Analyzing wallet concentration patterns is crucial when evaluating token safety. When the top 10 holders control a significant portion of supply, you're essentially gambling on their decisions—one major sell-off could trigger a devastating price collapse. This coordinated dumping scenario is a classic whale manipulation playbook that catches retail investors off guard. The real opportunity lies in identifying tokens with healthy distribution across numerous wallets, where no single entity has outsized control. Decentralized holder bases create natural price stability and reduce the risk of sudden market shocks. Always cross-check the Holders tab before entering any position—it's one of the most underrated due diligence tools available.

Looking at holder distribution is really crucial. Once the top 10 start dumping, it's game over.

After reviewing so many projects, the distribution of held tokens is truly the first line of defense, very crucial.

Looking at the top ten holdings ratio at a glance, you can tell whether this coin is worth touching, which is really crucial.

Seeing the holder distribution can really be a lifesaver; so many people get wiped out and go bankrupt from dumps, but no one pays attention.

Holding 90% of the top ten coins is really a ticking time bomb. If a major holder decides to run away, you're only left with noodles to eat.

Looking at holder distribution is really the easiest step to overlook before entering the market; otherwise, you're just destined to be a rookie.

Data shows that the higher the control ratio of the top ten holdings, the more dangerous it is... However, most people still can't understand the pattern of coin address distribution. When analyzing hourly data of coins that have collapsed, without exception, they all have extremely concentrated holdings, and they will eventually collapse.

Looking at holder distribution is really fundamental. Many people enter the market without a second glance... and as a result, they get wiped out by a big whale's dump.
