Why address clustering matters more than balances

October 8, 2026

A single wallet's balance rarely tells the real story — most large holders spread funds across dozens of addresses to obscure size and intent. On-chain intelligence platforms use clustering heuristics (common-input-ownership, change-address detection, deposit-address fingerprinting) to link these addresses into one economic entity before flagging a 'whale.' That's why two wallets moving $60K each can be a single $120K whale move once clustered.
