Bundled meme coin launches: how to spot linked wallets before you buy

Most people check the top holders before buying a meme coin. If no wallet holds more than a few percent, the coin looks safe. Bundles exist to beat exactly that check: the same person buys through ten or twenty wallets at launch, so each one looks small.

Why bundles are a problem

• The real concentration is hidden: twenty wallets with 2% each can be one holder with 40%.
• They can sell at the same moment, which drops the price far more than any single wallet could.
• They make a launch look busier than it is, which pulls in real buyers.

How to spot them

1. Linked wallets: on sasa, wallets that sent the coin to each other are joined by dashed lines on the holder map and tagged Linked in Who bought.
2. The Linked share: the holder map shows how much of the supply linked wallets hold together. Over about 10% deserves a closer look.
3. Timing: many buys of similar size in the first seconds of a launch.
4. Same funding: wallets funded from the same source just before the launch. A block explorer shows where each wallet's money came from.

What to do if you find one

• Assume the group can sell at any time and size your buy for that.
• Set a stop loss so a sudden dump doesn't take you all the way down. See take profit and stop loss.
• Prefer coins where the creator's coins are locked and no group dominates the early supply.
