Meme Coin Trader Buys $9M of Dogwifhat (WIF) and Then Loses Over 60% to Slippage

But placing such big a trade order on a relatively low-liquidity pool seems to have spelled financial disaster: The buyer ended up purchasing WIF at as high as $3 as prices spiked immediately, in line with how decentralized exchanges work, before prices plunged back down to 15 cents, close to the level before the buys, leaving the trader with a slippage loss of over $5.7 million.
