That crypto wallet now has a balance valued at $500,000, according to crypto portfolio tracker Debank, including 0.45 ETH.

The trader took profit on 2.5% of his position, selling 25 million $SPONGE so far – appearing confident that it will continue to rise in price.

A relatively new wallet, Debank records the investors’ net worth as having increased over 52,000%.

$SPONGE Market Cap

The $SPONGE live market cap is $19 million according to CoinMarketCap, with a fully diluted valuation of $21 million. 

On its launch day Sponge token was among the top crypto gainers, ranking in the top 2-3 coins over that 24 hour period, outperforming leading meme coins like $PEPE, $WOJAK, $BOB and $TURBO in percentage gains.

Following Uniswap DEX, two centralized crypto exchange (CEX) platforms have also listed $SPONGE at the time of writing – CoinW and Toobit. 

Two exchange listings within its first two days is faster than PEPE at launch, leading to some analysts tipping it for success. The project has stated a top ten exchange is also set to announce their listing of the new meme coin, on Tuesday May 9th.

Update – the traders’ wallet balance increased further as $SPONGE went on to set new highs and become the #1 trending ‘hot pair’ on DEXTools.

Pepe Coin Mints New Multi Millionaires

With its explosive rally to an almost $2 billion market cap the day Binance announced they would list the meme token – alongside Floki Inu – $PEPE has created even higher sums of wealth for holders.

Last month it made headlines that one unknown meme coin investor swapped 0.125 ETH for 5.9 trillion PEPE tokens, worth $250 at the time.

That position was later valued at just over $1 million in late April – and since then Pepe rallied even further, increasing over 6x from that date.

Now with a market cap of $1.2 billion after a correction, the Pepe price is consolidating around the $0.000003 mark, having spiked over $0.000004 this week.
