Overall market sentiment is currently rather bearish, with major assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) experiencing significant declines.
This sharp decline has led to significant selling pressure, prompting whales and investors to cash in on their profits.
A savvy trader recently capitalized on this market downturn, netting a profit of $15.62 million from trades involving Mog (MOG) and Pepe (PEPE), according to on-chain analytics firm Lookonchain.
Lookonchain reported on that this trader had acquired 515.42 billion PEPE tokens for $861,000 from KuCoin in 2023. By selling 95 billion PEPE tokens, the trader made a profit of $1.08 million. The remaining PEPE holdings are currently valued at $4.18 million, totaling a profit of $4.4 million.
In addition to PEPE, the trader bought 7.1 trillion MOG tokens for $262,500 in 2023 and recently sold 786 billion MOG tokens for $1.29 million between May and August 2024. This sale resulted in an impressive profit of $11.22 million.
Despite the significant sell-off, the trader still holds 420.42 billion PEPE tokens and 6.3 trillion MOG tokens in a new wallet.
While Bitcoin continues to capture attention with its strong 2025 outlook, several altcoins may be facing near-term turbulence.
BlackRock is making another assertive move into digital assets, quietly expanding its crypto portfolio with sizable purchases of both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Ethereum appears to be entering a pivotal stage, with subtle shifts across its ecosystem hinting at a potential breakout.
Ethereum could one day surpass Bitcoin in value, not through speculation, but by anchoring a new kind of financial system, according to a key blockchain executive.
