Bubblemaps alleges Anglio-linked wallets traded ahead of Pump.fun calls

Bubblemaps says five Anglio-linked wallets traded ahead of Pump.fun calls

Bubblemaps alleged on Oct. 14 that five wallets linked to Pump.fun caller Anglio bought tokens seconds before his recommendations and sold minutes later. The firm estimated $130,000 in profits from trading and callout rewards.

Key numbers from the analysis

• $130,000 estimated profit ($50,000 trading, $80,000 callout rewards)
• 534 callouts analyzed over two weeks
• 61% of recommendations preceded by the wallet cluster
• Average buy 20 seconds before callout, sell 4 minutes after
• Two shared deposit addresses cited
• Anglio's public wallet begins with 2ksQ77 and has about 80,000 followers
• Reward shift announced Oct. 10, no retroactive clawback

Anglio’s Pump.fun profile and Alon’s tweets provide primary evidence

Pump.fun’s public profile links the Anglio account and X handle to wallet 2ksQ77, confirming the association. Co‑founder Alon posted on Oct. 10 that rewards would shift from volume to follower profit. He clarified on Oct. 12 that low‑cap callers would no longer be rewarded based on volume alone.

Alon said on Oct. 9 that already‑paid rewards could not be reversed, even if later deemed unjustified.

The Defiant article reports the allegations

The Defiant covered Bubblemaps’ claims on Oct. 14, noting that the analytics firm could not independently verify the trading timestamps or the profit calculations.

Confirmed facts

• Two shared deposit addresses and fund flows were cited by Bubblemaps.
• Pump.fun profile confirms Anglio’s public wallet begins with 2ksQ77 and has about 80,000 followers.
• Alon announced a reward system change on Oct. 10.
• Alon stated on Oct. 9 that past payouts cannot be reversed.

These points are directly supported by Bubblemaps’ tweets and Pump.fun’s own data.

Uncertainties remain

• Whether Anglio controls the five side wallets is not confirmed.
• The Defiant could not reproduce the trading timestamps or profit calculations.
• The exact market‑cap threshold for the new reward rules has not been disclosed.
• It is unclear how the side‑wallet trades affect Anglio’s overall performance.

Without independent verification, these aspects stay speculative.

Why this matters for Pump.fun’s reward shift

The allegations highlight a potential conflict between callers and followers as Pump.fun moves away from volume‑based rewards toward follower profit. If callers can front‑run their own recommendations, trust in the platform’s new system may be challenged.

Next steps in the reward overhaul

Alon said the reward changes began on Oct. 10 and will roll out over several days. The new system will not retroactively claw back already paid rewards, even if they are later questioned.
