Found a very ’dasting, and complex, thread on Reddit. I remember reading about European Dark Pools at some point a while back. This thread is looking like the receipts for that claim.
It’s so long only about half of it fits in the thread box, so here’s the link and TLDR to start, thread to follow in a comment.

Part 2: https://greatawakening.win/p/1ARK57rgOJ/x/c/4eXu1hTNh6W
Summary and TLDR
To summarize the implications to the global markets, I lean towards believing that the extreme derivative behavior around Gamestop’s stock price is a hallmark of shadow banking behavior, massive price arbitrage, regulatory avoidance, hidden risk structures like those that collapsed Archegos, and fragile market structure that relies on a few over-leveraged “nodes” to function. If I am even partially right, it raises questions like:
Who is holding these derivatives and exposures? Is it Archegos/Credit Suisse leftovers in the hands of UBS? Citadel? Hedge funds? Why this specific stock? And what happens if it is halted, delisted, bankrupted, or explodes as a massively successful turnaround story?
https://files.catbox.moe/y1r77b.webp
Just going to leave this here as a little tongue-in-cheek way to drive that last question home. The turnaround of Gamestop is not just a theoretical possibility, it seems inevitable. “Apes” won, saved the company, and it’s fundamentals are detaching tremendously from its valuation. What happens when one side of the bet must capitulate? It seems that day is rapidly approaching. As you can see with Palantir, stock prices do not stay detached from reality forever.
This has been a grind of a read, so let me just end it here with a final thought, that I think most logical people can get behind, assuming they find the data itself compelling:
If massive derivative activity happens around a small retail stock, but not around major macroeconomic events, it suggests the stock is being used as a key piece in the hidden mechanics of financial risk. It’s like finding a tiny bolt in a skyscraper that, if it breaks, sends shock waves through the building, while literal earthquakes from outside the building don’t.
We tend to think that Gamestop is just another stock on the global market. But what if Gamestop is just… where the game stops?
TL:DR:
- 🕵️ Bizarre Data Anomaly: The author examined public DTCC data, specifically the outstanding notional value of "equities, single-sided non-EEA" derivatives (complex, cross-border equity transactions) - which typically hovers around $2–$3 trillion.
- 📈 Astronomical Spike: This value inexplicably spiked to an absurd and unprecedented peak of nearly $485 QUINTILLION (485 million trillions), a figure many times larger than the entire global economy.
- ❌ Confirmed by DTCC: The DDRIE (a DTCC repository) confirmed the data was accurate and compliant with regulatory requirements, despite the author's initial belief it must have been an error.
- 🎮 Gamestop Correlation: The start of the spike precisely coincided with the week that DFV began posting about GameStop again, linking the anomaly to the stock's run-up.
- 📉 Decay After Offering: The massive quintillion-dollar figure rapidly collapsed back to its normal baseline only after GME CEO Ryan Cohen issued a 75-million share stock offering.
- ⚠️ Shadow Banking Risk: The author concludes this extreme, anomalous trading, which was not seen during other major global crises like the COVID-19 crash, suggests the stock is being used as a critical component in complex shadow banking activities, creating a fragile, hidden systemic risk in the global markets.
This is what we'd expect to see if Gamestop were part of the plan.
👍👍
It’s beautiful, ain’t it?
It is my smooth-brained anon thinking that MOASS is an asymmetric way to drain cabal funds while leaving non cabal funds less affected.
Once thing we can easily see it that the apes are retail investors - ie. mainly the public and that the shorts are all cabal institutions, it's probably where they keep their money and periodically multiply it by driving shorted companies out of business.
So, if I were the white hats and wanted to transfer wealth from the cabal to the non cabal side, MOASS would be a mechanism. The cabal must be de-funded if it is to be defeated.
I'm an ape, but not a finance expert. What do you think?
also u/pbman2, u/queue-anon
We need a scare event to wake people up. This would do it. And we can't make the world great again,without getting the boots of the bankers off our necks. They are the power behind the cabal of crime.
