<p class="is-style-lead">An unknown trader spent about $1,170 in Solana to buy 8.18 million Dogwifhat tokens and then sold them for $142,000, which is now valued at $23.2 million.</p> 
<p>Lookonchain analysts say the investor purchased tokens five days after the trading began. When Dogwifhat (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/Dogwifhat/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WIF</a>) grew tenfold, the trader decided to sell the savings for 2,031 Solana (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/Solana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SOL</a>) tokens, worth about $142,000, for a net profit of approximately $141,000.</p>

<p>Since listing WIF on exchanges, including Binance, the asset has grown tenfold. On March 14, it <a href="https://crypto.news/wif-reaches-new-ath-as-meme-coins-gain-bullish-momentum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reached</a> a new all-time high, approaching $3.45, according to <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/CoinMarketCap/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CoinMarketCap</a>. For comparison, in December 2023, it was trading around $0.15.</p> 
<p>According to CoinGecko, Dogwifhat has become the fourth meme coin by market capitalization, after giants such as Dogecoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/Dogecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DOGE</a>), Shiba Inu (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/Shiba-Inu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SHIB</a>) and Pepe (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/Pepe/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PEPE</a>). Over the past 24 hours, the asset has grown by more than 40%.</p>

<p>The trader could have earned $23.2 million by selling tokens near an all-time high by holding the asset for several months.</p> 
<p>This is not the first time investors have made large sums from meme coins. Earlier, analysts drew attention to a trader who turned an investment in WIF of $1,800 into $11 million.</p>

<p>The growth of meme coins coincided with another wave of popularity for DOGE — its capitalization has reached $25 billion. As a result, new meme coins, launched in late 2023, before the start of the bull period in the crypto market, are generating significant returns for early investors.</p>
