Trader Achieves Over 99,000% Gain in Eight Hours with Memecoin
A shrewd trader turned an investment of $2,275 in Solana (SOL) tokens into a staggering profit of $2.26 million within just eight hours.
Operating under the alias ‘sundayfunday.sol,’ the trader achieved an extraordinary gain on their initial investment of 13 SOL into the newly-launched memecoin 1DOL. Memecoins like Dogwifhat (WIF) and Pepe (PEPE) have gained immense attention since the Bitcoin halving, despite lacking underlying utility.
The trader, also a significant pre-sale participant in the Book of Memes (BOME) token, initially invested over $72,000 worth of SOL into BOME tokens, which surged to over $40 million at its peak.
Despite cashing out some holdings, the trader remains the largest BOME holder, having sold 530 billion BOME for $7.66 million and retaining 894 billion BOME valued at $10.5 million.

The 1DOL memecoin, launched on May 18, peaked at $0.018 before plummeting to its current $0.04 mark, experiencing over a 43% drop in the past 24 hours. This volatility has sparked allegations of insider trading and money laundering within the crypto community.
With over 99% of the trader’s holdings in the Solana-based WIF memecoin, valued at over $15.8 million, the trader’s portfolio reflects the growing disillusionment of the younger generation with the traditional fiscal system. Another trader saw immense success with PEPE memecoin, turning a $3,000 investment into $46 million amid the GameStop saga resurgence.
These astounding gains with memecoins signal a generational shift in investment attitudes, with younger investors seeking alternative opportunities amidst economic uncertainties.
