Traders $2.2K investment in SOL Skyrockets to $2.26M in Just 8Hours with to New Memecoin
A trader managed to turn an investment of $2,275 in Solana tokens into a whopping $2.26 million profit in just eight hours. This trader’s wallet, known as “sundayfunday.sol,” made an incredible gain of over 993 times on their initial investment in a newly-launched memecoin called 1DOL. Memecoins like Dogwifhat (WIF) and Pepe (PEPE) have been gaining attention lately, despite not having any real use beyond being speculative investments. These memecoins have reached multibillion-dollar valuations and have made millionaires out of some investors.
The trader’s success is not a one-time thing, as they also invested heavily in another token called Book of Memes (BOME), buying over $72,000 worth of tokens during the presale. At its peak, this investment was worth over $40 million. Even after selling some of their holdings for a profit, the trader still holds a significant amount of BOME and remains the largest individual holder of this token.

The memecoin 1DOL, which was launched on May 18, saw its value peak at $0.018 before dropping to its current value of $0.004. This represents a decrease of over 43% in just 24 hours, highlighting the volatility of memecoin trading according to CoinMarketCap data.
The success of these memecoins has raised concerns about insider trading and money laundering, especially considering the lack of a website and a banned X account associated with the 1DOL token. Additionally, the low liquidity of the trading pool, currently valued at $291,000 in SOL tokens, could make it difficult for the trader to cash out their profits without causing the price of 1DOL to drop even further.
The fascination with memecoins reflects a growing disillusionment
The fascination with memecoins reflects a growing disillusionment among younger investors with the traditional financial system. The trader holds the majority of their assets in the Solana-based WIF memecoin, with holdings worth over $15.8 million. At its peak, this investment was valued at over $42 million. However, there has been a significant drop in value over the past month, with the wallet’s worth decreasing by over $47 million.

Recently, another trader saw immense success by turning a $3,000 investment into $46 million by trading the Pepe memecoin. This success story, along with the resurgence of the GameStop saga, illustrates the influence of younger investors who are disenchanted with the current financial system.
