Patos Presale Hits 850M Sold: Crypto Shark Buys a Bit of Coins

 The Patos Meme Coin ($PATOS) presale is rapidly evolving from a retail curiosity into a playground for serious capital. On-chain analytics confirm that the Solana-based project has surpassed the critical milestone of 850 million tokens sold, raising nearly $119,500 in total funding. The momentum kicked into high gear this week, with Monday delivering a particularly strong opening session. In a move that has rippled through the presale community, a savvy “Tether Trader” was flagged “aping in” on the floor price event, executing a high-volume acquisition of nearly 4.7 million tokens in a single strategic maneuver.

Anatomy of a “Shark” Byte: The Transaction Details

The transaction, which has since been verified on the blockchain, provides a textbook example of smart money accumulation.

• Transaction Hash ID: 41qY3xfjsXEXXqr5Fbzm6RTpZ2VCYQXkiZXQ7FBwniM6sioxLQdoSKKvfr6SBt9AWLNMCiukEicHSQ49xXEZ572t
• Time: Monday, 10:38 PM (UTC)
• Asset Used: USD Tether (USDT)
• Investment Amount: $655.00 USD
• Tokens Acquired: 4,678,905.636116 $PATOS

By entering at the absolute ground floor of the presale, this investor secured a position size that would cost significantly more once the token hits the open market.

Tracking the Smart Money

What makes this purchase notable is not just the volume, but the source. On-chain forensics reveal that the investor’s wallet is actively linked to a known “Crypto Shark”—a wallet associated with much larger, six-figure investments across the DeFi ecosystem. This connection indicates that the buyer is a savvy crypto trader with a sophisticated understanding of market cycles and potential “moon shots.”

Analysts speculate that this initial buy may be a “test transaction” or a strategic foothold. More purchases could come from this specific wallet in the near future, as the pattern suggests they do not want to miss out on the Patos opportunity before the presale rounds advance and the price increases.

Top 5 Status and ROI Potential

This single purchase of $655 USD was substantial enough to catapult the investor directly into the Top 5 of wallets holding Patos Meme Coins today.

Currently, the leaderboard is topped by a “Whale” investor holding approximately 13 million coins—more than 250% more than this new shark’s current holdings. However, in the high-volatility world of meme coins, the gap between “shark” and “whale” can close quickly.

The return on investment (ROI) potential for this new entrant is staggering. If Patos Meme Coin achieves the 200x crypto moon shot predictions currently circulating in analyst groups, this single $655 buy could theoretically balloon into a six-figure windfall. This asymmetric risk-reward ratio is the primary driver behind the current accumulation frenzy.

FOMO Spreads on the “Solana Gem”

The “decent” sized purchase from a verified crypto shark serves as a massive confidence signal to the broader market. It indicates that hype and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) are indeed spreading beyond retail circles and capturing the attention of veteran traders hunting for the next Solana gem.

The timing is impeccable. In only the 56th day of its presale event, Patos Meme Coin has cemented itself as the top token presale of 2026 by crypto exchange support. The project has successfully negotiated contracts with major trading venues well ahead of launch.

At least 8 crypto exchanges have confirmed they will list $PATOS after the token presale concludes in Q3 of this year. The confirmed roster includes:

1. Biconomy (A Top 30 Exchange)
2. BiFinance
3. Azbit
4. Dex-Trade
5. BitStorage
6. BitsPay
7. CETOEX
8. Trapix
