Memecoin Traders Surrender as Crypto Market Slumps

Memecoin Sell-Offs

As the cryptocurrency market experiences a downturn, blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain has observed significant sell-offs by memecoin traders.

One trader with a substantial position in Pepe (PEPE) liquidated their holdings for 366.5 ETH ($1.27 million) after holding for only a month. Despite initially seeing a profit of $670,000, the trader held on until the price fell below their break-even point, leading to a loss.

Solana Whale Dumps Beercoin

On the Solana network, a whale dumped over $1 million worth of Beercoin (BEER), a memecoin for beer enthusiasts. The whale still holds over $800,000 worth of BEER.

The whale received a significant portion of their BEER from the team allocation wallet but did not participate in the pre-sale.

Market Impact

At the time of writing, BEER is trading significantly lower than when the whale sold their position, indicating the impact of these sell-offs on the memecoin market.
