How a crypto investor made $540,000 profit in an hour
Yesterday's on-chain data showed some intriguing developments, particularly in the realm of meme cryptocurrencies.
It appears that there may have been insider trading around a newly launched meme coin called EgyptCat (SPHYNX). According to on-chain data, a crypto whale quickly purchased a significant amount of SPHYNX tokens right after the project was launched, a practice known as “sniping”.
The suspicious aspect arises from the high transaction fee paid by this whale, signaling a potentially strategic move.
Within seconds of the altcoin launch, the whale acquired SPHYNX tokens, spending 120 SOL . The wallet subsequently sold these tokens for 3,257 SOL, resulting in a whopping profit of $540,000 in just one hour.
