Trader Turns $21K Into $3.78M Catching ZCAT and STONK Early

Points of Focus

  • A $1.3K ZCAT entry produced an estimated $2.17M profit.
  • A $19.7K STONK position added another $1.61M.
  • About $3.34M remains unsold, leaving most of the profit unrealized.

 

A Solana trader spent about $21,000 on ZCAT and STONK and, at Sept. 7 prices tracked by Lookonchain, was sitting on an estimated $3.78 million combined profit. 

The wallet has generated $466,000 in sale proceeds so far, while unsold holdings were valued at about $3.34 million, leaving most of the reported gain exposed to further price moves.

 

ZCAT trade turns $1,300 into estimated $2.17M profit

On-chain tracker Lookonchain said the trader spent $1,300 to acquire 24.52 million ZCAT. The wallet later sold 8.96 million tokens for $55,000 and retained 15.57 million ZCAT valued at roughly $2.12 million at the time of the post. Lookonchain estimated the trade’s total profit at $2.17 million, or a 1,626x return.

 

 

Only $55,000 in ZCAT sale proceeds had been recorded, while most of the position remained in the wallet. ZCAT reached an all-time high of $0.1755 on Sept. 7 before retreating toward $0.111, meaning the marked value of the unsold tokens had already fallen sharply from the peak.

ZCAT is a Solana memecoin launched through StonkFun with a 3% transfer tax that funds ZEC rewards for eligible holders. The payout is tied to token activity rather than a fixed yield, so reward amounts rise or fall with trading volume.

 

STONK trade adds $1.61M after $19.7K entry

The same trader spent $19,700 on 44.43 million STONK. Lookonchain said 34.62 million tokens were sold for $411,000, while another 9.8 million remained in the wallet with a marked value of about $1.22 million. The tracker estimated the position’s total profit at $1.61 million, or an 82x return.

STONK’s rally followed StonkFun’s Sept. 5 integration with Raydium LaunchLab. The update moved new StonkFun deployments onto LaunchLab and introduced lower deployment costs and measures aimed at reducing launch sniping. STONK later reached an all-time high of $0.212 before falling back toward $0.126.

Across both trades, the wallet collected about $466,000 in sale proceeds while Lookonchain valued its remaining 15.57 million ZCAT and 9.8 million STONK at roughly $3.34 million. The two trades establish the wallet’s gains on these positions, but not its lifetime trading performance.
