Meme Coin ‘Niu Lai’ Surges, Creator Misses Out on Profits

The creator's negligible payout against a multi-million-dollar valuation points to a structural feature of meme coin launches: the wallet that mints the token is rarely the wallet that captures the upside. Here, on-chain evidence of batch creation and a main pool held by an unidentified party suggests the visible rally may have been shaped by actors other than the nominal issuer. For traders in this segment, the relevant question is whether pool control and creation patterns like these become a standard diligence item, or remain an after-the-fact footnote.
