📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ZDAI 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.
📊
High ownership — 83% of 1.2Y peak
83% of all-time peak
5 funds currently hold this stock — 83% of the 1.2-year high of 6 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 5Q
The number of hedge funds holding ZDAI is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 57% buying
4 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds bought or added vs 3 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 — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 1 → 1 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +30%, value -60%
Last quarter: funds added +30% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -60%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
4 → 1 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 1 → 1 → 3. ZDAI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
Exit risk score 2.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