I expect a big market crash when it happens and a nice recovery when the markets straiten out. Another point that is going on is blackrock is receiving billions of dollers every two weeks from the 401k contribution of govt paychecks. Its all invested with them,in the thrift saving plan. They have not received any new money for a month now......
It's important that the crash preferentially affects the cabal and not the ordinary person. It needs to be a reverse of all the cabal engineered crashes of the 20th century where the moneyed cabal scoops up assets and slides away while the people suffer terribly.
I agree. But a little wake up,will not hurt.
I'm def not a finance expert, I just follow the GME comms. One post that I find connecting consistently to GME accounts used for sending comms (Greg, RC, LC and sometimes Trump's posts) is this:
u/#q1728
Don't know what it means. I have some theories though (other than the obvious missile/rocket launch GME to the moon symbolism)
NK Q posts also keep connecting to GME comm accounts.
Connecting comms are another sign that Gamestop / MOASS is a white hat operation.
Yep. I mean, the White House just recently retweeted GameStop. It can't get more obvious than that.
It’s a nice affirmation that we aren’t totally regarded.
… probably.
I’m not a finance expert, only literate, but that’s how I see it as well.
It also makes sense that they would hide the bad assets and liabilities in Europe, since that’s their power center.
I don’t think it’s only GME here either, but that the WH set up several traps for this to happen with. Someone had a comment a few months ago proposing AMC as best-value-for-dollar at this point.
It may be, but it’s not called Game Stop with a Q drip referring to that exact phrase.
Other threads here around this topic:
One thing I’d like to see discussed a bit is exit strategy. Large sums of wealth are not trifling things and great responsibility needs to be exercised. It will be for the best of us all if more of us are better able to manage bananas.
Wealth impacts trust networks, requires planning and setup, and other things. Even people with modest wealth now (500k-5m) are likely to be surprised with the impacts of larger amounts of wealth. It seems like a good thing to be ready for it beforehand….
Yeah, I've been wondering about that too. I still don't have a good exit strategy except that if I do become wealthy I have figured out over the years that there isn't anything extravagant I want except security for my family, which is actually something that I don't fully have at that moment.
Same, I just want to be able to buy a house. And take care of my parents and family members. Don't want some big yacht, expensive cars or a mansion.
If I earn well over what I need, I will use it to help communities, donate to real scientists who research cures, etc.
Still takes management. Even in that 500k-5m range, without a plan, you can lose it real quick.
Think about what gets said about all the lottery winners. Mind you, they see the lottery as a cheat code to easy riches which is very unhelpful, but even without that, there is always a class of people looking to part anyone they can from his money, and more money = more of those people.
I’m going to put something together on this at some point, but I’m not a finance advisor.
Thank you, when you do, I'll read it and not treat it as financial advice.
Other than that, I thought I might go ask a wealth management expert and perhaps get some property and some precious metals.
u/AmateurExpert
The problem I have with this is that "money" isn't real. It doesn't exist. It is completely decoupled from real assets. So even if the Cabal "owes" quintillions of dollars, it's worth less than air. It's a flip of a switch, and the Cabal owns and controls all the switches.
My investigation suggests (clearly) that switch flip has always been the cabal plan. I'm not saying that GME is that plan, but some similar plan, some "reset" has been the Cabal plan since the Federal Reserve was put into place in 1913 (earlier really).
Having said that, it looks to me that Q et al are running the same plan as the Cabal plan with a few tweaks (at least that is my hope, and there is substantial evidence that supports it). It is possible (probable) that GME is one of those Q tweaks. Maybe a redirected and controlled destruction?
The point is, this imminent economic destruction through derivatives is in line with the Cabal, so any belief that "we are destroying the system" isn't sufficient "evidence that We The People are winning" because we are clearly following the Cabal plan.
