In the dazzling world of cryptocurrencies, notable wins and losses are the order of the day. But sometimes there are stories that surprise even experienced traders. Like the story of a Solana (SOL) trader who turned his $49,000 investment into a staggering $2 million in just five hours.
A spectacular trade with TORI
The trader, whose identity has not yet been revealed, posted an unprecedented gain of almost 4,000% with TORI, a recently launched meme coin. This impressive achievement started with the purchase of 261.4 million TORI tokens, after an initial investment of 344 SOL. These SOL came from two separate withdrawals from Binance, made on April 25 and 26, to two new wallet addresses, Lookonchain reports.
The story took a turn when the TORI tokens were transferred to multiple addresses shortly after the purchase. This behavior has sparked discussion on X (formerly Twitter) and among market analysts about the possibility of insider trading. The speed and timing of these trades suggest that there could be more going on than a lucky trade.
Challenges with liquidity and risk
While the numbers are spectacular, the trader now faces significant liquidity challenges. Realizing profits from this transaction is complex due to the low liquidity of the TORI token. You can’t just sell that many tokens of a small cryptocurrency. On the Raydium exchange, where the TORI tokens were traded, liquidity is limited, meaning that converting these tokens into hard dollars is not even guaranteed. So the trader still has work to do to really realize his profits.
At the same time, investing in such small memecoins is extremely risky. While such trading can yield huge profits, the potential for losses is just as high. Traders should be aware of these risks and act cautiously. This anonymous Solana trader’s story is a reminder of the volatile nature of the crypto market, where spectacular gains and losses go hand in hand.
