4 Coins to Watch as Elizabeth Warren Presses DOJ on Binance and Trump Links

Senator Elizabeth Warren's recent letter to the U.S. Department of Justice asking for answers about Binance's settlement and alleged political ties has added to the uncertainty in the exchange world, making investors more interested in where to put their money and which tokens might survive the fallout.

In the middle of all the regulatory commotion, four projects stand out to traders: Little Pepe ($LILPEPE), Ethena (ENA), Kaspa (KAS), and Arbitrum (ARB). Little Pepe is the most popular because of its exponential presale momentum and utility-first pitch.

How the Warren–DOJ Story Changes the Playbook

Warren's investigation into how the DOJ works with Binance might lead to regulatory changes that could influence liquidity, listing windows, and exchange trust. In such a market, traders frequently shift their focus to (a) presale or off-exchange allocations that don't depend on a single CEX listing, (b) protocols that have real on-chain utility, and (c) lower-cap tokens that still have a chance to go up in value. Little Pepe ticks two boxes: it lets you into the presale and has a working Layer-2 story. On the other hand, Ethena, Kaspa, and Arbitrum offer varying combinations of utility, stability, and exposure on-chain. coindesk.com+1

Little Pepe ($LILPEPE): Presale Power and Meme-Utility Momentum

Little Pepe is at the top of the list because it combines the popularity of meme coins with real-world infrastructure. The project is now at Stage 13 of its presale, with a price of $0.0022. It has raised over $26 million, and rounds are selling out quickly. Little Pepe is an Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 that focuses on meme token launches. It has very low fees, protections against snipers, no transaction tax, and a Meme Launchpad that makes it valuable beyond just hype. Early presale entry is still a good choice for traders who want an asymmetric upside when regulatory news is all over the place.

Ethena (ENA): A Stablecoin-Adjacent Play with DeFi Roots

Ethena is a different kind of pick. It is a crypto-native dollar protocol that has USDe and savings primitives that are meant to give DeFi users a dollar-like instrument. When there is a lot of talk about regulations, investors looking for return and utility generally switch to protocols with a clear product-market fit and strong use cases.

The market price of Ethena is approximately $0.65, and opinions are varied. Predictions say the price will change in the short term as the markets respond to macro and on-chain movements. If people become more interested in stability and income, Ethena's dollar-linked architecture could do well. CoinMarketCap+1.

Kaspa (KAS): Layered Throughput and Everyday Use Cases

Kaspa is a high-throughput, DAG-based chain improving at minimal fees and speedy finality. Its on-chain activity and developer upgrades have kept it popular with builders and dealers looking for scalable options to outdated Layer-1 networks.

At the time of writing, KAS trades for about $0.082, which makes it a cheap token for traders who want to get in on on-chain growth without the enormous market-cap drag of bigger names. Because Kaspa's tokens are so affordable, even little increases in use can lead to significant percentage gains.

Arbitrum (ARB): Scalable Smart-Contract Exposure with Layer-2 Adoption

Arbitrum is still one of the best Layer-2 solutions for Ethereum. It has a lot of liquidity and developer activity, which makes it great for DeFi and smart contracts. As more people start to use Layer-2, ARB is a more direct bet on Ethereum scalability than other Layer-1 bets.

Price predictions and technical calls put ARB below $1, but it might increase if DeFi and NFT flows keep moving to optimistic rollups. Current market models put ARB between $0.45 and $0.50 soon, but if adoption and general crypto attitude improve, it could go much higher. ARB is a good hold for investors who want to witness on-chain action with less risk. CoinCodex+1

Conclusion

Elizabeth Warren's lobbying on the DOJ about Binance shows how quickly regulation changes may change the flow of cryptocurrencies. Little Pepe stands out for presale momentum and a hybrid meme-utility roadmap for traders looking for candidates who might do well in that market.

While Ethena, Kaspa, and Arbitrum each give you a different view on stability, throughput, and Layer-2 adoption, respectively. Little Pepe is the best speculative stock to monitor if you want to make much money before Q4 volatility settles down. However, it should only be a small part of a risk-managed portfolio.
