Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has accused a senior employee at trading platform Axiom of abusing internal tools to access private user wallet data and potentially profit from it
In a detailed thread, he alleged that the employee used internal dashboards to look up wallet addresses tied to specific users and shared that information with a small group tracking high profile traders, particularly those active in memecoins.
According to the report, screenshots of internal data were circulated and several individuals named in the material confirmed that the wallet details were accurate. ZachXBT said he was retained to independently investigate the claims, though he did not disclose by whom. He cautioned that proving specific insider trades would require access to Axiom’s internal logs.

Axiom said it was surprised and disappointed by the allegations, removed employee access to the tools in question and pledged a full investigation.
The episode adds to growing scrutiny around data access and trading ethics in crypto, where transparency onchain does not always extend to internal platform controls.
