An unknown trader made $651,000 using only 1.31 ETH, worth $2,931, to buy Snowman, a memecoin launched on the Ethereum blockchain.

What Happened: An unidentified trader spent 1.31 Ether ETH/USD to purchase 386.94 trillion tokens of the Snowman memecoin, accounting for 43.5% of the total supply. The trader then sold 72 trillion SNOW for 53.4 Ethereum tokens worth $119,000.
