While very volatile, cryptocurrencies offer some of the highest potential returns in investing, especially with assets like meme coins.
The potential of meme coins to turn a small investment into a fortune was on full display recently.
As per on-chain monitoring and analytics firm Lookonchain, one trader recently turned $462 into $3.4 million in Pepe (PEPE).
An early buyer of $PEPE deposited all 182.9B $PEPE($2.53M) into #Binance 6 hours ago.
This guy spent 0.22 $ETH($462) to buy 324.9B $PEPE on Apr 15, 2023 and sold it all for $3.4M.
He was lucky enough to turn $462 into $3.4M, a gain of 7,368x!

Just as meme coins can deliver big upside, they can also shed value very quickly.
