What about Asian KOLs?
DeepSea's Asian KOL report for the same week found just one Asian KOL with closed trades on Solana: Cowboy (@feibo03), a Chinese-speaking trader, at minus $82 over two red days, after +$12 the week before. No new Asian KOL wallets were spotted. It was a quiet week for the group, not a lucky one.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the main lesson is simple: following influencers is not a shortcut. Nearly three in four of them lost money this week, and DeepSea itself says KOL calls are no free edge.
- DeepSea's data does not show how the traders with seven green days trade, only that they closed each day in profit. Anyone copying them sees their trades only after they happen.
- Big totals can hinge on one account. Smart money's $2.10 million loss was mostly a single wallet, SMFrca, which lost $1.81 million on its only trading day.
What's next
- Whether zeropnl and cupsey keep their streaks next week
- Whether Solana smart money returns to profit after a $2.10 million loss
- New Asian KOL wallets in DeepSea's next report
