Notably, there have been more examples of traders turning a small investment into a massive fortune as of late as the meme coin mania rages on.

Just recently, an anonymous trader turned a $17 investment in Pnut, a meme coin inspired by a viral squirrel, into an astonishing $3 million in Solana tokens.

The token, created through Pump.Fun, gained popularity following the story of P’Nut, a squirrel euthanized for a rabies test, which sparked widespread internet support.

By leveraging perfect timing, the trader capitalized on Pnut’s meteoric rise, swapping tokens at their peak value of $1.50 just hours after Binance announced its listing.

While the trader’s 16,470,500% profit marked one of the most successful meme coin trades in history, Pnut’s creator saw a starkly different outcome.

After spending $335 in Solana to mint 1 billion Pnut tokens, the creator cashed out early for just $620, missing out on what could have been a fortune.

Solana DApps See Record Fees and Revenue Amid Meme Coins Resurgence

As reported, Solana-based decentralized applications (DApps) have registered record fees and revenue, driven by a renewed meme coin frenzy.

Likewise, trading activity on Solana-based decentralized exchanges (DEXes) has reached record levels as meme coin enthusiasm sweeps the crypto market.

As reported, institutional investment in Solana-based blockchain applications rebounded in the third quarter of 2024, with Solana’s decentralized applications (DApps) attracting $173 million across 29 funding rounds.

This marks a 54% rise from the previous quarter, signaling renewed interest in the Solana ecosystem despite a 37% decline in the number of funding rounds, according to a recent Messari report.

Per the report, this influx of capital represents the highest investment level in Solana projects since Q2 2022.

The third quarter also saw a dramatic increase in Solana’s fee-related metrics.

Average daily fee payers reached 1.9 million, an impressive 109% increase quarter-over-quarter, while new fee payers surged 430% to 1.3 million.

However, the network’s daily transaction volume, excluding voting-related activity, dropped by 12% to 62 million transactions.
