📉

More sellers than buyers — 40% buying

💎

Elite ownership — 57% AUM from top-100 funds
57% from top-100 AUM funds
46 of 610 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% of total institutional value in POOL. 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 3.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
