Chiikawa has become a sensation this year, and all related merchandise is immediately sold out as soon as it is released. I remember that at that time the convenience store first started selling Chiikawa EasyCard, and when I went to 7-11 to look for the EasyCard, the store clerk would directly say "There's nothing you're looking for", they were all swept away by Chiikawa fans!
And all of Chiikawa's official and collaborative merchandise have been hyped up to astronomical prices, this business opportunity is something the crypto community can't miss. The meme coin CHIIKAWA (unofficially issued) started to surge strongly last Friday (10/11) and Saturday (10/12), rising from about $0.0000491 to a peak of $0.002846, a 57-fold increase! Chiikawa fans who got on this train also shared their gains on Threads, using the money they made to buy Chiikawa plushies.

Every time I see another netizen making a big profit from meme coins, don't you wonder how to buy these tokens that haven't even been listed on exchanges? I'll come and clarify this for everyone! However, before embarking on a coin-buying journey, I have to emphasize that the risk of coins that have not yet been listed on exchanges is extremely high, so please do your own research and carefully consider before making a move.

Where to buy coins that haven't been listed on exchanges yet?
First, we need to know that meme coins are usually issued on the Solana blockchain, so you can't use a Metamask wallet that supports Ethereum-compatible to buy meme coins on the Solana blockchain. The method I'm going to introduce today is also more user-friendly for beginners, which is to use the OKX Web3 wallet to buy.

Step 1: Create a wallet / Add an account
If you don't have a wallet yet, please create one directly, and if you already have a wallet, you can add a new account to diversify the risk. (You can also import other wallets like Phantom into the OKX Web3 wallet) and click on the "Network" icon in the top right corner, select Solana.
Step 2: Deposit
If you've already bought SOL on OKX, you just need to switch back to the exchange page and copy the wallet address to the withdrawal address column! For those who haven't deposited or withdrawn before, you can refer to this tutorial:How to Buy Bitcoin?

Step 3: Look up the token contract address on CoinMarketCap
After depositing SOL into your wallet, you can start buying coins. Back in the OKX Web3 wallet, click on "Market" and search for the token name in the search bar. However, it is recommended to use the contract address to search, as this is less likely to select the wrong one (after all, anyone can issue meme coins, there are at least three Chiikawa meme coins), you can use CoinMarketCap to find the contract address.
Here, you need to pay attention, after searching for the token, you will see the icon in the bottom right corner showing which chain the token is built on, if it's not Solana, remember to switch the chain back in step 1!
Step 4: Buy the token
After finding the token you want to buy, click on the trade, and you can enter the amount of SOL you want to spend to buy, and complete the transaction.
That's it! Isn't it simple? In the future, if you want to buy any coins that haven't been listed on exchanges yet, you can purchase them in this way, but please be careful not to act impulsively, or you may end up in a big loss! (Here's proof of the big loss caused by buying the Maltese meme coin)
