ZachXBT's address apparently cashes out nearly $4 million on memecoin
Quick Take Well-known blockchain investigator ZachXBT has apparently cashed out on a memecoin associated with him. “One of my biggest regrets is not prioritizing making money,” ZachXBT wrote yesterday.
An address on the Solana blockchain associated with famed onchain sleuth ZachXBT has apparently cashed out on a memecoin created by an unknown individual.
According to onchain data , investigations.sol received 500 million memecoins distributed by the token's developer — which accounted for 50% of the total supply.
Instead of burning or holding onto the tokens, ZachXBT reportedly used 50% of the supply to add single-sided liquidity to the ZACHXBT/SOL pair.
Later, Zach removed nearly 91 million ZACHXBT tokens and the associated SOL from the liquidity pool.
The ZACHXBT token was deployed less than 24 hours ago. Its market capitalization hit a high of approximately $97 million. Following the withdrawal of the aforementioned ZACHXBT and SOL, the former's market capitalization fell to roughly $19 million.
Investigations.sol has transferred 16,000 SOL — worth roughly $3.9 million — to an address tied to market maker Wintermute through a new address in what appears to be an OTC trade.
"One of my biggest regrets is not prioritizing making money," ZachXBT posted yesterday. They also responded that they are "cooked" and stated that they "wasted time" on work that "never rewarded me at all and only warped my view of doing good."
Reactions on social media have been somewhat mixed, with some claiming ZachXBT "deserves far more money than this for what he's done for the space."
The Block reached out to ZachXBT for comment.
The story is developing and will be updated with additional information.

Volatility Divergence Between Individual Stocks and Index! Popular US Stock Trading: Go Long on Stock Options, Hedge with Index Options
With the divergence in the AI narrative, drastic fluctuations in oil prices, and U.S. Treasury yields soaring to a 20-year high, the degree of dispersion among S&P 500 constituents has risen to the 95th percentile in 30 years. As single-stock volatility continues to compress, entry costs have become relatively low, and the volatility gap between individual stocks and the index has widened again. This has opened a rare window for dispersed trading strategies such as "long single-stock options + short index options."
US Treasury yield curve approaches inversion! Is the bond market questioning the outlook for the US economy?
The U.S. Treasury yield curve is rapidly approaching the inversion threshold—the spread between the 10-year and 2-year yields has narrowed to historic lows, and bank stocks have responded with a technical correction. This warning signal, regarded as a "hard rule" for recession, is tearing apart market consensus: some are betting the curve will soon invert, while others firmly believe economic resilience will mitigate the risk. Amid ongoing Federal Reserve rate hikes, the outcome of this bond market game may reshape the narrative logic of the entire asset market.

From ICU to KTV! The Polarized "AI Narrative" Leaves Investors "Exhausted"
In just two weeks, the Nasdaq 100 experienced an extreme rollercoaster: first losing $600 billion in market value due to “AI threat” concerns, then rebounding to reclaim $3 trillion thanks to the viral Meta assistant. Analysts believe that market sentiment is swinging violently between fear and greed, detached from fundamentals. The turmoil has driven Nvidia’s valuation to a ten-year low, intensified the bull-bear divide, and the high volatility driven by narratives has become a long-term norm for investors. This week, Micron will release its financial report; regardless of the outcome, the sharp swings in market sentiment are unlikely to subside.
