A single trade of just $285 in meme coins yielded an astonishing profit of over $620,000 within a day. However, this story of sudden wealth on the Solana chain quickly sparked widespread community suspicion of insider trading and market manipulation.
(Background recap: The viral meme coin trader “Kusu P Xiao Jiang” made $430,000 in 30 days. How did he catch the first 5 seconds of the Golden Dog appearance?)
(Additional context: BNB Chain Foundation bought meme coins “HakiMi” and “Laozi” which surged, continuing to add positions in the BSC Meme track)

The cryptocurrency market has once again seen a “small capital turnaround” case that sparks heated discussion. A trader on the Solana chain, using the pump.fun platform to trade emerging meme coins $ZReaL, increased his assets from just $285 to about $627,000 within a day, with a profit multiple of approximately 2,200 times. However, this seemingly lucky story of sudden wealth quickly raised community doubts about insider trading and market manipulation.

On-chain data reveals operational details

According to on-chain data tracking accounts EyeOnChain and Lookonchain, the transaction wallet, when $ZReaL just went live and the market cap was still very low, bought about 66.3 million tokens with $285. Subsequently, the trader sold about 19.98 million tokens in batches, cashing out approximately $210,000, while deliberately dispersing sell orders across four different wallets, showing a very low-profile approach.

As of now, the wallet still holds about 46.3 million $ZReaL, with a market value of approximately $417,000. The total realized and unrealized profits have exceeded $627,000. The incredible return in such a short time has made this transaction a market focus.

An insider wallet, AG2GXk, turned $285 into $627K on $ZReaL — a 2,200× return.

Community Suspicion Rises: Insider or “Sniper” Operation?

However, most community discussions do not see this as mere “luck.” Lookonchain even directly labeled this wallet as an “insider wallet” on X platform, believing that being able to precisely buy such a high proportion of tokens during the early stage when market cap was only a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars is almost impossible to achieve with ordinary trading tools or random operations.

Market doubts mainly focus on two aspects. First, the timing of entry is too precise. The price and market cap at the initial stage of $ZReaL were extremely low, and being able to buy heavily at this point is usually considered an advantage only available to developers, insiders, or those with key information. The pump.fun platform itself is known for its “who knew first, who profits first” characteristic, and insider advantages have long been criticized.

Second, the method of selling is quite mature. The trader did not sell all at once but gradually offloaded over about 10 hours through hundreds of small market sell orders, deliberately dispersing across multiple wallets to reduce market alertness and price impact. Many analysts see this as a “professional sniper” or internal personnel’s typical approach.
