On top of that, he also spent 2.2 ETH ($4K) on gas fees. These numbers show that investing in meme coins is less lucrative than some think.
In another case, Lookonchain reported that a trader lost 100 ETH ($190K) on LADYS. This trader withdrew 174 ETH ($321K) from Gate.io and bought 2T LADYS at $0.0000001504. Unfortunately, he only sold for 73.5 ETH($130K) at a price of $0.00000006142. These losses are a stark reminder of the risks of investing in meme coins.

However, there are exceptions, and some traders have made significant profits from investing in meme coins. A trader, known as SmartMoney, made 1,219 ETH($2.2M) on PEPE. He then spent 1,173 ETH ($2.1M) to repurchase 1.33T PEPE at a buying price of $0.000001586. He bought 2.24T PEPE with 26 ETH($48K) at $0.00000002166 and sold for 1,245 ETH($2.24M) at $0.0000009985, with a gain of 48x. These gains are impressive but should not be taken as an indication that investing in meme coins is easy or risk-free.
