Kaspa (KAS) Falling Behind? 3 New Altcoins Taking Over in 2025

If you are a Kaspa holder or you are following KAS price action, you’ve surely noticed this innovative altcoin is falling behind meme coins and other cryptos in the past year or so.

Kaspa (KAS) has been lagging behind meme coins and other cryptocurrencies in recent times, with its price remaining stagnant in the $0.10 – $0.20 range for over 12 months. Despite its innovative nature, Kaspa's price action has not yet reflected its potential.

However, there are several new altcoins that have been making waves in 2025, showing signs of outperforming Kaspa (KAS) in terms of price appreciation and market attention. These altcoins combine elements of meme coins with utility narratives, offering a unique proposition to crypto enthusiasts.

Here are 3 new altcoins that could potentially leave Kaspa (KAS) behind in 2025:

Wall Street Pepe is a new cryptocurrency that combines the viral appeal of the Pepe the Frog meme with elements from the financial world, particularly Wall Street trading dynamics. The native token WEPE is currently in the final stages of its presale phase, with a huge launch planned in February. And yes, the presale has already raised almost $55 million in around a month’s time.

The project focuses on giving retail investors access to tools and resources that were typically limited to institutional traders. Its ecosystem includes trading signals and alerts for WEPE holders, helping them navigate the cryptocurrency markets with professional-grade analysis. There’s also a vibrant community chat room where traders share strategies and discuss market trends, creating a collaborative environment for everyone involved.

One of the core features is the staking mechanism, where users can lock their tokens to earn rewards. The project also runs weekly trading competitions, adding an element of friendly competition to the trading experience. Wall Street Pepe has created exclusive insider trading groups where members can share insights and strategies.

The current price of WEPE stands at $0.0003665. For comparison, Pepe Unchained reached $0.07 after launch with over $400 million market cap.

Solaxy is a Layer 2 scaling solution specifically designed for the Solana blockchain. The native token SOLX is in presale and has raised over $13 million since December, with another major launch planned for Q1 2025. The current price is $0.00161, with increases scheduled every 48 hours during the presale phase.

Its primary goal is to address the network congestion and scalability issues that can arise due to high transaction volumes on Solana, which, despite being known for its speed, can experience bottlenecks during peak usage. This was particularly visible in the last few days as Solana network faced these issues once Trump and Melania meme coins were launched.

Popular YouTuber ‘ClayBro’ posted a video to his 135k followers in which he estimated that SOLX token actually got a huge catalyst with the launch of Trump’s token.

Solaxy processes most transactions off the main Solana chain, significantly reducing network congestion and minimizing transaction failures. A standout feature is its multi-chain infrastructure, connecting Solana and Ethereum ecosystems for seamless asset transfers between networks.

The platform uses advanced rollup technology to bundle multiple transactions into single blocks on Solana’s mainnet, reducing costs and increasing processing speed. It also includes real-time monitoring tools and predictive analytics to anticipate and prevent network congestion before it happens.

Mind of Pepe is a new cryptocurrency that was launched in January and is currently in its presale phase. The project aims to combine aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) with decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3.

Mind of Pepe features an AI-powered system that automatically analyzes market data and social media activity to generate trading insights for users. All insights are shared through an intuitive dashboard exclusively available to MIND token holders. The system employs machine learning to continuously improve its predictions and market analysis capabilities.

The project maintains an active community through its token-gated access system, where members receive exclusive market insights and opportunities. A significant portion of tokens is reserved for the AI system’s operations, including launching new tokens and executing automated trades. Like many modern crypto projects, Mind of Pepe includes a staking mechanism to reward long-term holders and maintain ecosystem stability.
