Crypto Whale Nets 18,000% Gain on Moonpig—Turning $7.6K into $1.4M in Just 3 Weeks

Another day, another degen trade paying off against all odds. This time, a single trader flipped a modest $7,600 into a jaw-dropping $1.4 million on Moonpig—all within 21 days. The kicker? This comes hot on the heels of their previous Trump-themed token play. Guess the ’high-risk, high-reward’ mantra isn’t just for hedge funds with other people’s money.

Moonpig’s surge—whether fueled by memetic magic or actual utility—shows crypto’s appetite for volatility hasn’t waned. And while traditional investors fret over basis points, this whale just schooled Wall Street on exponential gains. Cue the inevitable FOMO.

Of course, for every moon mission, there’s a graveyard of rekt portfolios. But hey, that’s the beauty of crypto: where else can you turn lunch money into a mansion and still pretend it’s ’research’?

  • Trader turned $7.6K into $1.4M by holding 16.4M Moonpig tokens without selling any.
  • Wallet created in April spent $1M on TRUMP before converting $7.6K to Moonpig.
  • No red flags on wallet though one linked address showed more sales than purchases.

A crypto wallet labeled “4ZYMA…nSD” has recorded an unrealized gain of over $1.4 million from a single trade involving Moonpig (MOONPIG) tokens. The trade began with an investment of $7,619 on May 2 and was confirmed by on-chain tracking platforms Lookonchain and GMGN.

The trading activity began on April 5 when the wallet was created. On the same day, the address was used to purchase $1 million worth of TRUMP tokens. Then, on May 2, the wallet exchanged 600 TRUMP tokens, worth approximately $7,619 at the time, for 16.44 million Moonpig tokens. This placed the entry price for Moonpig at an average of $0.00046339 per token.

By May 23, the price of Moonpig had surged to around $0.08438. With no tokens sold from the initial position, the wallet’s holdings now reflect an unrealized gain of over $1.4 million. The return on investment stands at approximately 181 times the initial value, or an 18,100% increase.

Trading Pattern and Portfolio Allocation

GMGN’s wallet analysis shows that the entire $1.4 million position is still unsold, and Moonpig accounts for 100% of the user’s exposure in this trade. The trader’s performance log shows a seven-day realized profit of +4.22%, amounting to $41,400, although that figure is tied to other transactions.

The same wallet has also engaged in high-volume trades involving Wrapped SOL (WSOL) and TRUMP. On-chain records show over $1.3 million was used to acquire WSOL. As of May 23, the TRUMP position had been exited entirely, leading to an additional realized profit of $43,500. No further Moonpig token movements have been recorded from the wallet, suggesting the position remains intact.

Market Movement and Price Impact

Data shows that Moonpig’s price increase began steadily and entered a sharp rally between May 18 and May 23. This rise aligns with the period during which the wallet’s Moonpig position significantly appreciated. 

So far, the trader’s activity has not set off major sell pressure on Moonpig, as no tokens have been moved or offloaded from the wallet. Due to the size of the holding, any future liquidation of this position could have a large impact on the token’s price.

Address Monitoring and Security Flags

The security team at GMGN detects no threats from blacklisting or phishing linked to this mail address. However, the tracking system found that one connected wallet has a pattern of selling more tokens than it acquired during separate trading activities.

Trading on Moonpig demonstrates that on-chain analysis can easily detect large activities that quickly change the value of wallets. Although the hold is not yet over, the transaction still reflects a remarkable profit level in the current crypto trade
