11 days $321 turns into $2,180,000, Solana ecosystem meme coin "114514" creates another wealth miracle
A recent on-chain data point has reignited market speculation enthusiasm for Solana Meme coins. Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that a trader turned an initial $321 into approximately $2.18 million in just 11 days, with a return of about 6800 times, becoming a landmark case in the recent Solana Meme coin rally.
Data shows that this wallet address is 8BGiMZ. Through continuous small batch purchases, it accumulated about 45.58 million units of the Solana-based Meme coin “114514.” Transaction records indicate that individual buy-ins were generally only a few dollars, with the accumulation phase being highly discreet, occurring before the token’s price started to rise, reflecting typical early stealth trading characteristics.
Subsequently, on-chain and DEX data show that after a prolonged sideways consolidation, the token’s price suddenly entered a vertical surge phase as buying pressure flooded in. Within just a few hours, the price rapidly increased, with the fully diluted valuation approaching $50 million. Dexscreener data shows that this meme coin surged nearly 700% in 24 hours, with trading volume exceeding $20 million, and liquidity and wallet count rising simultaneously, forming a typical Solana Meme coin explosion.
However, this case also highlights the high-risk nature of meme coin trading. Such extreme gains heavily depend on entry timing, social media hype, and initial liquidity scarcity. Once early holders start to cash out, subsequent chasing of the high often faces severe retracement risks. Currently, no large-scale sell-off has been observed from this address on-chain; the overall position remains stable, but future volatility cannot be ruled out.
From a broader perspective, the meme coin sector is overall warming up. After a year of correction, the total market cap of meme coins has rebounded above $50 billion, led by tokens like PEPE, BONK, and FLOKI, driving the sector to rise over 20% in early January. Market data shows that the share of meme coins among altcoins has recovered from historic lows, with wallet activity and trading volume improving in tandem, reflecting a resurgence of risk appetite in the crypto market.
Meanwhile, demand for leveraged meme coin ETFs is heating up, to some extent expanding meme coin exposure to a wider range of investors, which could have a deeper impact on the overall altcoin market structure.
