A young streamer executed a $30K rug pull with a meme coin by the name of Gen Z Quant (QUANT).
The token was created during one of the kid’s streams. Almost immediately after launching the token, the streamer sold 51 million QUANT tokens for 128 Solana (SOL), worth approximately $30K at the time, netting a profit of $29.6K, according to a Nov. 20 X post by Lookonchain.
After rugging the newly-created meme coin, other investors zeroed in on the token. This caused its price to surge. Data from GeckoTerminal shows that Quant is up more than 33% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.04685 as of 8:21 a.m. EST.
Its market cap currently stands at over $55.45 million. Meanwhile, approximately 20.84K investors also hold the token, which is just over 8 hours old.

Had the young streamer just held on to his holdings, his 51 million QUANT tokens would now be worth $2.389,350. If he timed his exit at the crypto’s peak of $0.11929, the QUANT creator would have amassed over $6 million.
The kid’s antics did not stop after the QUANT rug pull, however, as he went on to create two more tokens with the tickers LUCY and SORRY. He then rugged these tokens as well for 103 SOL worth $24K.
During the stream, the meme coin’s creator showed two middle fingers to viewers as he celebrated the successful rugpull.
