An anonymous trader has made headlines by making a profit of $46 Million with PEPE within one year, equivalent to a 15,718x gain.

According to Lookonchain data, the trader acquired 4.9 trillion PEPE tokens, currently valued at $56 million, on April 15, 2023, spending less than $3,000.

This purchase involved the trader selling $2,256 worth of Timeless (LIT), $210 worth of Ethereum (ETH), and 500 USDC to purchase PEPE.
The trader has since sold 1.41 trillion PEPE tokens, amounting to $7.4 million. However, they retain ownership of 3.5 trillion PEPE tokens, valued at approximately $38.9 million at the reporting time.
This coincided with PEPE attaining a new all-time high of $0.00001151 on May 15. According to CoinGecko data, PEPE is trading at $0.00001101, marking a 5.8% increase in the last 24 hours. The meme coin has a total market capitalization of $4.7 billion, positioning it as the 27th largest cryptocurrency.
On Monday, Roaring Kitty, known for catalyzing the 2021 GameStop rally, shared a suggestive image on X, which traders interpreted as a signal of his return. This development caused a rally in meme coins, with top performers including PEPE, Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Floki (FLOKI).
