On February 12, per GMGN Monitoring (link: https://gmgn.ai/base/token/i_m4TE56o8_0xa1f72459dfa10bad200ac160ecd78c6b77a747be), Base ecosystem meme coin **CLAWNCH** has continued climbing recently—surging ~38% in short-term moves this morning to hit a peak market cap of $18.5 million. It currently trades at ~$0.00017, with a current market cap of $17.2 million and 24-hour trading volume of $2.2 million. BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, driven largely by market sentiment and hype rather than actual value or use cases. Investors should be aware of the risks. ### Notes on U.S. English adaptation: 1. **Conciseness**: Used "per" (common in quick updates) instead of "according to"; cut redundant phrasing. 2. **Clarity**: Explicitly labeled "$18.5 million" as "market cap" (avoids ambiguity—price is $0.00017, so the figure must refer to market cap). 3. **Flow**: Used an em dash to connect the surge to its impact (natural for U.S. news/updates).

He closed out the full position for profit when BERA dropped to ~$0.9, netting $630,000 total (nearly a 50% return) over just 4 hours.
