Bubblemaps estimates Ethan made $125K from 49 token callouts

Onchain analytics platform Bubblemaps has published an investigation into @0xEthan, a crypto influencer active on pump.fun. It alleges a repeatable pattern: buy first, promote second, sell almost immediately.

Bubblemaps estimates the activity produced roughly $125,000 in total profits across 49 token callouts. For the roughly 88,000 people who follow the account, that number may land a little differently than the original posts did.

The investigation, released on October 9, 2026, looked at 49 specific tokens that @0xEthan promoted to his audience. According to Bubblemaps, wallets associated with the influencer bought each token shortly before it was publicly promoted.

The selling reportedly started fast. Bubblemaps found that the linked wallets typically began unloading tokens about three minutes after a promotion went live.

Bubblemaps says the selling often happened while @0xEthan was still talking up the tokens' upside to followers.

Bubblemaps characterized the pattern of pre-call buys followed by rapid selling as an "extraction scheme." The firm also described the activity as ongoing, rather than a closed chapter.

The headline figure comes from two separate income streams, according to Bubblemaps' calculations.
