An anonymous memecoin trader has recently drawn attention for amassing millions in profits from several tokens, according to on-chain data shared by Lookonchain.
The trader’s gains include $2.19 million from PEPE, $1.7 million from SPX, $1.37 million from MOG, and $207,000 from WOJAK, all achieved within a relatively short timeframe.
The whale’s strategy involved taking advantage of SPX’s price jump by offloading a portion of the holdings and reallocating funds into other tokens like PEPE and WOJAK.
Records show that between December 2023 and May 2024, the trader bought 10.1 million SPX tokens for $57,000 and later sold 9.1 million of them, reaping $1.12 million from the sale while still holding some SPX worth around $636,000.
The accumulation of PEPE began in November 2023, resulting in a current stash of 318 billion tokens across two wallets, valued at $3.24 million, with significant unrealized gains. For MOG, trading started in January, when the whale bought a large quantity and has since earned $1.37 million in profits. Meanwhile, WOJAK holdings have steadily grown since December, with an investment of $248,000 now worth $455,000.
While the reasons behind the trader’s successful bets remain unclear, the feat stands out in a market where most memecoin investors struggle to turn a profit.
Cryptocurrency exchanges that introduce altcoins may find themselves trapped in an endless cycle of listing speculative tokens, particularly memecoins, warns Alex Leishman, CEO of River Financial.
Pi Coin has experienced a dramatic decline in value, shedding around 70% from its peak price.
A significant loss has been recorded by an Ethereum whale, as revealed by on-chain data shared by The Data Nerd.
The downturn in the digital currency market has finally caught up with Pepe Coin, as recent activity from one of its major whales reveals a large selloff, casting a further shadow on the token’s future.
