According to @bubblemaps, claims of a 99% accuracy single-address match are clickbait because thousands of wallets can fit the same exchange in/out pattern, making attribution unreliable for trading signals (Source: Bubblemaps on X, Jan 5, 2026). @bubblemaps states a one-day gap between funds entering and leaving an exchange is not meaningful for wallet linkage, so timing-based heuristics should not drive SOL or broader crypto trades (Source: Bubblemaps on X, Jan 5, 2026). When including USDC, ETH, and other assets instead of only SOL, @bubblemaps finds 20 matching candidates in the same one-day window with the same dollar value, exposing high false-positive risk for whale tracking and on-chain attribution (Source: Bubblemaps on X, Jan 5, 2026). @bubblemaps adds that deposits may come via bank transfer, multiple smaller deposits, or much earlier activity, breaking on-chain causality and invalidating headline wallet matches for trading decisions (Source: Bubblemaps on X, Jan 5, 2026). The trading takeaway implied by @bubblemaps is to treat single-factor on-chain matches as noise and demand multiple independent confirmations before acting on SOL, ETH, or USDC exchange flow narratives (Source: Bubblemaps on X, Jan 5, 2026).
