Editing Ansem

**Ansem** (X: @blknoiz06) is a crypto trader and influencer whose real name, according to CoinDesk, is Zion Thomas.[^1] CoinDesk named him "The Memecoin King" in its 2024 Most Influential list.[^1]

## Background
He started posting in 2020, tweeting each coin he bought as a public trading journal to an audience of about 100 followers.[^1] He became known for early calls on [[Solana]] and Avalanche, and later for bullish posting on Solana memecoins.[^1] By December 2024 he had about 600,000 followers on X.[^1]

## Style
CoinDesk reported that his largest positions are swing trades, long and short, on BTC, ETH and other major assets rather than memecoins.[^1] He describes his method as reading charts, marking trading zones, timing entries and knowing when to sell.[^1]

## Notable trades
- [[dogwifhat]]: began promoting it at a market cap of about $100,000; it later passed $3 billion.[^1] In March 2025 Lookonchain reported a wallet it labels "Ansem" bought about 2.97 million WIF for 2.3 million USDC.[^2]
- The Black Bull (ANSEM): a [[pump.fun]] token launched by an anonymous deployer in June 2026, who sent 650 million tokens to Ansem's wallet.[^3] Lookonchain reported his portfolio gained more than $193 million in one week as the token passed a $190 million market cap in early July 2026.[^3]

## Controversies
On-chain investigator [[ZachXBT]] accused him of promoting tokens and then selling into the buying his posts created; Ansem denies this.[^1]

On 2024-12-06 he boxed YouTuber Bitboy (Ben Armstrong) at Crypto Fight Week in Dubai; the four-round bout was scored a draw. He had lost his amateur debut in April 2024.[^1]
