A cryptocurrency trader has managed to execute a series of successful consecutive trades on a meme-inspired cryptocurrency, $POPCAT, to make over $1 million in profit since August 20 without losing a single trade.
According to data form the Solana blockchain shared by on-chain analysis service Lookonchain, the trader took advantage of short- to medium-term price swings on the cryptocurrency’s price to execute eight successful trades that netted them $1 million in less than two months.
Various traders have managed to make millions off of memecoin investments this year, with one trader, identified on-chain by the alias “sundayfunday.sol,” turning a $72,000 investment into a staggering $30 million within just three days trading a little-known cryptocurrency.
As reported, a patient’ cryptocurrency trader has recently managed to turn around $8,600 into over $1.26 million after investing in a little-known cryptocurrency and holding onto it for two months to secure their gain of 144x.
The trader’s gains came after another cryptocurrency trader managed to turn 500 SOL tokens worth around $67.000 into 5,789 SOL worth over $780,000 in just 15 minutes after managing to “snipe” a large portion of a newly launched cryptocurrency’s supply.
There have also been significant losses, with a Solana trader losing $37,000 while speculating on a memecoin over their emotional trading pattern. It’s worth noting memecoin are extremely speculative and volatile, and while stories of successful trades often surface, those of unsuccessful trades are often buried.
