📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ETHT positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 83% of 3.0Y peak
83% of all-time peak
15 funds currently hold this stock — 83% of the 3.0-year high of 18 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +88% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+88% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
13 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds bought or added vs 13 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 4 → 11 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 53% entered in last year
■ 20% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 53% new
Only 3 funds (20%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +42%, value -40%
Last quarter: funds added +42% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -40%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter
4 → 6 → 4 → 11 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 4 → 11 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 79% of holders entered in last year
■ 5% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 79% new
Of 19 current holders: 15 (79%) entered in the past year, only 1 (5%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 15 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in ETHT. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.6/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
