It is important to remind that despite James Wynn’s impressive trading profits, ordinary investors should not underestimate the significant risks associated with his trading methods. For the vast majority of regular investors who have limited risk tolerance and lack professional market knowledge, blindly mimicking such high-risk, high-leverage trading strategies could lead to unbearable financial losses.
In simpler terms, without proper training, one should not attempt to imitate; following his wallet could also lead to losses!
The Legend of PEPE Trading
James Wynn is known as a legend in the meme coin space, and his connection with PEPE began in 2023. At that time, he invested an initial capital of only $7,000 into PEPE. With precise timing in the market, he successfully traded over 10 trillion PEPE tokens between April and May 2023, rolling his initial $7,000 into an astonishing profit of about $25 million.
After a period of silence, Wynn recently, from May 14 to May 24, 2025, again closed his positions in PEPE, bringing him another substantial return of approximately $25.18 million. These two successful trades in PEPE have officially pushed his total profit on a single cryptocurrency beyond $50 million.
Despite the recent large-scale liquidation, Wynn has previously stated publicly that he believes PEPE is still “severely undervalued.”
