Honestly, displaying KOL wallet addresses on trading platforms might've backfired spectacularly.
Sure, it exposes certain behaviors. But here's the twist—it's actually amplifying panic selling. Traders are now dumping coins the moment they see unfamiliar "influencer" names pop up on the chart selling, even if they've never followed those accounts before.
The transparency meant to build trust is ironically creating more herd mentality. When random KOL tags flash during a sell-off, people assume there's insider knowledge and rush for the exit. Not exactly the outcome platforms were hoping for.

Haha, isn't this just reverse cutting of leeks? As soon as I see a KOL's name, I run...

ngl this is what they call a "transparency trap"... trying to build trust but instead causing mass panic

This transparency has instead become a tool for herding sheep—no one really understands who is selling.
