Whale Bites Into New Token – Suffers Rapid Paper Loss
On-chain data reveals that a high-profile wallet aggressively purchased 3.27 million tokens shortly after its Binance spot listing, deploying 607.5 BNB (approximately $547,000). The move, executed during the critical debut window, signals strong conviction — or high-risk speculation.

Despite initial momentum, the token failed to sustain upward pressure. The whale’s current holdings are now valued at around $390,000 — a paper loss of $157,000, or nearly 29% of the initial investment.
