Arkham Intelligence Unmasks Crypto Wallets of Influencers — Including Trump!

Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence has launched a new tagging system, allowing users to track crypto transactions of high-profile figures in the space.

The system applies to anyone with over 100,000 followers on X, labeling them “Key Opinion Leaders” (KOLs) and linking their associated wallet addresses.

Arkham’s 950-tagged addresses include:

🔹 Vitalik Buterin — Ethereum Co-Founder
🔹 Justin Sun — Crypto Entrepreneur
🔹 Changpeng Zhao (CZ) — Binance Founder & Former CEO
🔹 Andre Cronje — DeFi Pioneer, Yearn Finance & Sonic Labs
🔹 Donald Trump — U.S. President & Crypto Reserve Advocate (!)

🚨 Yes, even Trump’s wallet is being tracked! This could provide insight into his crypto holdings, especially following his controversial memecoin launch and the U.S. Crypto Reserve plan.

1️⃣ More Transparency: Users can monitor transactions of influential figures, exposing potential market-moving activities.
2️⃣ Privacy Concerns: Critics argue this system invades financial privacy and could be weaponized for political or legal scrutiny.
3️⃣ Regulatory Implications: Could governments start using Arkham’s data to track crypto whales?

Arkham has yet to confirm how they verified these addresses, but this could change how we see public figures in crypto.

What do you think? Is this a win for transparency or a privacy nightmare?
