Smart Money Signals — DAPP

Based on 73 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their DAPP positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (97% of max)

97% of all-time peak
73 hedge funds hold DAPP 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.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +49% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+24 new funds entered over the past year (+49% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 42% buying

29 buying40 selling
Last quarter: 40 funds reduced or exited vs 29 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~16 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 14 → 20 → 20 → 16. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 34% long-term, 41% new

■ 34% conviction (2yr+) ■ 25% medium ■ 41% new
Of the 73 current holders: 25 (34%) held >2 years, 18 held 1–2 years, and 30 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~16 new funds/quarter

14 → 14 → 20 → 20 → 16 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 14 → 20 → 20 → 16. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 40% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 40% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 51% new
Of 75 current holders: 30 (40%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 67% AUM from top-100 funds

67% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 73 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 67% of total institutional value in DAPP. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.9
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.9/10 — 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.
