After placing one token on a memecoin with a dragon motif on the Solana blockchain, a trader from Solana who had 1.5 SOL
Lookonchain, a blockchain analytics website, reported a fortunate trade on December 27 in which a Solana holder acquired approximately $2 million by purchasing a memecoin. Although the trader initially only possessed 1.5 SOL, on December 5 the user learned about Silly Dragon (SILLY), a meme token with a “silly dragon” as its mascot.
The trader traded one SOL, which was valued about $62 at the time, for 43 million SILLY tokens five minutes after the memecoin started for business. Twenty-two days later, the tokens were valued at about $2 million as SILLY’s price soared to all-time highs, with a market capitalization of more than $123 million.
According to on-chain data, the trader has already withdrawn around $528,000 while leaving around $1.5 million worth of tokens in the wallet.

Following Solana CEO and co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko’s Nov. 8 X post declaring that this is the year of the foolish dragon, the memecoin was developed. Yakovenko’s Halloween attire at the Solana Breakpoint 2023 conference in Amsterdam was mentioned in the tweet.
Yakovenko’s tweet “infused a fresh and playful energy into the Solana narrative,” per the Silly Dragon website. The coin is just “for entertainment and educational purposes,” according to the website’s disclaimer, which also states that the creators are not responsible for any losses or damages.
