Notably, in the Cryptoverse, ‘smart-money’ usually represents the cash invested by experienced and well-informed investors. Lookonchain stated that one SmartMoney purchased 5.42 trillion PEPE with 1 $ETH (or $2,100), only to sell 3.42 trillion PEPE for 929 $ETH (or $1.77 million). The on-chain analyst further stated the address still holds 2 trillion PEPE (worth $2.37 million); while the investor’s total PEPE holding at the current price could reap a profit of ~4.14 million.
