Missing out on crypto that becomes the next big thing in crypto can hurt. To avoid this, popular on-chain analyst LookOnChain has sorted out prominent whales to keep an eye on and ease the task of catching the next PEPE. According to the analyst, these whales were very early to notable meme coins such as Shiba Inu (SHIB). LookOnChain noted these whales are \u201csmartMoneys that both bought SHIB and PEPE early and made millions of USD.\u201d Discovering The Next Memecoin That Could Run 100x In a series of threads, LookOnChain unveiled three SmartMoney wallet addresses that invested early before the bull run.

The current unrealized profit on the token investment held by this address is $1.34 million. LookOnChain also mentioned an address associated with the domain \u201ccryptopolitan.eth\u201d that purchased SHIB in February 2021 at the same time as the first address, making a profit of $2.45 million on the investment.\u00a0 This same address began purchasing PEPE on April 19, buying 340 billion PEPE with $103,000.

PEPE: Ran Out Of Gas Meanwhile, the memecoin crashed after making significant waves in the crypto industry over the past week. The memecoin is now beginning to see a price decline, indicating traders are profiting or getting bored of the memecoin.\u00a0 The token\u2019s rally initially started late last month. This was when the memecoin pumped from a low of $0.00000002 on April 27 to as high as $0.0000042 on May 5. This growth drew the attention of many traders and investors, who saw it as an opportunity to profit from meme-inspired crypto. The price of the token began to decline soon after reaching that peak. As of May 8, the token price had fallen to $0.000000211, representing a decline of 51% from its all-time high.
