Crypto Trader Makes Over 23,000% Profit Trading Memecoins
Cryptocurrencies are renowned for their potential to generate extraordinary returns, though such opportunities are increasingly rare and come with significant risks.
On November 25, one trader turned a $6,300 investment into nearly $1.5 million in under an hour. The trader acquired 297 million FRIC, a memecoin launched by South Korean artist dricstudio, using 25 Solana ( SOL ). This purchase accounted for nearly 30% of FRIC’s total supply. Over the next hour, the trader executed over 50 transactions, selling 258 million FRIC and earning $1.18 million in Solana.
The remaining 39.08 million FRIC still in the trader’s wallet added to the staggering profit, with their value fluctuating from a high of $380,000 to a current estimate of $305,449. If fully liquidated, the total profit would reach $1.48 million—a 23,378% return. However, due to liquidity constraints, realizing the full value might not be feasible, as selling such a significant portion could impact the coin’s price.
This remarkable trade has sparked speculation about the trader’s identity. The ability to acquire such a large percentage of FRIC’s supply and execute rapid trades has led to theories of insider involvement or the use of an automated trading bot.
