Trader Makes Millions Trading Memecoins In 2 Years; Here’s How

Crypto News: At a time when volatility has been at the highest in the last two years in the entire history of the crypto market, a trader is said to have made huge fortunes trading shitcoins. Details of buying and selling price of various lesser known crypto tokens showed that this trader might have already made $2 million in profit over the last 2 years. Thanks to the crypto bill run since the beginning of 2023, the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) went up high enough to pull the overall market investors into profits after a prolonged bear run in 2022. However, profits realized by this trader are highly unusual considering the volatile environment in recent past.

The SOPR is the ratio of the realized value and the value at creation for cryptocurrencies. This essentially indicates whether the market is in profits or not at a given time by calculating price sold versus price paid. The Bitcoin SOPR is currently just under 1, above which the total BTC investors are effectively in profits. To put things into perspective, this anonymous investor gained an SOPR of 285 times and 117 times in his top two trades.
