description: The 16 Sep 2026 hunt for @pepeXBT's wallet. No wallet found, and the reason is structural - he states he trades "just cex". Carries his full timing profile, the coins he has named, the FLYBRAIN intersection that produced only bots, and what would reopen the hunt. Read before any pepeXBT question or before spending time on a chart-account wallet hunt.

# @pepeXBT wallet hunt, 16 Sep 2026

- [stated] Ben pasted two screenshots (a thread about "early wif and popcat holders accumulating a new coin", and pepeXBT's profile) and said: "find his wallet. use the coins and timestamps from his x history."

## The target
- **@pepeXBT**, created **26 Nov 2019**, **9,810 followers**, 431 following, **16,478 posts**, blue verified, empty bio and location. Pinned: "sell everything july 2029 and ride off into the sunset" quoting @QwQiao on zcash.
- 600 most recent tweets pulled (Aug 2025 to 16 Sep 2026). Saved at /tmp/px_tweets.json.

## ⚠ THE FINDING: he says he does not trade on chain, and the data agrees
- **10 Sep 2026 14:01 UTC, asked directly by @maybe_cmeister, he replied: "just cex / too many coins watching onchain lol".** That is the load-bearing quote.
- **6 Sep 2026 10:57: "zec is a spot hold; am long near on perps / will add near gains back into zec".** Spot and perps.
- **11 Sep 2026 05:48: "worth adding arb, ethfi to the cex watchlist."**
- **ZERO contract addresses in 600 tweets.** Not one, on any chain.
- Ticker frequency is a majors list: **BTC 14, ZEC 13, ETH 11, SOL 9, XPL 5, NEAR 4, HYPE 3, TAO 3, MON 3**, then single mentions of PENGU, FARTCOIN, DOGE, AI, MOO, MARSCOIN, ANSEM, PUMP, LIT, VVV, CRCL, NVDA, PLTR, HOOD.
- He posts **TradingView charts**, not PnL screenshots. 26 of the last 26 media posts are charts.
- In Ben's own screenshot he asks the room what the coin is: *"what were the other ones? nothing came up in my gcs"*. He is asking, not holding.
- **READ: this is a chart and macro account that trades majors on exchanges and perps. There is probably no meaningful on-chain memecoin wallet to find.** Same class as [[reflection-wallet]], where the target turned out not to be a public on-chain trader at all.

## HIS TIMING PROFILE, solid and reusable
- 600 posts by UTC hour: peaks **12:00-15:00 (41/53/55/36)** and **02:00-05:00 (38/38/41/39)**. Quiet **17:00-23:00** (8/6/**0**/1/4/10/7). **19:00 UTC is ZERO across 600 posts.**
- That is a coherent **UTC+7 to UTC+9 (Asia)** day: asleep roughly 00:00-07:00 local.

## THE ON-CHAIN HUNT THAT WAS RUN, and why it failed
**Best hook found: "let's make the fly filthy rich" posted 11 Sep 2026 03:37 UTC.** FLYBRAIN `0x4Eb990547BCe4a982432CA88Cf5fae7EED1A2d35` launched 10 Sep 20:11 UTC, so the post lands **7.4 hours after launch** — a very tight window on a brand-new token. Reused the complete FLYBRAIN transfer ledger already pulled this session (/tmp/fblogs.json).
- **422 wallets acquired FLYBRAIN before that post** (infrastructure excluded).
- Batch `balanceOf` of all 422 against the five Robinhood Chain coins he has named: FLYBRAIN, MOO, FATCOIN `0x12D5ee7917cA430073C3A638ee1e6f0648A98a01`, AI `0x2E8c31162b855A2ffa90F6F8634643Ad6F111e18`, PONS `0x39dBED3a2bd333467115dE45665cC57F813C4571`.
- **9 wallets hold all five. Every single one is a bot or infrastructure.** Three are mined vanity addresses (`0x00000000cf1cd5867be5d90b99a6ebd683bc031c`, `0x1111110f0f73c0b2ef09ec012eae758b3e03a902`, `0x1111115af63bfbcc151e5753e2ea1a29c79d2f01`); several have nonces of 11,047 / 16,999 / 28,421 / 39,240 / 56,878 / 69,717 / 83,993 / 168,261.
- **Sleep test on the three best candidates, 30 days of transfer legs each, and all three failed flat:**
  - `0x2cffed5d56eb6a17662756ca0fdf350e732c9818` (EOA, nonce 0, 274.25 ETH, holds all 5): **64,931 legs, ZERO dead hours, 34.1% of activity inside his 17:00-23:00 quiet window.**
  - `0x48a097df16c7844a33b1c3d11ab353457846e13f` (contract, 2,650 bytes): **20,733 legs, zero dead hours, 33.1%.**
  - `0x0e331a293bb22e93e2e5e417d84d755ae185da02` (EOA, nonce 618, 50.55 ETH): **19,195 legs, zero dead hours, 31.1%.**
  - Chance alone would put 29.2% (7/24) in that window, so all three are if anything MORE active while he sleeps. No human trades 2,164 times a day with no dead hours.

