A significant on-chain movement within the Solana ecosystem has captured analyst attention, as a major investor, holding nearly $10 million in assets, aggressively entered the presale for the Patos Meme Coin (PATOS). The whale purchased approximately 3.3 million PATOS tokens at the current floor price of $0.000139999993.
The investor, identified via wallet address Dmwc2CjiU8e84pHeTvaToHWCKLxr9SYfspvdgQ4rFExh, is linked to a Coinbase hot wallet containing a portfolio valued at $9,704,420.46. This portfolio includes 34,893 SOL (worth over $2 million) and approximately $7 million diversified across various other Solana Program Library (SPL) tokens, indicating a sophisticated operator deeply familiar with the Solana memecoin landscape.
The accumulation strategy was methodical, involving 10 separate, rapid purchases to complete the position. Analysts interpret this algorithmic dollar-cost averaging (DCA) approach as a tactic to minimize slippage and conceal intent, potentially signaling plans for further capital deployment as the project's liquidity grows.
This whale activity is part of a broader trend of institutional validation for the Patos project. It follows earlier investments from mid-tier "crypto sharks" and comes after confirmation that Biconomy, a top-30 global exchange, will list the PATOS token immediately post-presale. The presale is rapidly approaching its first-round hard cap of 1.11 billion tokens. Upon hitting this cap, the token price is contractually set to increase by 7.15% to $0.0001499999925.
Seasoned investors are acutely aware of the impact of this "ROI decay." For example, on a hypothetical $10,000 investment, a 7.15% higher entry price could translate to a potential loss of ~$1.43 million in future gains if the token experiences a 2000x super-cycle growth event. This mathematical urgency is driving large-scale, early accumulation.
While retail investors ("crypto fish" and "crabs") investing $50-$200 make up the majority of presale participants, the entry of sharks and now this multimillion-dollar whale indicates growing competitive accumulation. The current largest PATOS holder owns around 20 million tokens, a target the new whale may aim to surpass. The project has already secured listing confirmations from 8 centralized and 3 decentralized exchanges, with an ambitious "Operation 111" strategy targeting listings on 111 exchanges simultaneously, which analysts suggest could position it for a record-breaking debut in 2026.
