A crypto trader by the name of Remusofmars has managed to turn a $370 investment in the White Whale (WHITEWHALE) meme coin into $1.2 million.
On-chain data shows that the trader made their initial investment in the Solana-based meme coin in early December 2025, when $370 amounted to 1.5% of the token’s total supply, as indicated by data available on Arkham as of January 13.
The timing proved fruitful, as the token began gaining traction shortly after. Indeed, Remusofmars sold $6,200 within just 24 hours, which alone locked in 16x returns.
With the prices exploding over the following month, White Whale’s market cap eventually grew to $150 million, at which point the cryptocurrency trader cashed out a total of $220,000.
At the time of writing, Remusofmars still holds nearly $930,000 worth of WHITEWHALE, which is by far their largest holding, the second being $237,500 worth of USD Coin (USDC). In total, their portfolio is still worth over $1.2 million.
Why did White Whale rally?
The WHITEWHALE emerged after another prominent trader known as “The White Whale” became embroiled in a roughly $3 million conflict with the MEXC crypto exchange, which had frozen his account over alleged bot-trading violations.
As public scrutiny intensified, the case gained traction. Amid mounting pressure, MEXC ultimately acknowledged fault, restoring full access to the account and releasing the frozen funds.
Riding the wave of viral attention, The White Whale then took over a community-launched WHITEWHALE token on Solana (SOL). He moved quickly to establish credibility, locking liquidity and rolling out incentives designed to reward long-term holders.
As evidenced by the profits Remusofmars reported over the past month, the approach has certainly paid off, with WHITEWHALE becoming one of Solana’s top-performing meme tokens, comparable to, for instance, 114514, which has likewise made millionaires this year.
