A remarkable event in the cryptocurrency market has unfolded as a crypto whale turned a modest investment into a massive fortune, showcasing the rewards of patience.
Blockchain data reveals that nine months ago, the whale purchased 40.81 million tokens of MLG, a relatively unknown memecoin, for just 17 SOL (approximately $2,600 at the time).
Over the months, the whale gradually sold 33.3 million tokens, generating $413,000 in profits. What’s even more notable is the value of the remaining 7.51 million MLG tokens, which now stands at approximately $962,000.
Combining realized and unrealized gains, the whale’s total profit reaches an astounding $1.3 million—a return of 529 times the initial investment.
However, speculation surrounds this success. Some allege that the whale might be part of MLG’s development team, potentially engaging in insider trading. These claims highlight the importance of caution when dealing with lesser-known altcoins, especially in cases where transparency is in question.
