Crypto trader turns $4k into $1 million in 3 hours 
Cryptocurrency Jan 23, 2026 Share
By the merit of excellent timing, a cryptocurrency trader succeeded in turning approximately $4,000 into more than $1 million within just three hours on January 22, 2026, according to data Finbold retrieved from the blockchain records platform Solscan.
The highly successful trades leverage a new token issued by the publicly-traded company named DeFi Development Corp (NASDAQ: DFDV) and called the DisclaimerCoin (DONT).
Why the DONT crypto trader might be a project insider
Along with being exceptionally successful, the blockchain maneuver hints at either incredible luck or insider knowledge as the investor purchased their first batch of DONT before the company distributed its meme coin announcement.
Another point of interest is that, prior to January 22, the wallet executed only a handful of trades – most of the traffic was accounted for by Solana (SOL) – and spent the last three months completely inactive.
Whether by luck or by insider knowledge, it is difficult to dispute that the cryptocurrency trader has been extravagantly successful when trading the DisclaimerCoin.
The meme coin trade that turned $4,000 into $1 million
Perhaps the best showcase of this is that the first recorded DONT trade – executed some 21 hours before press time in the early morning of January 23 – saw the investor purchase 1.8 billion of the meme coin for just $83.41.

Indeed, in total, they bought more than 29 billion DONT for about $4,100.
On the other end of the maneuver, the first sale – executed approximately one hour later – came close to returning the entire investment as it, despite involving only about 175 million of the meme coin, raised over $3,689, per Solscan data.
Some of the later trades were even more impressive. About five hours after the initial purchase, the trader offloaded more than 17 billion DONT across four successive trades, raising more than $800,000.

Lastly, the most recent recorded DisclaimerCoin trade was recorded 15 hours before press time in the morning of January 23 and appears to have cleared the entire position.
The subsequent transactions overwhelmingly involved SOL or Wrapped Solana. Still, it is also curious that the address received multiple transactions from accounts such as ‘Flip.gg | #1 Solana Casino’ and an automated trading tool designated ‘boostlegends-volumebot,’ which is designed to boost trading volume artificially.
