Smart Money Signals — ZECP

Based on 73 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 10 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 10 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ZECP 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
73 hedge funds hold ZECP 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 — +78% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+32 new funds entered over the past year (+78% 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 — 54% buying

40 buying34 selling
Last quarter: 40 funds bought or added vs 34 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 — ~14 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 15 → 15 → 14. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 42% entered in last year

■ 21% conviction (2yr+) ■ 37% medium ■ 42% new
Only 15 funds (21%) 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

9 → 8 → 15 → 15 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 15 → 15 → 14. A growing number of institutions are discovering ZECP each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🌱

Early stage — 58% of holders entered in last year

■ 18% veterans ■ 25% 1-2yr ■ 58% new
Of 73 current holders: 42 (58%) entered in the past year, only 13 (18%) 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.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 3% AUM from top-100

3% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 73 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 3% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
5.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
