This sharp decline has led to significant selling pressure, prompting whales and investors to cash in on their profits.
A savvy trader recently capitalized on this market downturn, netting a profit of $15.62 million from trades involving Mog (MOG) and Pepe (PEPE), according to on-chain analytics firm Lookonchain.

In addition to PEPE, the trader bought 7.1 trillion MOG tokens for $262,500 in 2023 and recently sold 786 billion MOG tokens for $1.29 million between May and August 2024. This sale resulted in an impressive profit of $11.22 million.
Despite the significant sell-off, the trader still holds 420.42 billion PEPE tokens and 6.3 trillion MOG tokens in a new wallet.
