Cryptocurrency traders managed to use about $3,200 – 0.85 ETH – to capture about 44% of the cryptocurrency supply, accounting for nearly 430 million tokens that they then continued to issue after the price of the cryptocurrency rose.
The trader sold 393 million JENNER tokens for approximately $330,000 while holding approximately $104,000 worth of JENNER in their wallets. This dramatic trade exemplifies the rags-to-riches stories that continue to emerge in the current crypto boom, often attributed to project insiders.
