The trader reportedly opened his position with 5 ETH and spent it to buy 9.5 trillion PORK. Per Dexscreener data, PORK has a total supply of 420 trillion, with 10 wallet addresses controlling over 15% of the amount.
The trader then sold 6.3 trillion PORK in exchange for 329 ETH (about $765,000), earning a net profit of 324 ETH, valued at approximately $753,000. Following the transaction, the trader remained with 3.2 trillion PORK, valued at around $2.55 million.
While Lookonchain analysts claimed the trader “spotted PORK 7 minutes after it opened trading,” some X users expressed doubt, implying that the market participant could have been an “insider.”
As of writing, PORK was in numerous decentralized exchanges under various pairs, including PORK/WETH and PNDC/PORK on Uniswap and USDC/PORK on DODO. The token was up 16.77% within the last 24 hours, with a trading volume of $80.42 million.
