Fact Check
The assessment is based on a single, highly authoritative and directly relevant primary source. The X account Onchain Lens, a specialized on-chain analytics provider, explicitly reports on this event. Its summary confirms a trader made a profit of 'over $2 million' from the MON token and subsequently opened a long position on the ZEC token. The profit figure is consistent with the '$2.6 million' specified in the statement. Crucially, this source provides a link to the on-chain data, allowing for independent verification, which significantly enhances its credibility.The other sources provided do not contradict this information. Lookonchain, another authoritative source, discusses different whale activity related to the MON token, which neither confirms nor denies the specific claim. The remaining sources from Messari, Bitget, and Ainvest are irrelevant, as they either provide high-level market overviews or discuss completely unrelated trading events on the Hyperliquid platform. In the absence of any conflicting evidence and with strong, verifiable support from a credible primary source, the statement is very likely to be true.
