Gen Z Trader Rugs $QUANT Token in Livestream For $30,000 Profit

by

As an analyst with over two decades of experience in finance and blockchain technology, I find myself both astounded and amused by this Gen Z trader’s audacious foray into the cryptocurrency world. The dramatic twist of events, from the rug pull of his own creation to the subsequent viral sensation that $QUANT became, is a testament to the unique dynamics of this burgeoning market.

In an unexpected twist, a youthful Gen Z trader broadcasted the collapse of his homemade cryptocurrency, $QUANT, which netted him 128.3 Solana (equivalent to around $30,000), leaving his viewers astonished.

Yet, swiftly responding, the crypto community turned the seemingly forgotten token into an internet phenomenon. In mere hours, Quant’s market capitalization soared to $35 million, escalating the value of the trader’s holdings beyond $1.28 million—had he not sold them earlier.

Enhancing the suspense, cryptocurrency investigators unmasked the trader, revealing his personal details such as name, location, and educational background. Intriguingly, the public rallied behind $QUANT, causing its worth to soar dramatically, while a different token, $KID—previously manipulated and abandoned by the same trader—fell into the hands of skilled professionals who aim to rejuvenate it.

According to reports, the blockchain analysis platform Lookonchain discovered further details about a trader’s actions. It is said that this trader developed and abandoned two additional tokens, named $SORRY and $LUCY, earning approximately $13,000 and $12,000 from each respectively.

He invested 1.5 SOL (approximately $350) to acquire over 51 million $SORRY coins, later selling them for nearly $13,000. Similarly, he used another 1.5 SOL to purchase 51 million $LUCY coins, which he eventually sold for almost $12,000. In total, the trader earned over $53,000 from these ventures. Yet, had he held his tokens, his portfolio could have been worth millions.

The live broadcasts of a trader became widely popular, sparking comments from the cryptocurrency community. One viewer commented, “This youngster could end up in jail at 13,” while another expressed concern that he would regret his actions forever. It’s unclear if the streamer will face any repercussions for these trades.

The event highlights the unpredictability and strength of cryptocurrency markets, as the community transforms a potential setback (rug pull) into a unifying force for joint efforts.
