How This Trader Turned $310 Into Almost $1.5 Million Trading Solana Meme Coins
The cryptocurrency market has recently experienced a significant surge, with Bitcoin (BTC) approaching the $57,000 mark, a price that was last seen at the end of 2021.
Numerous alternative coins, including newly emerged meme coins, are also experiencing remarkable growth, reaching unprecedented highs. One such example is dogwifhat (WIF), which has surged by around 50% in a single day, reaching an all-time high of $0.55, according to CoinGecko’s data.
This surge has provided substantial gains to traders who entered the market early. According to Lookonchain, an individual who invested only $310 worth of Solana (SOL) to purchase 2.58 million WIF tokens is now sitting on paper profits of approximately $1.4 million.
The blockchain analytics platform also unveiled another case where a "smart trader" spent 14,000 SOL ($1.54 million) to acquire 4 million WIF tokens since February 16. Due to the meme coin's price appreciation, the current unrealized profit has grown to $582,000.
This same trader had previously bought 3.98 million WIF for 5,000 SOL and later sold the holdings for 6,443 SOL, resulting in a gain of approximately $150,000.
The Solana-based meme coin emerged at the end of 2023 and quickly gained attention within the industry due to its exponential price surge. It jumped from a modest $0.002 in mid-December to over $0.30 by the end of the month.
The meme coin's popularity extended to social media platforms, and even Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX, playfully tweeted about WIF, sharing a photo of himself wearing a hat as a nod to the token's name and logo.