Both sides are planning some kind of reset and are in a kind of tactical conflict for control of the outcome state?
I'd never thought of it exactly like that. It makes sense.
My investigation suggests there is one single entity in control. There are many people involved in this entity (we'll call it "the Cabal"), arranged in a hierarchy. The people we think are in control are people like Gates, or Larry Fink, or (formerly) Clinton, Obummer, etc. These people have operational input, but they are ultimately just frontmen. Behind (sitting on top of) them are the Families (Rockefeller, Rothschild, etc.) that seem to have been "reduced from their former glory" but who actually hide a mountain of assets behind Foundations, Shell Companies, Holding Companies, etc.; "Corporate Entities" (non-corporeal AKA non-existent entities created through legal fiction).
Behind the Families are ???
All operations that matter, the "power plays" are controlled by that entity, through it's Hierarchy. All the things that seem to be in "opposition" are in fact Controlled Opposition. Even when we think one side or the other is "winning," in fact they are all going according to The Plan; the Cabal's Plan. That is why we have been told countless times: "Enjoy the Show" and "Nothing Can Stop What is Coming." Q didn't create a "New Plan" so much as take control of the old one, with a few tweaks. Q has control of the top of the Hierarchy and thus the Cabal's plan. Q IS the operational top of the entire system, displacing the previous top (the "???" part of the System). The System is still in place, and all the things occurring are still happening according to the Cabal's plan, Q just replaced the previous Top with itself.
That was the only possible way to win the game. To be the only one playing it; playing the same, previous game that's been running for the past few centuries.
That is why I do not trust Q at all. Everything... EVERYTHING I have found for about 250 years(ish) have been completely controlled by a single entity. Before that time period it was similar, and the same entity has been mostly in control for at least around 2000 years, but the entire thing has been controlled by a single entity for around 250-350 years. The only reason I think Q is working for We The People in earnest and not just another level of Controlled Opposition is because of things that are just a little bit off, the "tweaks." We are seeing just a few too many things that we shouldn't be seeing. The main plan is solid though, and both sides are working towards the same goal; the Apocalypse.
The question is, what does the "Apocalypse" mean? Is it desolation (what people think that word means)? Or is it revelation, revealing the truth (what the word actually means)?
We shall see.
The difference that I observe between the white hats and the black hats ( which you would describe, I think, as two different cabal factions ) is that the white hats so far respect the laws that exist right now and work within them, and the black hats cheat ( and example is elections )
So there is a qualitative difference, unless the white hats change modus operandi.
I will try to attempt to be less "explanatory" than I often do because I've noticed recently that I tend to be not fully listened to. I blame myself for this entirely. I'm sure that I am too wordy, even though I attempt to avoid that.
My investigation has shown me that everything has been purposefully delinked, separated, selectively categorized. Because of the Cabal's primary construction method of the Matrix; the revisions, and especially the separations of history and intent; the focus of my investigation has been about the connections. As a purely random example (I'd been looking at something related as a part of my investigation), if you know that Rothschild and Rockefeller had started WWI (in part) to destroy the German economy, and then created the BIS (in part) to fix the German economy so they could fund Hitler and create the Nazi's, which in tern was done so that they could push the Jewish Europeans into Palestine to fulfill prophesy, the proof of those connections (funding, explicitly stated intents, etc.) completely changes our view of WWII, and indeed the entirety of our view of the world.
Because I have found these connections all over the place, I tend to want to explain them. I have found that if people see the evidence of those connections they tend to understand better who the enemy actually is, and how they actually operate. From that understanding they can engage in the right battle. However, by giving too much information, I lose more listeners than I gain. It's a difficult quandary that I haven't figured out yet.
Aside from this intro, I hope to be less "involved" in my elaboration than I would like.
