Popular Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) meme coin Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: WIF) is up 34% over the past seven days, allowing a trader to cash out their substantial gains.

What Happened: On-chain analytics firm Lookonchain shared on Wednesday that the trader initially spent $5,879 to acquire 6.1 million WIF tokens on Dec. 8, 2023. As the value of WIF surged, the investor strategically sold 4.7 million WIF tokens for $1.57 million.

Despite these sales, the investor still holds 1.4 million $WIF tokens, currently valued at $5.47 million. Lookonchain noted that the total profit from these transactions amounts to approximately $7 million, representing a 1,197x gain.

Why It Matters: Meme coins like WIF are resurgent, posting double-digit gains despite dips in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Dogwifhat has seen its value increase by over 30% over the past week, alongside other “Dogecoin killers” like Floki (CRYPTO: FLOKI).
