A cryptocurrency trader recently became famous for turning a $15 investment into a staggering $135 million in just 1.2 days thanks to the soaring value of a new token called Terminus.

While such huge gains are rare in the volatile cryptocurrency market, the right timing can lead to significant gains, although most investors do not experience such unexpected gains.

Instead of trading popular coins like Bitcoin or Ethereum, this trader is investing in Terminus, a meme-themed cryptocurrency that has seen its price rise by more than 10,000%.

After initially purchasing 3.46 million tokens at a price of one cent on September 8, the trader’s holdings have grown as the token’s price has risen. At the time of writing, Terminus is trading at $0.4072, bringing its market cap to 41.7 million.

This surge in value gained momentum after social media buzz linked Elon Musk’s Mars plans to the token, leading to a rapid increase in value. However, these volatile gains are often short-lived, with concerns over liquidity and potential price declines once the hype subsides.