As far as I'm concerned, "the Cabal" is the people who are working against We The People, and they know they are doing so. Everyone else is... someone else. There is a supergroup (or if you prefer, a superset) of people that the Cabal chooses from. That supergroup is the Aristocracy (a genetic group). I'm not going to go into to who that supergroup is at this time for the reasons I stated previously.
The White Hats are a group of people who are working towards We The People and have the power to do so. Because I have found unbelievable levels of convoluted Controlled Opposition, I am not convinced that the group we call the White Hats actually exist. (You wouldn't believe what I have found. I'd guess 95 of 100 operations from history that we think of as "against the Cabal" has been Controlled Opposition of one type or another). The White Hats are also from the same Aristocracy.
So the WH and BH aren't "Cabal factions," they are different factions of the Aristocrats. I've found some factions from history that are different from both the WH (for We The People) and acting against (We The People as I define the term). This group is self-serving and also from the same Aristocracy (all documented cousins of the same extended family of Arians). I'd love to elaborate on that because I've written hundreds of pages on "the family who really rules the world", but again, that's outside of this scope.
I understand why you say that, but I can give perfect examples of both the WH's "cheating" (acting against the law) and the BHs completely respecting the laws (indeed, almost all laws were written by BHs, including a fair bit of the Constitution and most of the laws since it was written, not to mention pretty much every single law written after around 1850).
I suggest a better metric is whether or not people are really waking up and are uniting (a non-partisan "seeing who the real enemy is, and how we have been controlled"). But Controlled Opposition is everywhere (specifically the "Limited Hangout" variety), so even that is not a solid indicator. As far as I can find, everyone on the world stage is controlled by the same Director (now Q), so even if someone appears to be working for the BHs, if the action wakes people up en masse that is ultimately a WH operation.
The only real difference is how society changes from asleep and divided to awake and united.
If you understand the true levels of Controlled Opposition, WH and BH can only be understood by the actual effect on We The People. The removal of the entanglement from the Matrix.
P.S. I completely failed in my intent to be sufficiently succinct.
/sigh
This is the problem with being out of work for a few years spending thousands of hours investigating historical events from exclusively primary sources without the restrictions of my previous indoctrination.
Exactly. Q even stated everything must be done by the book (law).
I was on the Q train an hour after Qdrop#1 came out.
I was a few months late to the GME train (april was my first buys)
I never thought they would BOTH be part of the same thing (great awakening) until maybe 3 months ago or so.
But the more and more I think about it, and see Anons here also talking about it, MOASS is hopefully the white hats plan to take money from the evil hedgies and corrupt oligarchs, and gives it back to the people.
Wealth distribution, giving us our stolen money back, like RobinHood (the story one, NOT the scammy Bulgarian vampire CEO trading platform (that steals your money and doesnt give you real shares))
I just hope this party gets started SOON. its been 84 years. Lets see some FIREWORKS

Apropos.
"GameStop" = "Game Over" in the plan
Admittedly and without excuse, i am a financial dumbass. That neuron never devolped.
So I'll just ask...are my shares that I've HODL for yrs now, worth anything? If so, when? As of now I'm losing $..
Please, if one can help it, don't excoriate me.
Thanks.
Don't feel bad, they make the markets and instruments extremely confusing on purpose, so that us everyday people, just trying to get by and live life, can't figure out we are getting screwed.
Regarding your shares, I believe the WHs will reward us in the end.
Thanks, fren.
Here’s something odd - why is the Transfer Agent for TMTG in the Crown province of Canada?
Grok:
Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, the transfer agent for Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (TMTG, ticker: DJT), operates its U.S. office in Woodbury, Minnesota, but is a subsidiary of Odyssey Trust Company, a Canadian firm headquartered in Calgary, Alberta—a province under the Canadian Crown.
TMTG selected Odyssey primarily because of its specialized expertise in SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) transactions. TMTG went public in March 2024 through a merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC), a SPAC. Odyssey provides comprehensive services for SPACs as both a transfer agent (managing share registrations, transfers, and investor records) and a trust company (handling escrow and compliance), all under one roof. This streamlines the complex process for emerging public companies like TMTG.
