRP could rally toward $3.40–$3.66. Despite short-term consolidation, XRP’s network utility in cross-border settlements and institutional partnerships anchors its long-term bullish case.
