According to blockchain sleuth Lookonchain, BALD’s meteoric rise saw some savvy investors make huge returns. One such case involves four addresses that used 0.534 ETH (roughly $1k) to purchase 50 million BALD. The transactions occurred within minutes of Bald’s launch and accounted for 50% of the total supply.
Per Lookonchain, the addresses then quickly sold 37 million BALD to make an outsized return of 554 ETH, or over $1.04 million.
