The MEME market is always filled with overnight fortune myths, but truly sustainable profitable players are rare. How do top MEME players consistently profit? Does MEME trading have a so-called "Holy Grail"? PANews conducted an in-depth analysis of the trading behaviors of the top three profitable players in the OKX wallet over the past three months.
These top players' trading strategies not only showcase the diversity of MEME coin trading but also reveal the complexity and potential pitfalls in this high-risk field.
This analysis will explore from perspectives such as token purchase preferences, maximum single profit, maximum single loss, trading frequency, position size, and entry timing.
Cupsey: High-Frequency Trading in Search of Diamonds
Cupsey (suqh5sHtr8HyJ7q8scBimULPkPpA557prMG47xCHQfK, Twitter: @Cupseyy) is the top-ranked address in the OKX wallet's top traders list over the past 3 months. His earnings in the past three months are approximately $5.14 million, with a win rate of 67.7%. Additionally, Cupsey has 137,400 followers on Twitter.
PANews analysis found that Cupsey's daily trading style is a high-frequency sniping strategy, investing a certain proportion of funds when a token just opens, then closing the position within 1 minute or several seconds. Due to Cupsey's extremely large trading volume of 95,000 trades in 30 days, a comprehensive analysis of his overall trading strategy is challenging. PANews selected several of Cupsey's recent random trades, as well as his most profitable and most losing trades for analysis.
In terms of trading frequency, Cupsey averages about 910 trades per day in the past seven days. From recent trades, he tends to buy tokens with the same fund proportion within minutes of token launch or opening, usually around 3 SOL. He then sells within tens of seconds to a few minutes. If a token meets certain criteria, Cupsey will also choose to add a position of about $30, generally adding about 10 times. Cupsey's profit targets are usually not high, ranging from tens to $200. Clearly, his logic is not based on a fixed profit-loss ratio, but on real-time market changes. Usually, these tokens will go to zero within minutes, and sometimes the collapse is so fast that he cannot escape. However, his trading speed suggests he has an independently deployed trading API to maximize avoiding being sandwiched.
According to GMGN data, Cupsey's highest single profitable trade was with a token called Dogcoin. This trade was apparently not his usual style - he didn't buy at the opening but entered 40 minutes later, initially investing over $2,000 and then quickly making multiple additional purchases. He held for less than 2 hours before closing, then repeatedly bought and sold this token. He ultimately profited about $17,000.
In his most significant losing trade with the HAT token, Cupsey used his typical sniping strategy, buying within 2 minutes of opening and starting to sell after 30 seconds. However, his initial investment was much higher than usual, directly investing over $2,300. After the first sale, he lost $300. Cupsey seemed confident about this token and immediately increased his position, losing over $3,000 within 1 minute.
From this process, even top MEME players cannot escape the emotional interference of heavy positions. Overall, Cupsey has two execution logics: one is to quickly snipe and sell at opening, making a small profit and leaving. This strategy is not novel; the practical difficulty lies in judging the token within seconds of opening and completing buy-sell within tens of seconds, which must involve relatively complex automated trading tools.
The other logic is a relatively slower trading approach, discovering potentially promising tokens and investing thousands of dollars early, then exiting in batches. However, regardless of the method, Cupsey is generally not a player willing to hold overnight or expect high multiple returns. His approach might represent the current professional MEME player's operation - relying on stable technical foundations and unique trading judgment logic to accumulate profits.
gake: Value Discovery, Wave Segment Master
gake (DNfuF1L62WWyW3pNakVkyGGFzVVhj4Yr52jSmdTyeBHm, Twitter: @Ga__ke) is the second-ranked trader, with a trading style completely different from Cupsey. In the past 3 months, gake earned approximately $2.48 million, with a win rate of about 42%. His earnings per trade are generally between thousands to over $10,000. His trading frequency is much lower than Cupsey's, with 2,141 trades in three months, averaging about 23 trades per day.
In terms of trading style, gake usually chooses tokens with a market value of over $10,000 for trading, and generally does not focus on grabbing the opening. Although sometimes gake will buy some tokens shortly after the opening, through observation, it can be found that he often does this to obtain lower chips rather than to exit quickly.
gake's primary strategy is to find tokens that are likely to go to zero in a short time, while also having certain explosive potential on social media. For example, he usually favors AI, Musk, or MEME culture with an audience base as his theme selection. According to observations, the tokens gake purchases usually have a market value of over $1 million.
Secondly, in terms of entry point, gake will wait for these tokens to fall to the price bottom or chase breakthroughs when there are some positive stimuli. After buying, he will recover a small part of the principal in a short time, leaving the rest to "let the bullets fly" for a while. When encountering tokens with hot themes, gake will trade repeatedly, looking like trading Altcoins in waves.
Overall, gake is a diamond-handed trader with a unique judgment approach. His strength lies in finding valuable information, often discovering potential topics and MEME symbols, and then investing relatively more funds after assessment.
Cented: "Smart Money" Trap and Manipulation Warning
Cented (CyaE1VxvBrahnPWkqm5VsdCvyS2QmNht2UFrKJHga54o) is the third-ranked trader, with earnings of $1.82 million in the past three months. Cented's trading style is highly similar to Cupsey, with the same investment amount and even token trading varieties. Cented is also high-frequency, grabbing the opening, but unlike Cupsey's opportunity-finding process, Cented is a more pure opening-grab robot trader. His holding time is shorter, almost completed within a few seconds to tens of seconds, and almost all trades are bought within seconds after opening, clearly a robot trading address.
However, it's worth considering that although Cented's bill shows current profits of $1.82 million, the actual earnings may not be so. The reason is that the tokens Cented purchases are all newly opened coins, and these newly issued tokens are difficult to rise or profit without other buyers. But from Cented's trading records, almost more than half of the tokens can achieve profits, a probability that obviously does not conform to the issuance rules of MEME coins. Therefore, PANews speculates that the Cented address is likely one of the profit addresses of some "conspiracy group", and its so-called earnings are mostly due to other addresses deliberately buying to raise prices. In other words, it's a left-hand-right-hand operation, and the reason for maintaining Cented's long-term display of profits is to make an address appear as "smart money" to encourage more people to follow, thus becoming the "conspiracy group's" prey.
PANews randomly checked several tokens traded by Cented and found that their creators were without exception specialized "conspiracy plate" establishment addresses. This phenomenon indicates that Cented is either a member or specifically purchases such "trash" tokens. But regardless of which case is true, following Cented is not a wise choice for investors.
Therefore, for addresses that appear to be smart money, investors should keep their eyes open and not blindly follow. During the analysis of MEME smart money addresses, one must always remain vigilant and analyze whether the surface profits of the address align with actual market rules. Otherwise, it is easy to fall into the rug group's trap.
In summary, from these top players' trading behaviors, true success does not rely on a single lucky bet, but is built on unique trading logic, strong technical foundations, and strict risk control. For ordinary investors, blindly following is far less effective than deeply understanding the logic and risks behind these strategies. Maintaining independent thinking and cautious judgment before entering this exciting wealth game may be the most valuable "smart money" strategy.
