Trader Books 6,208% Profit in Just Four Days on MELANIA Memecoin: Lookonchain

Blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain says one crypto trader is looking at multi-million dollar profits after trading the official memecoin of Melania Trump, wife of US President Donald Trump.

According to Lookonchain, the trader scooped up 5.2 million Melania ( MELANIA ) at just $0.13 per coin right after the digital asset’s launch on Sunday – the day before Trump’s presidential inauguration.

Four days later, the trader had sold off every MELANIA token for a gain of 6,208% on the initial investment of $688,000, racking in a $42.7 million profit.

“This guy has sold all MELANIA, making a total profit of $42.7 million (62x)! He spent 2,500 SOL ($688,000) to buy 5.2 million MELANIA at $0.13, and sold all of them at an average price of $8.34 for $43.4 million, making a profit of $42.7 million, a 62x return!”
