Smart Money Signals — CBAN

Based on 130 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CBAN than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
130 hedge funds hold CBAN right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶

Steady growth — +20% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+22 new funds entered over the past year (+20% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 62% buying

75 buying46 selling
Last quarter: 75 funds were net buyers (28 opened a brand new position + 47 added to an existing one). Only 46 were sellers (30 trimmed + 16 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+9 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new CBAN position: 8 → 19 → 19 → 28. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

47% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 47% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 31% new
61 out of 130 hedge funds have held CBAN for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

15 → 8 → 19 → 19 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 19 → 19 → 28. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 54% veterans vs 28% newcomers

■ 54% veterans ■ 18% 1-2yr ■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 130 holders: 70 (54%) are 2+ year veterans, 23 entered 1–2 years ago, and 37 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 29% AUM from major funds

4.1
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
