Bought a meme coin for $2,800, hit a peak of around $120,000—
Right after Musk showed off the flying Tesla Roadster, a flying-car meme coin popped up on-chain. Someone spent about $2,800 to buy 19.1 million related meme tokens. Their position peaked at around $120,000, and they’re still sitting on about $91,000 worth—they haven’t sold yet. The car hasn’t even gone into production, but the meme has already made the numbers real. Another play on the same theme was even wilder: someone bought YES shares at 10 cents on a prediction market betting that the “Roadster will fly.” A position of about $19,000 is now showing an unrealized gain of roughly $173,000, bringing its paper value close to ten times the original amount. “Tesla can fly,” another meme coin on BSC popular in Chinese-speaking circles, also briefly surged to a market cap of around $1.4 million.
The car is still flying around in a PowerPoint, but some wallets have already taken off. Crypto doesn’t wait for the story to finish—it turns the hype into numbers first.
