On July 14th, during a campaign rally, Trump was shot in the ear and raised his right fist while being protected by security. Subsequently, the concept of Trump meme surged, with TRUMP skyrocketing nearly 70% within 1 hour, and MAGA surging 33% within 1 hour. Additionally, several related meme coins appeared on Solana, including FIGHT and EAR, both of which saw gains of over 100% after being listed.
Late last night, Trump posted a new social media email update at 11:51 Beijing time, with the caption "FEAR NOT, I am Trump, I will lead America to greatness again!" Subsequently, a meme token named "FEAR NOT" appeared on Solana, with a 33x increase in two hours.
After explosive news events, a series of related meme tokens quickly emerge, with several experiencing gains of over 100%, offering significant profit potential. How are these "golden opportunities" created? What are the characteristics of the smart money that captures high returns?
15 minutes after the news, old coins are sold off, and new coins enter the market
The first reports of Trump's shooting incident were seen from Bloomberg reporter Walter at 6:15 on the 14th, and 15 minutes later, Trump concept coins began to surge.
Previously, the leading Trump concept token, TRUMP, surged. At 6:22 on the 14th, TRUMP rose by 70% in 40 minutes, began to decline around 7 am, with a trading volume of 6.01 million USD. Subsequently, MAGA also began to surge at 6:28, with a 46% increase lasting for 40 minutes, followed by a decline starting at 7:10, with a trading volume of 3.37 million USD.
In addition to the old memes, many related concept tokens emerged after this unexpected event, such as EAR, Fight, SURVIVOR, FIST, MISSED, and HERO, as well as corresponding memes around these words, such as EAR IS FINE and EARWIF.
For meme speculation, event fermentation, token issuance, and market entry have become standard procedures. These tokens represented by the above names are not unique; searching for any of these words on any DEX will yield dozens of tokens with the same name. According to gmgn data, there are 24 tokens named "Fight" on Solana and 23 on Ethereum, while there are 11 "EAR" tokens on Solana and 5 on Ethereum.
Due to the difficulty in tracking the timing of most meme creations, BlockBeats reviewed the birth times of several popular tokens, with only FIGHT and EAR achieving significant gains, coincidentally released 15 minutes after the news.
According to dexscreener data, the token FIGHT, which saw the highest increase, was released at 6:50 on the 14th and is still rising, showing three upward peaks in its trend. The first peak appeared around 11:45 on the 14th, maintaining a price near 0.004 USD for nearly 1 hour before starting to decline. Six hours later, the price bottomed out at 0.002 USD and rebounded, reaching a local high point of 0.013 USD around 10:30 in the evening. Subsequently, with an increase in sell orders, FIGHT experienced a significant decline and rebounded earlier today.
EAR, which survived longer than FIGHT, was released at 6:37 on the 14th and reached its highest point of 0.032 USD at 1:15 in the afternoon, with a gain of over 60 times in 7 hours. At around 3:30 in the afternoon, the price of EAR began to decline, and at the time of writing, the price was 0.0035 USD, with a market value of 3.7 million USD and a trading volume of 43.1 million USD.
The tokens FIST and SURVIVOR, which had the second highest popularity, were released later, with FIST released at 8:21 on the 14th and SURVIVOR released at 1:05 on the 15th, both of which have now returned to zero.
How does smart money achieve hundredfold returns on memes?
According to gmgn.ai data, in addition to FIGHT and EAR, a large number of related memes were also created around 6:30 in the morning, but perhaps due to a lack of promotion, they did not attract much attention. Among these dozens or even hundreds of related memes, how did smart money accurately select the one that achieved a hundredfold return? BlockBeats tracked the early buyers of the aforementioned EAR and FIGHT memes.
Luck is the main factor
The luckiest person to profit the most from FIGHT is an address starting with LCJFe, which bought in 23 minutes after opening at an average cost of 0.00017 USD, sold the principal after doubling in price, and currently has a floating profit of 579,000 USD, with a gain of over a hundredfold.
Another address starting with CLegS specializes in celebrity tokens, with celebrity tokens accounting for more than half of its total holdings, but almost all have been wiped out. Overall, due to the rise of Trump concept tokens, its total profit remains positive.
In this Trump shooting incident, it bought FIGHT, EAR, FIST, SURVIVOR, and MAGA, with the latter losing money, while the other four memes have already realized over 470,000 USD in profit for it, with approximately 233,600 USD in unrealized profit.
The address starting with BS4gh belongs to a "hotspot" player, holding tokens including BOME, WIF, and MOTHER in addition to FIGHT. Although the latter three are all highly discussed hundredfold tokens in the meme community, due to entering the market too late, it only has a floating profit of 82 USD.
The address starting with Qwerty (81RYq) profited the most from EAR, with a total purchase cost of 224 USD, ultimately gaining over 220,000 USD, achieving a 1309x return. Its strategy is to cast a wide net, buying around 15 to 30 meme tokens at a cost of 100-300 USD each day, eventually hitting the jackpot with EAR.
KOLs can profit, but not necessarily at the peak
The movements and promotion activities of KOL addresses have a significant impact on the price trends of meme tokens.
After 36 minutes of the appearance of EAR, an address belonging to a KOL named "0xSun" with over 90K Twitter followers bought over 2700 USD worth of EAR in two transactions at 0.0015 and 0.0019 USD. At that time, the market value of EAR was less than 2 million USD, but within the next 8 hours, EAR reached a peak of over 32 million USD. However, 0xSun did not sell at the peak, and if calculated at the peak, 0xSun's maximum profit could have been 16 times. However, in this market trend, 0xSun's actual return was 1.36 times.
On FIGHT, Neso, with over 30K followers, bought in at a cost of 434 USD two hours after the token was listed and posted a promotion tweet about half an hour after the purchase. Subsequently, as FIGHT continued to rise, Neso started selling after a 6x profit, with the last sale at a temporary high point, leaving some remaining holdings. As FIGHT broke its historical high, Neso's unrealized profit on it reached 17,000 USD.
Incomplete "Coin Recognition" Guide
After summarizing these lucky smart money moves, it is evident that high returns can be achieved not only by buying within the first few tens of minutes after a token is listed. These opportunities emerged within 20 minutes after the sudden news reports, with a very rapid "production speed," but the process of "upgrading to golden opportunities" took several hours. Even buying in 2 hours after the listing still offered the potential for hundredfold returns.
BlockBeats has summarized some general techniques for capturing meme coins.
First, closely following hot news and assessing its potential impact is crucial. It is important to maintain a keen sense of smell for meme coins related to sudden events, timely select concept tokens related to the event, and closely monitor their trends.
In addition, paying attention to smart money and reputable KOL addresses is also an effective strategy. Smart money and KOLs often have richer market experience and a sharper market sense. Following their movements can increase the probability of success. Diversifying investments is also an important risk reduction strategy. As some smart money has taken action, casting a wide net and diversifying investments, although not every investment brings huge returns, there are always some that stand out and achieve hundredfold or even thousandfold returns.
Finally, timely profit-taking is also a key strategy. In a highly volatile market, withdrawing the initial investment cost in a timely manner to ensure that there is no loss under any circumstances is an important means of protecting investment returns. Maintaining rationality and calmness, avoiding blindly following the trend due to temporary fluctuations, and having one's own judgment and strategy are important. This way, even in a turbulent market, one can steadily move forward and seize the meme coin opportunities brought about by the next sudden event.
In conclusion, capturing meme coins related to sudden events requires not only luck but also keen market insight and scientific investment strategies. However, meme coins are highly volatile, and BlockBeats reminds readers to be cautious about identifying risks.
