📉
Outflows — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago

⚠️

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -28%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -28%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

48% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 81 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 48% of total institutional value in EMQQ. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
