Someone asked me whether those "coincidental transfers" on the blockchain are insider trading or not. I usually tell them not to jump to conclusions right away. Many paths that look like codes are basically: the same source of funds split into several parts, taking different routes, passing through one or two routers/aggregators, then entering an exchange or cross-chain bridge, and finally "meeting" at a certain address. If you only focus on the last transaction, it might seem mysterious, but if you analyze the timing and the permissions of the intermediate contracts, you can generally explain it as more ordinary operational habits.

Recently, Layer 2 is still competing over TPS, fees, and subsidies, making a lot of noise, but the most honest indicator on the chain is the flow of funds: whenever subsidies come, some people harvest in bulk; when bridges open, some move assets around; and "coincidental" transfers happen even more. Anyway, I prefer to be the spoilsport—first clarify the path before talking about conspiracy theories.
