In an impressive display of trading savvy, a trader turned a mere investment of $1,795 into an astonishing $873,000 in just two days by leveraging the volatile nature of the new MEMEcoin, $Ban.
This coin was launched by Michael Bouhanna using his wallet address “5W7U…b3cV,” which he once publicly acknowledged before deleting the post.
Bouhanna, who had previously invested in numerous MEMEcoins without seeing significant returns, decided to create $Ban, reportedly earning over $1 million through a single insider wallet.
The funds for “5W7U…b3cV” originated from another wallet, “EwVB…mD2,” known for its extensive trading in MEMEcoins but with minimal profits.
On October 22, “EwVB…mD2” engaged in trading over ten different MEMEcoins, leading Bouhanna to use the associated wallet to launch $Ban, aiming to capitalize on the hype.
Despite burning all 37.36 million $Ban tokens in his wallet amid market pressure, evidence shows that he used an insider wallet to purchase $Ban, yielding significant profits.
The trader initially bought 36.27 million $Ban with just 10.2 SOL (around $1,795) and quickly sold off portions during price surges, demonstrating a strategic approach rather than panic selling. After selling 12 million $Ban for approximately $56,900, the coin’s value plummeted by nearly 90%. However, instead of selling off the remainder in a panic, the trader patiently waited for another price surge.
Over time, he sold additional portions, ultimately cashing out a total of 6.13 million $Ban for about $80,700, while still holding onto 18.13 million $Ban, valued at roughly $734,000. This calculated approach resulted in profits exceeding $1 million, showcasing the potential for smart trading strategies in the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies.
