Lookonchain
A single on-chain wallet turned roughly $21,000 in capital into $3.78 million in combined profit across two memecoins, $ZCAT and $STONK.
The $ZCAT position was bought for $1,300 and is now worth $2.17 million, a 1,626x return. The trader sold 8.96 million of 24.52 million tokens for $55,000 and still holds 15.57 million tokens valued at $2.12 million. The $STONK position was sized at $19,700 in cost basis and generated $1.61 million in profit on an 82x return, with 34.62 million of 44.43 million tokens already sold for $411,000 and 9.8 million still held at $1.22 million.
Both positions remain partially open. Outcomes of this scale are rare but structurally possible in memecoin markets, where thin floats and limited liquidity let small positions compound disproportionately when a token catches a speculative rotation.
