Memecoins are gaining traction in 2024, particularly those based on Solana, capturing significant attention from investors.
One notable case involves an investor who achieved remarkable success with the Solana memecoin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT).

The investor purchased 15.15 million GOAT tokens for 5 SOL, which was equivalent to $727 at the time.
Following a dramatic surge in the token’s price, they sold 5.7 million GOAT for 5,949 SOL, approximately $930,000, while retaining 9.4 million GOAT valued at $1.4 million.
Should they decide to sell the remaining tokens, their total profit could reach $2.4 million.
