📈
Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added KINS 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
97 hedge funds hold KINS 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 — +64% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+64% 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 buyers than sellers — 60% buying
65 buying43 selling
Last quarter: 65 funds were net buyers (21 opened a brand new position + 44 added to an existing one). Only 43 were sellers (27 trimmed + 16 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 38% conviction (2yr+)
■ 24% medium
■ 38% new
Of the 97 current holders: 37 (38%) held >2 years, 23 held 1–2 years, and 37 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
23 → 20 → 32 → 18 → 21 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 20 → 32 → 18 → 21. KINS is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 47% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 47% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 42% new
Of 99 current holders: 47 (47%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 30% AUM from major funds
30% from top-100 AUM funds
23 of 97 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 30% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
