As the broader crypto market enters a renewed bullish phase in Q4 2025, both institutional and retail investors are pouring into high-performing Layer 1s and early-stage altcoins. Among the top movers, Solana (SOL) has reclaimed attention with strong price action and growing on-chain activity. Meanwhile, a new Ethereum Layer 2 meme coin, Layer Brett (LBRETT), has become the surprise breakout of the month, raising over $3.5 million in its ongoing presale.
With the Solana price pushing toward a major resistance zone, and LBRETT drawing in thousands of early supporters, both assets are gaining momentum. But the question for traders remains, which one has more upside left?
Solana (SOL) continues to hold a strong position in the altcoin market, trading around $238 at the time of writing. After recovering from earlier market dips in 2025, Solana has benefited from renewed interest in its fast, low-cost blockchain, particularly among NFT projects, DeFi developers, and institutional players.
The network’s reliability and developer-friendly tools have helped it remain one of the most used Layer 1 platforms, even as newer competitors emerge. Analysts now see the next major resistance level at $250, with potential for a breakout toward $280 if momentum holds through Q4.
While many long-term holders remain confident in Solana’s continued growth, traders seeking exponential gains are starting to explore early-stage alternatives. The upside for SOL may still be promising, but the room for 50x returns is more likely to be found in lower-cap tokens entering the market now, like Layer Brett.
While Solana price action is encouraging, some traders are looking further down the market cap ladder in search of higher upside, and many are finding it in Layer Brett, a new Ethereum Layer 2 meme coin currently in presale. Priced at a fixed $0.0058, LBRETT has already raised over $3.5 million in just a few weeks.
What’s drawing attention is not just the meme coin energy, but also the actual utility packed into the project. Layer Brett runs on an Ethereum Layer 2 network, meaning users benefit from faster transactions and drastically reduced gas fees. The token is also already offering live staking, with an APY currently sitting around 735%, making it one of the most rewarding passive income opportunities available in presale.
Users can stake directly through MetaMask or Trust Wallet with no KYC required, and rewards are distributed based on the duration and size of each stake. The project has also outlined a roadmap that includes NFT integration, gamified staking features, multichain compatibility, and a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens — helping support long-term scarcity and demand.
A $1 million community giveaway is currently active to reward early participants and build strong social media momentum across X (formerly Twitter) and Telegram.
Solana remains one of the most trusted names in crypto, and with its price trending toward $250, it may continue delivering solid performance. However, for traders targeting explosive returns, Layer Brett may present the kind of opportunity that only early-stage tokens can offer.
With Ethereum Layer 2 infrastructure, high-yield staking, and rapidly growing presale demand, LBRETT is positioning itself as a top candidate for 2025’s next big meme coin breakout. Those looking for 20x–50x potential may want to keep it firmly on their radar.
