    Solana memecoin trader (6K2d9) was early to the memecoin, AURA, making their first purchase just a day after its launch on 31st May. Over the next two months, they continued to buy into the memecoin, with their largest purchases in early July in two clips worth almost $60K in SOL, or 3.265M AURA tokens. At this point, 6K2d9 had acquired 15,940,650 AURA tokens with $86,587.84. As AURA gained traction and climbed to a valuation of $76M, his position grew as well, peaking at a value of $1.178M, or a 13.6x return in just 2 months.

    Unfortunately for them, they chose to hold the majority of their AURA tokens, transferring them into another wallet (XCkMA), where they continue to baghold their position today. Today, the 16M AURA tokens on their wallet is now worth only $141.41K. While the token has fallen 87% from its highs, this Solana memecoin trader is still up 63% on their initial investment.

    Nevertheless, 6K2d9 remains undeterred and continues to trade deep in the Solana trenches, trading both low and high cap memecoins. Most notably, they recently acquired a $1M position in WIF which is currently worth $981.47K.
