In one of the most remarkable trades of the year, an anonymous trader has turned a modest $8,191 investment into over $4 million in just 22 days—a staggering 500x return. After more than four months of wallet inactivity, the trader made a sudden move by withdrawing 68.8 SOL from Binance. Just 22 days ago, they spent 54 SOL (~$8,191) to acquire 14.62 million LAUNCHCOIN when the token’s market cap was still under $500,000. Shortly after the purchase , LAUNCHCOIN began to skyrocket, eventually peaking at a market cap of over $300 million. The trader started realizing profits once the token hit a $200 million valuation. So far, they’ve sold 2.5 million LAUNCHCOIN for 3,465 SOL (~$617,000). Despite the sales, they still hold 12.12 million tokens, currently valued at around $3.5 million. Key Stats: Initial investment: $8,191 Total sold so far: $617,000 Remaining holdings: $3.5 million Total profit (realized + unrealized): $4.1 million This trade highlights the explosive potential of micro-cap tokens in early stages—but also the razor-thin window and high risk involved in capturing such gains.
