 <li>An enthusiastic trader lost over 60% to slippage on Solana meme coins Dogwifhat.</li>
</ul>
An apparent fat-finger trader, seemingly <a href="https://twitter.com/0xGumshoe/status/1745233155529830454" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spent</a> nearly $9 million on Thursday to purchase dogwifhat (WIF), one of Solana’s most-viral meme coins that netted millions of dollars for early investors in December.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 Someone actually did this an hour ago:
 – Bought $8.8M worth of <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24WIF&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$WIF</a> in 3 transactions – It is currently worth $3.1M
 Sitting at an Unrealized Loss of $5.7M
 Why? <a href="https://t.co/S8gZvYeHYO" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/S8gZvYeHYO</a>

The purchases were done over three transactions worth $6.25 million, $1.78 million and $893,000, blockchain data tied to Solana wallet address “5qYuZ9ZLShLB1MuV83xHRcTgVA9A5pUajnQUUcPbk3bf” show.
But placing such big a trade order on a relatively low-liquidity pool seems to have spelled financial disaster:&nbsp;
The buyer ended up purchasing WIF at as high as $3 as prices spiked immediately, in line with how decentralized exchanges work, before prices plunged back down to 15 cents, close to the level before the buys, leaving the trader with a slippage loss of over $5.7 million.

Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price at which a trade is placed and the actual price at which the trade occurs.
Some market watchers have termed the trade a possible “marketing stunt,” one that could have drawn attention to WIF as prices took a hit in recent weeks.
WIF is up 50% in the past 24 hours on the buying pressure, data from DEXScreener shows. Traders exchanged $35 million on decentralized exchanges alone, and the token has a market capitalization of over $200 million.
The meme coin turned out to be one of the biggest hits in the Solana ecosystem recently, alongside bonk (BONK) and other tokens, as a meme coin frenzy occurred on the blockchain in December.
The significant hype it drew created a lottery of sorts for early buyers, as some turned $1,000 worth of SOL into millions of dollars as prices quickly and suddenly climbed.
