Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain flagged an on-chain move on July 8: a wallet labeled "Ansem-2" spent $233,000 to buy 2.79 million CASHCAT tokens within three hours. The wallet carries the label of well-known crypto trader Ansem, who posts as @blknoiz06, though Ansem has not confirmed any link to the purchase.
The Solana address CLM6E4 holds 10.5 million $ANSEM tokens and has generated roughly $2.6 million in past ANSEM profits.Investigators tied the EVM wallet to that address through shared transaction patterns, though neither carries an official label. Traders who track Ansem-linked wallets routinely treat such moves as an early signal, making the purchase notable regardless of whether it can be confirmed.
The buy came just as $CASHCAT became the standout asset on Robinhood's newly launched Layer 2 network. The chain went live to the public on July 1, meaning nearly all of its growth was compressed into the past week. The network was positioned around tokenized real-world assets, but its first breakout came from a memecoin. The token jumped more than 1,650% in 24 hours, pushing its market cap to $117 million and making it one of the day's best-performing cryptocurrencies.
The token's name references "Cashcat," Robinhood's original internal codename from its early years, giving it a culturally resonant story that fuelled speculative interest. Despite the price surge, Robinhood has not endorsed the memecoin. The rally gained momentum when Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev posted that the chain works well for memes and followed the token's official account. The comment reversed a position he had staked out days earlier. In a July 2 CNBC interview, he had described memecoins as largely a dead end and said tokenized real-world assets were the more durable direction for crypto.
The Ansem-2 wallet was not the only notable move. Lookonchain flagged a separate wallet that turned $838 into over $1 million by buying 15.04 million CASHCAT tokens roughly 20 days earlier and selling 13.5 million for a profit of about $917,600.Daily volume on the Robinhood Chain Uniswap V3 pair jumped to about $212.3 million on July 8, according to Dune data.
The rapid gains highlight the volatile nature of memecoins, where price swings are driven by social media sentiment and perceived celebrity involvement. Early investors in CASHCAT saw extraordinary returns, but such rallies can reverse sharply, leaving later buyers exposed to steep losses.
