According to @santimentfeed, Santiment released a deep dive assessing @pentosh1’s public market calls from the past 4.5 months of the crypto bull cycle and benchmarked them against subsequent price performance, alongside a lookup tool to see how coins performed after KOL posts (source: Santiment tweet, Aug 29, 2025). This enables traders to backtest influencer-driven signals, verify post-mention price reactions, and validate event-driven crypto trading strategies before allocating capital (source: Santiment). The analysis is anchored to the current bull-cycle window, helping traders calibrate risk and timing when following KOL narratives using objective post-performance data (source: Santiment).

According to Bold (@boldleonidas) on Twitter, prominent crypto Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) are publicly calling out each other for engaging in grifting activities, highlighting increasing concerns about transparency and ethical practices among influencers in the cryptocurrency sector (source: Bold/@boldleonidas, June 19, 2025). This trend signals heightened risk for retail traders who rely on social media signals, emphasizing the need for independent verification before making trading decisions. Market participants should closely monitor KOL credibility, as shifts in community sentiment can lead to sudden volatility in trending tokens.
