At the moment of the announcement of the perpetual contract listing for the meme token MOODENG on Binance, a user purchased 2.77 million of these coins for 1,300 SOL. Twenty minutes later, he sold them for 2,109 SOL, earning 809 SOL ($140,000).

On October 24, using the same strategy, he gained a profit of 99 SOL ($17,000) trading the meme token GOAT.

The MOODENG coin was launched in early September via the Pump.fun platform on the Solana network. The asset is named after a popular baby hippo from Thailand.

Back in late September, a trader turned $815 into $9.4 million on MOODENG. However, the low liquidity of the coin prevented him from realizing the full potential profit.
