This trader quickly turned $150 into $80,000
Whales are investors with wallets large enough to influence altcoin prices. They usually take positions at the right time and prefer small-volume altcoins. In one of the most recent trades, a hit whale investor quickly turned $150 into $80,000 with positions in Eye (EYE), Kermit (KERMIT) and Pepechain (PC).
A look at the on-chain data shows that the whale collected 8.7 million PCs at $0.000024 more than a month ago. The whale later closed its position when the price climbed to $0.06. He earned $55,500 from this trade with a 226x return. In the other transaction, it raised 849,000 EYE at $0.00034 about two weeks ago. EYE took a profit that the price reached $0.02 and earned a total return of $19,300…
At KERMIT, which took the last good position, it has made a profit of the past $6,000. Whale started this transaction with 9 million KERMIT while hovering at $0.00005 price. He then closed his entire position when the price reached $0.001. As a result, in about 1.5 months, EYE earned up to $80,000 with KERMIT and PC. The interesting thing is that the whale started this journey with only $150.
