About this desk
A CEX-Funded Buys alert means wallets funded straight from an exchange bought in.
When tracked wallets move, CEX-Funded Buys prints it. Medusa Calls adds the context: size against liquidity, wallet history and what those wallets did after.
As a rule, wallet alerts show what money did, which is harder to fake than a post. Medusa Calls follows CEX-Funded Buys on Solana and asks whose wallets they are and what they did before.
Quick test: Open the buying wallet and read its last twenty trades before trusting the buy. Check whether several buying wallets were funded from one source a few minutes earlier.

The desk's screen
Filters are a choice, not a truth. This is the choice Medusa Calls made for CEX-Funded Buys alerts:
- market cap at least $20.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
- at least 100 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 40 %
In the 32 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 2 days), 25 passed this screen. Those that passed had a median market cap of $628.1K, median liquidity of $87.8K and about 919 holders. 4 of the 32 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 22 %.
Values measured on 2026-09-24 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
The checklist
Medusa Calls runs these checks on each CEX-Funded Buys alert.
- Open the chart and confirm the pool, the pair and the liquidity figure.
- Try a small sell early; some tokens restrict selling.
- Search the contract in the Empire Telegram network to see other alerts on it.
- Decide your exit before you enter, including the price where you are wrong.
- Size the position so a total loss does not change your week.
