By cryptoadmin A crypto dealer has managed to make fairly a pleasant residing by creating lots of of tokens day-after-day on Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.enjoyable.
The dealer, recognized solely by their Solana pockets “MNhB,” has profited greater than $840,000 by launching 17,794 tokens during the last three months, in line with accessible knowledge on Dune. They’ve been worthwhile on 79% of these trades, knowledge web site GMGN reveals.
Such a factor would have been scandalous within the crypto world simply over a yr in the past—a dev pumping out token after token after token, by no means spending any period of time or consideration on their creations, and cashing in on every launch as rapidly as potential. Nevertheless it’s all now par for the course on the meme coin wonderland that’s Pump.enjoyable.
Pump.enjoyable is a launchpad that permits anybody to create a crypto token, at zero value, after filling in a couple of easy containers. Customers can decide to buy a portion of the token provide they created to allow them to commerce the token. Buying and selling begins almost instantaneously, and if the token reaches a $100,000 market cap, it should “graduate”—which means it could actually then be traded exterior of Pump.enjoyable on decentralized exchanges. If that occurs, the token creator is rewarded with 0.5 SOL, price roughly $115 right now.
Our devoted deployer is trying to play this technique, lowering their have to commerce by launching hundreds of tokens and hoping that one hits. And for this meme coin creator, some have.
In line with GMGN, the devoted deployer’s single finest commerce was on a token referred to as Cooker—a meme coin the dealer created that was supposedly meant to donate a portion of its provide to a crypto influencer of the identical title. On this case, the pockets “MNhB” purchased $8,410 of the token at launch and bought it through three transactions lower than two minutes later, profiting $16,400 in whole. On this time, the token had skyrocketed 866% to a market cap of almost $139,000.
This can be a sample that the pockets follows on all token launches reviewed by Decrypt, typically promoting inside seconds.
This technique isn’t at all times essentially the most worthwhile, although, and got here again to chunk the devoted deployer when his creation Speedy Response (RR) skyrocketed to a $7.3 million market cap after he bought for $25 revenue. In doing so, the dealer fumbled greater than half one million {dollars} in potential revenue, in line with knowledge web site Paperhands GM.
It’s price noting, nevertheless, that the token doubtless wouldn’t have elevated in worth as sharply if the pockets hadn’t bought. Meme coin merchants don’t prefer it when a token deployer nonetheless owns a big portion of the full provide, so a dev dumping is, sarcastically, bullish in meme land.
This dealer has additionally obtained 75 SOL, price roughly $17,247, on account of their tokens graduating and receiving a 0.5 SOL reward every time, in line with knowledge on Solana block explorer Solscan. The pockets’s earliest reward was obtained in November, so assuming it began deploying tokens round this time, this could imply the pockets has created almost 200 tokens a day for 3 months.
Throughout the pockets’s whole buying and selling historical past, it has profited $842,100, primarily from buying and selling its personal token launches—with some regular meme coin flipping in its early days. As Coinbase Director Conor Grogan famous in a submit on X, it seems the pockets goes inactive for hours at a time earlier than launching dozens of tokens every day. This implies the pockets is managed by a human person and never a bot.

“I'd be tempted to say that it's human exercise. [It] might be a combination, e.g. coin creation is computerized however profit-taking is human,” he mentioned.
This opens a window into yet one more manner that degens are being profitable on meme cash, and it seems this isn’t an anomaly.

Lots of them additionally create cash,” he defined. “Nevertheless it does seem to be there are a couple of that nearly completely launch cash.”
