The investor’s strategy was to acquire the meme coin within 48 hours of its launch, betting on an early price surge. Their gamble paid off when NEIRO saw a significant rally after being listed on Binance. The trader currently holds 4.599 billion Neiro tokens, valued at $1.82 million, marking a 100x return on their initial investment.

First Neiro entered the market in early August, with its momentum accelerating after Binance’s September 16 announcement of a spot listing for the token. This news sent NEIRO soaring over 700% in a few hours, boosting its market cap to $150 million. Since its launch, the token has surged 8,400%, trading at $0.00039.

However, the Binance listing sparked controversy, with confusion arising over the existence of multiple NEIRO tokens on the platform, especially since Binance already offered a futures product tied to a different NEIRO token.

The situation was further complicated by the emergence of similar tokens on various blockchains, leading to debates over which one represents the authentic Neiro, a dog tied to the legacy of the Dogecoin mascot.