Canadian transfer agents like Odyssey are popular among U.S. firms for several practical reasons:
Cost efficiency: They often offer competitive pricing compared to larger U.S.-based providers like Computershare or Continental Stock Transfer.
Regulatory alignment: As a registered trust company in Alberta (regulated by provincial authorities), Odyssey complies with SEC requirements for U.S.-listed stocks while leveraging Canada's stable financial ecosystem.
Proven track record: Odyssey serves hundreds of North American issuers, including many SPACs, and has co-agents in major cities like Vancouver, Toronto, and even London and Hong Kong for global reach.
“King Charles”, unless something happened we don’t know of yet…
I recommend checking some of this.

Thanks...i'll ck it out now
As long as you don't sell them at these UNDERVALUED prices, yes they are worth a LOT.
You just can't see the real price now, and we KNOW it has to go higher once the shorts need to close/cover and buy back billions of shares (IOUs they created) so your GME shares are worth way more than you see on the fake price tickers now.
The evil actors are keeping GME artificially priced low, to try and scare out anyone who doesn't know better. Its similar to the gold/silver prices are being artificially held down, when they SHOULD be worth a fuckkload more.
But for the LOVE OF GOD, if your GME shares are in robinhood, or some of the other cheap brokerages, you WILL lose them during moass.
robinhood and shitty brokers have ALREADY PROVEN they will lie cheat steal (they shut off the buy button once already).
If your GME shares aren't locked down in COmuterShare under your OWN NAME, then they are at risk of being confiscated by evil wallstreet shorts.
DRS YOUR SHARES to be fully insulated from fuckery!
Great info! I'm safe.
u/queue-anon just reposting this thread was a lot of work! This thread is a big freaking lift. Massive kudos to the ape that grew this banana.
Patiently waiting for the MOASS.

Part 1
Hello there, hope y'all had a great (or at least decent) weekend.
While browsing around, I found a post in another sub that did catch my attention, so I thought I'd share it here aswell and see if it can bring some useful discussions. It involves big (very big) numbers and "glitches".
All the credits for this post go to its author (user GMEPieMan) - I'm just re-posting here with his permission since as I said I thought it can be worth a read. As usual, TL:DR: at the end;
August 20th 2025
The Gamestop Saga Is Weird. The Data Is Even Stranger.
When I first saw this data it bewildered me enough to fall a bit silent on the topic. I've finally formed a hypothesis about what I found.
I’m going to start this off by saying that this article will not be “fun” to read. It’s going to be full of charts, tables, and definitions of things. I apologize in advance. That said, I think the largest criticism people like me face is the claim: “you guys just invest on memes, you don’t even have data to support your arguments,” so this is a necessary article.
You probably already know what this is about. If you don’t, I recommend reading my previous, (and much more entertaining) article, outlining how we got here. The story is weird. The community involved in it is VERY weird. And yet, the data we have parsed through over the years manages to be the most strange.
I’m not sure if “strange” is actually the right word. To be honest, when I first uncovered the data this article will dissect, it scared me so thoroughly that I mostly stopped commenting about the situation for some time. I genuinely feared how this could potentially unravel, and I know the average person has been conditioned to view people like me as “the problem” here, for the mere crime of buying a stock and deciding to hold it indefinitely as a dedicated, disciplined investor. gasps of collective horror
So, against my better judgement — I enter back into the foray of being a “regarded memestock cultist” or whatever the current stigma now is. Let’s look at the data.
I sourced this data from this DTCC repository (https://www.dtcc.com/repository-otc-data/emir-public-reports.aspx) which I have linked, so you can view it for yourself and verify that I am not making anything up. There is quite a bit of interesting data in here, all of it required as part of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), which mandates data reporting to all trade repositories within EU jurisdiction. In other words, this is not something the DTCC makes public out of the goodness of their hearts, nor is it some broken, experimental database — it is strictly enforced, defined under highly specific regulatory framework, with a purpose to add reliable transparency to certain market transactions.
