The unrealized profit follows a market rally of over 30% on the meme coin as more traders gravitate toward the asset.
As of this writing, ai16z is trading at $1.22, a 40.43% increase within the last 24 hours. The community sentiment remains bullish, with a massive spike of 192.88% in trading volume to $122.77 million.
Notably, the soaring value of ai16z has since increased the worth of the tokens acquired by the whale. The tokens are now worth over $15.66 million, which has led to an unrealized profit of $5.66 million.
Lookonchain said, "The whale dared to bet big – and it paid off."
This comment emphasized the risky nature of the investment. Notably, the on-chain platform highlights the calculated risk the whale took on a relatively new meme coin.
