A fortunate crypto trader has transformed a modest $173 investment into an astonishing $224,390 profit by holding onto TROLL, a Solana-based meme coin. The trader made the initial purchase in mid-December 2024 when the coin’s market cap was a mere $6,510. Over the subsequent four months, TROLL saw an explosive surge of over 361,500%, with its value skyrocketing in mid-April 2025.
The coin, which launched on Solana’s Pump.fun platform in May 2024, draws inspiration from the Trollface meme, an internet sensation created in 2008 by Carlos Ramirez. Although the coin remained relatively dormant for several months, even dipping to a market cap of just $4,550 in April 2025, its fortunes changed dramatically on April 20, a date infamous in meme culture.
On that day, TROLL surged by an incredible 59,944%, pushing its market cap to $2.7 million. It continued to climb, reaching a peak of $27.37 million, according to DEX Screener.
The trader made the purchase of 0.8 SOL (about $173 at the time) on December 16, 2024. The investment remained untouched until April 21, when the tokens were transferred to a new wallet and gradually sold. As of the latest data, the trader has locked in $103,900 through 97 sales, with the remaining $120,490 worth of TROLL still held in the wallet.
Despite the significant profits, the journey has been volatile. After the initial sales on April 21, TROLL’s market cap fell 55%, from $8.4 million to $3.8 million, only to recover with further fluctuations, including a jump to $34.64 million today. The coin is currently trading at $0.01802.
