Solstice bundling: Bubblemaps Ties Top Caller to Bundles
Solstice bundling claims from Bubblemaps link a top Solana caller's wallet to bundles in microcaps he shilled, with connected wallets up about $270,000.
Early story. Some claims here are not officially confirmed yet. We update this post as it confirms.
- Bubblemaps says wallets connected to the bundles made about $270,000 on these tokens, while Solstice's public wallet is down about $70,000.
- The tokens named were $STONKINU, $BOP, $QUEEF and $HEV, with $LLAMA also listed among tokens funded by the same source.
- Bubblemaps says Solstice's public wallet sits just two hops from a wallet that funded the developers of those tokens.

Solstice bundling allegations are the memecoin drama of the day. On Monday, October 26, onchain sleuths Bubblemaps posted a thread accusing @The__Solstice, a Solana trader with 200,000+ followers, of ties to "a massive bundling operation" behind several pump.fun microcaps he promoted. The opening post had about 464,000 views when we checked on Tuesday morning UTC.
What actually happened
The thread lays out a pattern. Solstice rose to fame after going up $5 million on $STONK, becoming the number three trader on Fomo's leaderboard, according to Bubblemaps. Then he heavily promoted a handful of microcap pump.fun memes, posting about them "dozens of times," far more than other tokens.
Bubblemaps says those tokens shared the same bundle signature: dozens of fresh wallets buying at similar times, each holding 0.5% to 1% of supply. It traced most dev wallets back to the same funding route, nine hops away through thousands of intermediaries. It also said more than 100 unused wallets were funded the same way, and warned "more tokens are coming."
Bubblemaps said it spoke to Solstice. Asked whether he knew some of the teams, he said: "People I know from a while ago yeah." The thread adds that another source gave a conflicting account, claiming Solstice bundled the tokens with their help. That second claim is anonymous and unverified.
What the Solstice bundling data does and does not show
TokenPost's write-up adds a useful caution. Netting the two wallet figures gives roughly a $200,000 gap, but that "does not establish that TheSolstice controlled the wallets associated with the gains or personally received that amount." Two hops between wallets is a link, not proof of ownership.
Bubblemaps itself gave him some credit, saying the bundles "didn't rug every token." It also said several clusters "sold heavily into the charts." For anyone who bought after a promo post, that distinction does not help much.
Solstice's own feed did not offer a point-by-point rebuttal at our check. He reposted traders criticizing Bubblemaps, including one calling the move to single him out unfair, and posted about fixing memecoin market structure and a platform called Flywheel.
Bundles are not new. A top-ranked caller sitting two hops from the funding wallet is what makes this one sting.
The other side of the argument
Solstice bundling is not a one-sided story on X. Defenders point out that his biggest win, the $STONK trade, was a real position he held, and that several of the named tokens reached real market caps. Others argue that bundles are now so common that singling out one caller misses the bigger problem.
Both things can be true. A market where bundling is normal is exactly why buyers need to check who sits behind a promo before they ape in.
Why this matters for the meta
Bundling, where a team buys large chunks of supply through many fresh wallets at launch, is one of the oldest tricks on pump.fun. Our Pump.fun top deployers piece showed how concentrated launches are, and Project Kimchi crash showed how fast trust breaks when a caller and a token get too close.
The timing is rough for the whole scene. Pump.fun is already facing a boycott campaign and a lawsuit. When the number three social trader gets tied to Solstice bundling headlines, followers start asking which other calls were clean.
What to do as a reader
If you hold STONKINU, BOP, QUEEF, HEV or LLAMA, check the holder maps yourself on Bubblemaps and see whether bundled clusters still hold supply. Clusters that have not sold yet are future sell pressure.
Treat every caller post as an ad until proven otherwise. Before buying a promoted microcap, look for clusters of fresh wallets holding similar amounts. That is the pattern Bubblemaps flagged here.
Do not pile on with accusations of your own. The evidence shows links, not a confession, and part of it relies on an anonymous source. Read the original thread and decide for yourself. Nothing here is investment advice.
