Meme Coin Trader Misses A $25 Million Payout After Selling HIPPO On Sui Network Early

Crypto activity is dynamic, and with over two million tokens (and
growing), it is hard to know precisely which of these coins will
pump and on which network. Admittedly, meme coins have been
dominating headlines, especially on Solana. From MooDeng to Bonk
and Pepe, traders are on the lookout. Meme Coin Trader Misses
A $25 Million Payout In the past week, eyes have been on Sui
Network, a modern blockchain that claims to process over 50,000
transactions every second (TPS) and is faster than Solana. The
spike in activity results from the success of what’s arguably one
of the largest meme coins in its ecosystem. Related Reading: Aptos

Developer HashPallette After launching nearly six days ago, Sudeng
(HIPPO) is on fire, posting impressive higher highs. The surge over
this time has pushed HIPPO’s market cap and, thus liquidity,
higher, looking at swaps at Sui Network‘s decentralized exchange,
Cetus 4. Changing hands at over $0.010 means traders who got in
early, choosing to HODL on and not getting concerned with the
sell-off across major markets like Bitcoin could be neck-dip in
profits. According to trackers, one meme coin trader is regretting
after exiting early, dumping HIPPO for a small profit. On launch,
the trader sold 258 SUI, worth around $433, for 1.8 billion HIPPO.
This is nearly 20% of the total supply standing at 10 billion.
However, the trader chose to sell all this stash for 6,299 SUI days
later, racking in nearly $11,000. The problem is, if the trader had
chosen to wait, even for another 36 hours, it would have turned out
to be major gains. As of October 4, the 1.8 billion HIPPO, is now
worth over $25 million. The premature decision to sell is
proving costly and is a missed opportunity. All the same, the
trader shouldn’t be blamed. The $11,000 earned represents a more
than 200X gain. Moreover, even if the trader would have held on,
becoming a diamond hand and waiting for prices to rally, it would
have been tough for the trader to exit all at once. HIPPO
Concentration A Concern: Will The Sudeng Pump? HIPPO is not very
liquid, and looking at ownership from SuiScan, one address controls
over 7.6 billion tokens, which is more than 76% of the total
supply. If the trader held on, the address would be the second
largest. Any attempt to sell would force prices lower, triggering
panic as other holders scramble to the exits. Related Reading: XRP

will be closely monitoring how HIPPO performs. As a meme coin, much
depends on hype and whether there is a fear of missing out (FOMO).
If that’s the case, the meme coin will float higher, outperforming
SUI, which is also relatively firm. Feature image from DALLE, chart
