TL;DR Breakdown

  • Aziz McMahon makes fortune from Doge investment
  • Doge metric rise over the year

Aziz McMahon is another person who has hit the jackpot thanks to his Dogecoin crypto investment, as he reportedly made millions from the meme coin.

The London-based executive took a bow from his job with the bank after working with the financial institution for more than 14 years, his LinkedIn profile shows, according to eFinancialCareers.

According to the site, McMahon might be starting a hedge fund that cited sources at Goldman as he is yet to respond to requests for comment, but Goldman confirmed his departure to Insider.

Also, the exact amount McMahon made from his Dogecoin holdings was not made public. Sources claimed that it was a substantial sum, pointing out that DOGE rallied over 1,000% in value this year.

The former Goldman Sachs executive made his Dogecoin fortune trading with a personal account and was not affiliated to Goldman Sachs.

Dogecoin metric rise over the year

Although at press time, the meme coin is on a decline and has been over the past seven days, however, this does not diminish the success the meme coin has enjoyed so far in the year.

The meme coin has recorded landmark gains outstripping the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), in the number of related internet search queries.

Doge has emerged as the fastest-growing digital currency since 2021, began posting up to 13,500% growth year-to-date, and surging from just $0.005 to an all-time high of $0.68 on May 7.

Dogecoin’s recent tumble came after Musk called the meme token a “hustle” on SNL, adding that it’s “as real” as a dollar bill. However, the meme coin is having a run for its recent surge as a clone, and rival coin, Shiba Inu, has been surging above it recently.

The coin has broken to a new ATH but has seen a 13 percent decline at press time.
