Early ZREAL Buyer Nets Over $600,000 as Insider Trading Claims Surface

  • A trader identified as an “insider” gained over $600,000 in unrealised profits by sniping the ZREAL memecoin immediately upon its launch.
  • The trade used a common strategy of buying early via bots and selling into retail demand as the token gained social media momentum.
  • The incident underscores ongoing transparency concerns on platforms like Pump.fun, where early insiders often profit at the expense of later retail investors.

A new memecoin called ZREAL is blowing up in price and popularity, and one trader made a huge return by getting in right at the start and then selling almost immediately, which is nothing suspicious at all.

Blockchain data from Lookonchain shows the wallet bought very early, describing the trader as an “insider” and saying the wallet accumulated about 66.3 million tokens. It also said around 10 million tokens were sold for roughly US$210K (AU$321K), while tens of millions remained in the wallet with an estimated US$417K (AU$638K) unrealised gain. 

This style of trade is commonly called “sniping” in memecoins: someone gets in immediately (often using bots), then exits as later buyers push the price up. It drew wider attention in early 2025 after Hayden Davis discussed how some memecoin launches can be structured to profit by selling into retail demand, including claims tied to tokens such as MELANIA and LIBRA.

ZREAL Insider Trading

The trade is happening during a small memecoin bounce. ZREAL picked up a quick online following and strong trading activity, and Pump.fun (a popular site where these tokens launch) recently hit about US$1.2 billion (AU$1.84 billion) in daily volume.

It also highlights the bigger issue with memecoins: some launches are built so early insiders can cash out while late buyers are left holding the bag. A research report last year said most Pump.fun tokens were scams, and Pump.fun denied that.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
