Cartel Plays

Cartel Plays follows CEX-Funded Buys on Solana: every alert live, the numbers behind them, and the checks that come before any trade.

What a CEX-Funded Buys alert means

A CEX-Funded Buys alert means wallets funded straight from an exchange bought in.

For Cartel Plays, a buy is a fact. The reason behind it is a guess. Cartel Plays uses the CEX-Funded Buys channel for the facts and keeps the guessing for later.

As a rule, wallet alerts show what money did, which is harder to fake than a post. Cartel Plays follows CEX-Funded Buys on Solana and asks whose wallets they are and what they did before.

Quick test: Compare the buy size with pool liquidity; a buy that moves price far is also hard to exit. Open the buying wallet and read its last twenty trades before trusting the buy.

Historic examples only. Each multiple compares the reported market cap with the first alert. Many other alerts in the same period lost value.

The checklist

None of these needs a wallet connection.

  1. Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast.
  2. Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is.
  3. Try a small sell early; some tokens restrict selling.
  4. Confirm the token cannot be minted again or frozen in your wallet.
  5. Write down the level that proves you wrong before any buy.

The desk's screen

Cartel Plays narrows the CEX-Funded Buys lane on Solana with a simple, public screen:

  • market cap at least $10.0K
  • liquidity at least $5.0K
  • at least 250 holders

Checked against the latest 31 alerts in the lane (about 3 days): 14 passed. The passing group sat at a median $670.0K cap with $88.2K in the pool and roughly 1745 holders. 5 of the 31 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. Across the whole lane, the ten largest wallets held a median 22 % of supply.

Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
