This isn’t the first time a meme token has delivered massive returns. In September, another investor turned $815 in SOL into $9.4 million within 17 days by buying MOODENG tokens. In October, a trader transformed $727 into $2.42 million in just four days with the GOAT meme token.
However, billionaire and crypto advocate Mark Cuban has cautioned that meme tokens are inherently risky, often resembling “long-term rug pull schemes.”
