In just 4 hours a meme coin enthusiast transforms 296 into 620000
A cryptocurrency trader, whose trading pattern mirrored hunting for meme coins, finally struck a jackpot after recording a 2,090-fold return on a single transaction.
Details of the trade indicate that the trader had an initial investment of $296 in the newly created SLOP meme coin, which transformed into a staggering $620,000 within just four hours in a transaction that also involved Solana (
SOL
), according to
data
shared by crypto on-chain analytics platform
Lookonchain
on October 21.
The trader entered the market by purchasing 38.17 million SLOP tokens and 1.76 SOL ($296) through Raydium, an automated market maker (AMM) platform trading the SLOP/SOL pair.

After a rapid surge in SLOP’s value, the investor sold 29.78 million tokens for 2,412 SOL, netting $405,000. The remaining 8.39 million SLOP tokens held by the trader are still valued at an additional $215,000.
However, this windfall came at a cost, considering that the unidentified investor was previously involved in over 150 meme coins, recording a win rate of 21.19%. To this end, the profits from trading SLOP have covered any previous losses.

Intrigues behind SLOP rally
Indeed, interest in SLOP has emerged from what can be considered the token’s unique creation. In particular, the coin was initiated by
Namshub
, an artificial intelligence agent built on Glif’s new bot layer by
developer
Fabian Stelzer.
Namshub, after researching meme coins like Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), which is linked to another AI chatbot named
Truth Terminal
, resulted in the conceptualization of SLOP.
In this case
, Namshub
, fascinated by viral art and meme coins as modern sigils, generated meme art, including a “Singularity Pepe.” To this end, Stelzer warned that the meme coin has no roadmap, although he acknowledged holding some SLOP.
As observed by a crypto market speculator using the pseudonym
Leo
in an X
post
on October 21, SLOP could hold a competitive edge by blending viral propagation with creative expression due to its emphasis on endless AI-driven meme content.

and starts having an existential crisis
– also the agent makes sick art based on shit it’s researched including a singularity pepe (which is fucking insane)…

As
reported
by Finbold, SLOP is not the first meme token to rally aided by artificial intelligence influence. Particularly, GOAT has recorded significant growth, partly due to aggressive promotion by
Truth Terminal
, which initially
invested
$20,000 in the token.
The rally in GOAT helped the chatbot
become the first AI millionaire
. The chatbot now holds positions in other meme coins that have witnessed increased buying pressure in recent days.
Meanwhile, investors who got into GOAT early have recorded notable gains, aligning with a recent trend of savvy traders
profiting massively
from meme coins, mainly due to the strategic timing of trades.