## DEAD ENDS, do not repeat them
- **"aped asteroid moon bag", 19 Apr 2026 08:03 UTC.** The only ASTEROID that existed on that date is **Asteroid Shiba `0xf280B16EF293D8e534e370794ef26bF312694126` on Ethereum** (9 decimals, supply 420,690,000,000). Pulled every Transfer log for 16 to 21 Apr 2026, Ethereum blocks 24,888,662 to 24,924,561: **ZERO transfers.** Every other ASTEROID (Solana `2UPNvo9seF68bYedZkdDLGbpsL2ydcX7iXxt6fHbf1bQ` 27 May, and all the Robinhood Chain ones) was created AFTER his post. The trade is not findable on any chain.
- **"clipped priceless on bsc", 3 Oct 2025 14:00 UTC.** DexScreener search for PRICELESS on BSC returns only 2026 tokens; the Oct 2025 one is not indexed. Unresolved.
- **fomo.family is the one real gap.** `prod-api.fomo.family` returns **HTTP 430** from the container (auth wall). His fomo book was NOT checked, and that is the single best remaining route since fomo profiles expose a trader's whole book.
- **Ethereum mainnet IS reachable from the container** for future EVM work: `https://ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com`, `https://eth.drpc.org`, `https://rpc.flashbots.net` all answer. `eth.llamarpc.com` 525s and `rpc.ankr.com/eth` needs a key.

## Coins he has named that a future hunt could use
| date (UTC) | claim |
|---|---|
| 5 + 6 Sep 2026 | **fatcoin** "chilling below 50m ready for 9figs" and "good place to be adding into your larger bags" |
| 8 + 10 Sep 2026 | **moo** "memory supercycle is the thesis", "fun for moo holders" |
| 9 Sep 2026 05:02 | **"memefi bags: $ai, $moo, $marscoin"** — the closest thing to a position disclosure |
| 11 Sep 2026 03:37 | **"let's make the fly filthy rich"** (FLYBRAIN, 7.4h after launch) |
| 14 Sep 2026 03:19 | "watching: **pons, ai, moo, stonk, knots, zcat**" |
| 15 Sep 2026 16:40 | "**allinu** is a nice ticker" |
| 2 Oct 2025 | "ive been underwater on my **fart bag**" (FARTCOIN, Solana) |
| 30 Oct 2025 02:52 | "bought some **1 coin**" |

