Bubblemaps Exposes Potential Control in COAI Wallets: $13M Profits Under Scrutiny

Bubblemaps Investigation Unveils Coordinated Wallet Activity

Blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps dropped a bombshell on October 17, 2025, analyzing ChainOpera AI (COAI), a flagship BNB Chain project blending AI agents with decentralized infrastructure. The report spotlights 60 high-performing COAI wallets exhibiting synchronized behaviors—funded simultaneously and executing thousands of automated trades—suggesting a single entity may dominate half of the top earners, raking in $13 million in collective profits. While no direct ties to ChainOpera’s core team were confirmed, the patterns raise red flags on trading integrity, especially as COAI’s market cap hovers near $1.54 billion amid BNB ecosystem hype. For Gate.io traders eyeing AI tokens, this underscores the need for on-chain diligence via Gate Web3 tools to spot such anomalies early.

COAI’s Meteoric Rise Amid Centralization Concerns

Launched in May 2025, ChainOpera AI claims 3 million AI users and 300,000 BNB payers, with COAI powering payments, data coordination, and agent interactions on BNB Chain. The token exploded 172% last week, surging from $2.30 to peaks near $6.20, driven by listings on Aster DEX and integrations like OKX Wallet for seamless claims. Yet, BscScan data amplifies Bubblemaps’ findings: Top 10 wallets control 96% of supply, top 100 hold 99.74%, fueling fears of manipulation despite locked vesting until late 2026. This concentration—only 19.6% circulating—clashes with decentralization ideals, echoing risks in high-centralization tokens like TRX, where Bubblemaps flagged 64% control rumors.

Implications for Trading Fairness and Gate.io Strategies

The coordinated trades, visualized in Bubblemaps’ bubble charts, question COAI’s market fairness, potentially eroding trust in its 1,486% 90-day rally. While bullish technicals—like a rising channel targeting $64.70—persist, bearish divergences on RSI and MFI signal possible corrections to $15 support. Gate.io’s Web3 wallet offers real-time BNB Chain tracking, ideal for spotting whale moves or airdrop claims amid 40,000 active users. SEO trends in “COAI wallet analysis” are spiking, highlighting Bubblemaps’ role in empowering retail sleuthing.

Outlook: Rally Resilience or Manipulation Risk?

COAI’s AI narrative and BNB tailwinds could sustain upside to $45-$47 if $31 breaks, but extreme concentration invites volatility—watch top wallet activity for dumps.
