Skip Solana for now: 3 more bullish tokens to consider as FTX, Alameda transfer 190K SOL

According to blockchain analyst @EmberCN on Twitter, approximately six hours before the post on August 12, 2025, FTX/Alameda redeemed 190,000 SOL tokens—worth about $34.09 million—from staking pools.

The tokens were spread across 29 addresses. This continues a pattern seen almost every month between the 10th and 15th, where staked SOL is withdrawn and moved, likely preparing for liquidation or exchange deposits.

With this ongoing activity casting a shadow over Solana, investors may want to hold off on SOL exposure for now and focus on tokens with far stronger upside potential.

Three standouts are Little Pepe (LILPEPE), Ripple (XRP), and TRON (TRX).

Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The best bullish token to consider

Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is more than a typical meme coin—it’s a next-gen Layer 2 blockchain token built with ultra-low fees, lightning-fast transactions, and security standards that rank among the best in DeFi. 

With 26.5% of its 100 billion total supply allocated for presale, the project’s momentum is undeniable. Stage ten sold out quickly, and stage eleven—priced at $0.0020 per token—is already underway, with over $20.18 million raised.

LILPEPE has already secured a CoinMarketCap listing ahead of its launch and is preparing to debut on two top centralized exchanges (CEXs).

The team also has its sights set on listing with the largest exchange in the world, with preparations reportedly complete.

Analysts see LILPEPE as a candidate for a 120x surge once it hits the open market. LILPEPE rides the waves of meme culture while also packing real blockchain-tech punch.

It just passed a CertiK audit with a strong score of 95.49%. That number isn’t just a pretty face; it shows the project really cares about trust and security—super important in a market that flips on a dime.

The squad behind LILPEPE has been quietly crushing it in the meme-coin world and doesn’t plan to slow down.

The roadmap is packed with plans for community events, growing the ecosystem, and landing big-name partnerships. It looks set to claim the meme scene and lead Layer 2 adoption at the same time.

Solana has some rough patches because of whale trading linked to FTX and Alameda, but LILPEPE is in a presale phase that looks like a low-risk opportunity.

The momentum is climbing, and with listings on big exchanges just around the corner, we could see some instant price fireworks.

Ripple (XRP): Strong technical setup and surging price action

XRP is another token that stands out in a market clouded by recent Solana activity. Priced at around $3.29, XRP has delivered a 78.54% gain in the past week and a 403.57% jump over the past month.

High trading activity has reinforced investor confidence, with liquidity deep enough to absorb large orders without destabilizing prices.

This combination of technical and volume strength makes XRP one of the safest bullish plays while SOL faces market pressure.

TRON (TRX): Steady growth and market resilience

TRON is staying steady, even though the market is still feeling shaky. It’s trading around $0.3412, well above the 20-day moving average of $0.3237.  

On August 9, we saw $2.95 million move from exchanges into personal wallets, the kind of move that usually means folks are ready to hold TRX for the long run.

That’s often a sign we could see the price push even higher. TRX shook off a $1.4 billion sell-off from large accounts and didn’t drop sharply, showing there’s still strong depth and a loyal group of investors behind it.

Plus, open interest in TRON futures climbed 6% to $522.10 million, which means more traders are jumping in and feeling confident.

LILPEPE leads the bullish trio

• Little Pepe (LILPEPE) offers a rare combination of meme appeal, blockchain utility, and early-stage presale access with the potential for exponential gains post-listing.
  
• Ripple (XRP) is riding a surge in price with technical patterns pointing toward further breakouts.
  
• TRON (TRX) demonstrates resilience, steady growth, and a loyal investor base.

For now, with Solana’s price action at risk from repeated whale movements, this trio represents a more attractive set of bullish plays.

And among them, LILPEPE’s presale positioning, exchange listing plans, and unique Layer 2 technology put it at the top of the watchlist for investors seeking the next big move.
