In the cryptocurrency market, a single decision can lead to tremendous profits or significant regrets. The Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) token is a prime example of this. Launched on October 10 on the pump.fun platform, $GOAT has taken the market by storm, skyrocketing over 19,000% since its debut. Just in the last 24 hours, it surged an impressive 135%, currently trading at $0.2636 with a market cap of $266 million.
A Missed $5M Fortune
Not everyone is basking in the glory of this remarkable rise. According to blockchain monitoring service Lookonchain, one unfortunate trader missed out on a jaw-dropping opportunity. Just five days ago, he sold a whopping 19.72 million $GOAT tokens for only $1,100. Today, that same stash is worth over $5 million!
The trader initially purchased the tokens for 40 SOL (about $5,500). When the price began to drop, fear took over, leading him to sell all of his tokens for just 7.87 SOL ($1,100). This decision cost him a staggering $4,400 in losses—an 80% drop.
Growing Interest in GOAT
Despite this cautionary tale, $GOAT continues to attract interest. The number of holders has surged from 12,324 yesterday to 17,820 today, showing growing interest in the memecoin despite its short history. However, investors should trade carefully.
