In a surprising turn of events, a recently launched crypto token made an incredible impact, defying the odds of a crashing market.
Despite Bitcoin’s dominance in the crypto world, this new token saw an astonishing 5,500% surge, netting millions for an investor who had placed a modest bet.
A trader, who invested only $90 in the newly minted Solana-based meme coin, Unicorn Fart Dust (UFD), witnessed his investment skyrocket into a $3.25 million profit in just two days. This shocking gain, reported by the popular crypto page Lookonchain, marked an unbelievable return of 36,067 times his original investment.

Currently priced at $0.1666, UFD maintains a market cap of $165 million after a 42% increase in the past 24 hours. The token also boasts a trading volume of over $53 million, indicating its growing demand.
This event is just one of many instances where the crypto market defies expectations. In another case, a young investor’s attempt at a pump-and-dump meme coin was met with a massive 71,000% rise, proving once again the unpredictable nature of crypto trading.
Solana (SOL) has gone down by 6% in the past week and although the token has recovered in the past 24 hours, technical indicators favor a bearish outlook. Trading volumes have gone up by nearly 18% as bulls managed to reverse an early sell-off during the Asian session. However, meme coins, an important segment of […]
