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.
The transaction not only resulted in a $116,000 profit (or 52.09 ETH), but also left the trader with 314.9 trillion SNOW (35.4% of the total supply), bringing the unrealized profit to $535,000. This amounts to a 220x return on the initial investment.
In just 19 hours, this trader made $651K with less than $3K on $SNOW, a gain of 220x!😱
