CASHCAT Trader Loses 72% From $3.8M Peak as Token Crashes

CASHCAT traders have suffered heavy losses after the meme coin lost more than 70% from its recent peak, with one trader’s position falling from over $3.8 million to about $1.1 million as the token faced a sharp sell-off.

In an X post, analytics firm Arkham stated a trader with the wallet tag “0x4A5” bought 2% of CASHCAT’s supply at launch for only $144. The trader sold part of the holdings as the token surged, but still holds more than 80% of the original position, with half of the remaining tokens reportedly deployed as liquidity on Uniswap.

The decline has also affected other traders who bought CASHCAT during its rapid rise.

Another investor sold 6.12 million CASHCAT tokens on July 15 after holding them for only one day. The sale brought in 383.6 ETH, worth around $735,000, but resulted in a realized loss of 135 ETH, or approximately $259,000. 

CASHCAT market value drops more than 70%

The token has also declined sharply during the sell-off. According to CoinMarketCap data, its market capitalization fell from $230 million to $70 million and has since dropped further to around $56 million within three days, representing a decline of more than 70%.

The sharp decline prompted crypto influencer Ronald Carter to question the speed of the sell-off.

“How is it possible that a large memecoin like CASHCAT drops from $230m to $65m in 72 hours,” Carter wrote on X.

I am not a tech guy but how is it possible that a large memecoin like $CASHCAT drops from $230m to $65m in 72 hours

Short seller makes $140,000 during the crash

While long traders faced losses, a StablesCraftworth wallet reportedly gained around $140,000 from short positions opened near CASHCAT’s local top, along with approximately $10,000 in funding fees.

Another trader reportedly turned 0.49 ETH, worth about $838, into 580 ETH, or approximately $1.04 million.

Meanwhile, the token’s performance serves as a reminder of the importance of liquidity, community strength, and broader market sentiment in sustaining post-listing momentum. Investors should exercise caution when trading highly volatile tokens.