## ALLINU ROUTE, RUN 16 SEP, FAILED (do not repeat)
- [stated] Ben's method: "don't check airdrop recipients, check wallets that BOUGHT allinu before his tweet and that also hold the coins he owned."
- RH ALLINU `0x189Afa6360F3b4D8A2A05CF126C0f5700cdC7777` (created 15 Sep 16:28, 12 min before his post) is an AIRDROP, not a launch: 1B minted, 96.8% burned same block, ~44k-125k sprayed to 113 wallets, only 295 legs, and exactly ONE real pool buyer (`0x3dc654195fa8bc6a29ccdeab418e47dfeb171121`, 692 tokens). All 113 recipients hold zero of his five RH coins. Dead.
- Real ALLINU is SOLANA `4MMQY9bwkxxTtsK3W227Q5ABT6yFY8Pmn9Ze7wmAXKY8` (11 Sep 20:22, $18.5M mcap, stonk.fun, paired DKNG).
- Top-100-trader intersection ALLINU x KNOTS `8RVBk8vxLiUHueLUW1f4izFVqN3nWippLhkohKg6EGkS` x ZCAT `HcRLc9VDgjLeK154xDawfb1dmVJ98DoSqcwTHGqiDeJR` x STONK `6GmAFSYs4gk3FDao5FzzySQpPZaWsa4rUJHacpMpUNgx` gave ONE serious candidate: **`CpKuhcFHogvrq7Fx3enu57xTRkh1WyzER1TVVBimC5mo`** (KNOTS $244k, ALLINU $243k, ZCAT $213k, CATE $196k, STONK $10k, ZEC $3.3k, USDC $475k). Matches his 14 Sep watchlist "stonk, knots, zcat" exactly.
- **KILLED by three tests:** (1) 48.1% of its 160 trades fall in his 17:00-23:00 UTC quiet window vs 29.2% by chance, peak hour 20:00 UTC where he has 6 posts of 600; its dead hours 08:00-14:00 UTC are his busiest posting block. (2) Its two largest plays of the week, CATE ($196k) and USELESS (~$200k churn), appear ZERO times in 600 tweets. (3) It was DUMPING ZCAT and STONK on 13 Sep 20:23-20:48 and 14 Sep 07:17, hours before he posted "place to be buying winners watching: pons, ai, moo, stonk, knots, zcat".
- [stated] Lesson: "stonk, knots, zcat" is the crowded stonk.fun lane, so overlap on it is cheap evidence, not rare evidence.
- **SECOND PASS on Solana ALLINU, also failed.** Widened the buyer set to 264 unique traders across 5 sort fields x 2 directions; **198 started before his 16:40 post; NONE carries his X handle** (the 7 handles GMGN did attach are notanicecat69, traderpow, CookerFlips, 0xMrDQ, 0xForte124, frankdegods, xfilesboy). Pulled full holdings for all 32 wallets that opened ALLINU on 15 Sep.
- Best-shaped candidate of the whole set: **`A6syYRe8feTpAysQMTVEpdJPv2ehQ2dmqste88LtFhga`** — book only $23,142 (ALLINU $13,406 + USDC $9,703), **first ALLINU buy 15 Sep 15:41 UTC, 59 minutes before his post**, and it has traded ZEC, ZCAT, STONK, FARTCOIN, ANSEM and LIT, six names from his tweet vocabulary.
- **CORRECTION to the line above:** 15 Sep 15:41 is `start_holding_at` for the CURRENT position, i.e. a re-entry. The full activity feed shows its **first ever ALLINU buy was 11 Sep 23:08 UTC, 3.1 hours after launch**. Never quote `start_holding_at` as a first buy; always pull `portfolio activity` (note the payload key is `activities`, not `list`, on some pages).
- **Earliness profile, 27 tokens, hours after each token's first pair:** only 4 same-day entries and 3 of them lost money (HOBBES 0.1h, BILLION 0.3h, PAIDCAT 0.5h, F03 0.7h). Everything else late: ZCAT 145h, biketyson 276h, ELON 319h, LOOM 624h, STONK 1,076h, ANSEM 2,116h, ZEC/FARTCOIN months. **Not a serial early-entry wallet.**
- Its whole book is one trade: **ALLINU +$16,125** (realized $9,858, unrealized $6,267). ZCAT +$279, ANSEM +$2, everything else flat or small losses. Total account still only ~$23k.
- **KILLED by the clock, on 220 trades over 6-16 Sep:** the wallet is dead 08:00-13:00 UTC (which includes his two biggest posting hours, 12:00 with 41 posts and 13:00 with 53) and peaks 21:00-02:00 UTC. That is an **Americas clock (UTC-5 to UTC-8)**; pepeXBT's posting histogram is **Asia, UTC+7 to UTC+9**. Quiet-window share 33.6% vs 29.2% by chance, so no suppression at all.
- Three independent candidates from three independent hooks (FLYBRAIN, KNOTS/ZCAT/STONK, ALLINU) have now all failed the same timezone test. Treat the clock as the primary filter on any future candidate, applied BEFORE holdings work.
- `gmgn-cli token traders --chain sol --address X --limit 100 --raw` carries `start_holding_at`, `twitter_username`, `profit`. `gmgn-cli portfolio activity --type buy sell` is the sleep-test feed. GMGN wallet search does NOT resolve an X handle to a wallet.
- fomo.family has NO profile for him: `fomo.family/profile/pepeXBT` and `/profile/pepexbt` both return "User not found". That gap is now closed and is a negative.

## WHAT WOULD REOPEN IT
1. **His fomo.family profile via the Mac Chrome bridge.** Highest value, not yet tried this session.
2. A future post naming a token **small enough and new enough** that the buyer set in the hour before the post is under ~50 wallets. FLYBRAIN was the right shape and still produced only bots, so the next one needs to be smaller.
3. **MARSCOIN on BNB Chain `0xFe189E97832DA1573e4e4Ff034F4fFC3a15c7777`** (see [[marscoin-bnb]]) — he called it a "memefi bag" on 9 Sep 2026. BSC is EVM, so a hit there carries to Robinhood Chain. Not yet scanned.
