An unidentified crypto trader has transformed a modest bet on Asteroid Shiba (ASTEROID) into a substantial gain after enduring more than a year of losses.
In the fast-paced cryptocurrency market, where participants often pursue quick profits, the activity of wallet ‘0x2aff’ presents a stark contrast.
According to Lookonchain, the trader made a high-risk move in late 2024 by accumulating billions of ASTEROID tokens. Although the position initially deteriorated, it has since surged sharply following an extended holding period.
Key Points
- An unidentified trader transformed a $31,000 ASTEROID investment into over $300,000 after enduring a prolonged drawdown.
- The trader initially deployed 12 Ethereum to acquire 4.61 billion ASTEROID tokens in September 2024.
- The position stayed underwater for more than 570 days before rebounding to approximately $301,939.
- Despite the sharp recovery, the trader has not sold, raising questions about whether they are aware of the surge.
Details of the Trade
On September 22, 2024, the trader deployed 12 ETH tokens (approximately $31,000) to acquire 4.61 billion ASTEROID tokens.
Subsequently, the value of the holdings declined steeply in the weeks after the purchase, at one point nearing total loss. The position remained underwater for more than 570 days, underscoring the prolonged downside typical of speculative tokens.
However, market momentum eventually reversed. The ASTEROID holdings rebounded significantly, with their value climbing to roughly $292,000, according to Lookonchain.
At press time, the position has increased further to about $301,939, with each token trading near $0.00006553. Meanwhile, the wallet has remained inactive for over nine months.
This has raised questions about whether the trader is even aware that the once-depleted investment has recovered so dramatically.
Notably, while ASTEROID ranks as the largest asset in the trader’s portfolio, the address currently holds other notable tokens, including BNB, Tether, and Ethereum.

What Fueled the Major Turnaround
Notably, the major rebound in the trader’s portfolio follows the ongoing rebound in the crypto market. Today, Bitcoin’s price reached $78,000, its highest price since February, amid easing geopolitical tension. Several altcoins are already capitalizing on Bitcoin’s rebound, reclaiming new monthly highs.
