Today I saw someone say that the on-chain "coincidental transfer" looks like money laundering/cryptocurrency trading, and I got a bit anxious... Let's not jump to conclusions. Breaking down the path can basically explain it: half is the router contract swapping tokens across multiple hops, on the surface it looks like A paying B, but actually all those pair/aggregator addresses in the middle are involved; the other half is authorization, refunds, retries on failure, and even “extra” transactions caused by MEV bots jumping the queue. I now tend to follow the internal transactions + event logs to align token in/out at each hop, and many “anomalies” turn into simple explanations like “slippage too large causing split orders.” The same goes for blockchain games—when inflation kicks in, studios run batch tasks, on-chain transfers look organized, but it’s really just scripts exploiting the system, causing a spiral in token prices and a run on the bank... Anyway, don’t just focus on the final recipient address; first understand the intermediate routing layer before drawing conclusions.