What caught my eye though, was the equities row, single-sided non-EEA column of Table 1: A Breakdown of the aggregate open positions per derivative class. For starters, let me define what is going on in this specific field:
Equities is a very broad term that refers to all derivatives whose underlying asset is an equity — for example, a stock. Thus, “equities” could include equity swaps, options, or other derivatives that are based on an underlying value such as a company stock price.
OTC is an acronym for (Over-The-Counter). No, this is not like a prescription you pick up at CVS. In the financial world, this means that the trade was executed off of an organized exchange like the NYSE. These types of trades are often negotiated directly between two parties, allowing for special customization beyond what you might be able to access via an app like Fidelity. These trades and agreements can fly under the radar, avoiding certain public scrutiny, but their existence, and certain features, must still be eventually reported under certain guidelines to regulatory agencies.
Single-Sided means that only one counterparty has reported the transaction to DDRIE (The Dublin, Ireland DTCC Data Repository). In other words, one side of the trade is outside of DDRIE jurisdiction, such as from/to the UK or the USA.
Non-EEA denotes that one party is at least known to be outside of the European economic area.
So, what this suggests is that this field specifically records certain, private derivative transactions that were negotiated internationally between two parties (probably) in the USA/UK and the EU, respectively. The table that this data is on suggests that this is the total outstanding notional value of all summed positions in a given week, that are currently open (closed, executed, or terminated derivatives would not appear, for example).
Notional value is by itself, another very annoying term to deal with here, as it makes it difficult to ascertain the actual exposure to an underlying asset that a trade has. An options contract, for example, might have a realized value of $0 (if it expires), but a notional value of $1,000 (right to purchase 100 shares of a stock that is currently trading at $10/share). When you get into other derivatives like swaps and forwards, it becomes extremely unclear to an outsider what the monetary difference here is.
I understand if you need to re-read that segment, or come back to it repeatedly, as it is a lot of information to absorb if you are not familiar with these concepts. With that said, I will explain why this data caught my attention.
Typically, this field contains a figure close to 2 trillion (Dollars? Euros? I was unable to figure this out, but the difference is negligible, so I’ll just use $ for convenience. I was at least able to confirm that this is not simply volume). Lately, this number has been slowly climbing, but it still remains under $3 trillion as of the week ending August 15, 2025.
https://files.catbox.moe/9m8x57.webp
r/Superstonk - Another "Glitch" in the System? What deeply fascinated me though, was an astronomical difference in the data, compared to a period that occurred roughly 1 year ago.
https://files.catbox.moe/je19dl.webp
r/Superstonk - Another "Glitch" in the System? What the hell?! That is $485 QUINTILLION. That is 485 million trillions. That number is so astronomically, unfathomably large, it pretty much loses it’s practical purpose and might as well just be infinity for the sake of pretty much any type of conversation. As I said, this is notional value, which means this represents a massively inflated portion of real money that could end up in someone’s pockets, but again, this number is absurd. Even if 0.0001% of that is something that could potentially be realized, we are still talking about $485 TRILLION, which is still almost 5x larger than the entire global economy. At first, my common sense told me that this has to be a mistake. There is just no way that this is not some script error, or a fat-fingered input, or something along those easily dismissed possibilities.
So I did a bit of searching, and a bit of questioning. As I said, this is not some willy-nilly system, this is one of THE data repository required to exist publicly under European law. Surely, if something like this was actually occurring, and it was not an error, the European investigators would be all over this. I decided to simply reach out to the DDRIE, and was met with a very generic, dismissing response telling me that they would investigate the issue, but that their data is accurate in accordance with regulatory requirements, and that any such “mistakes” would be quickly caught and corrected, if they exist. That was many months ago, and the data still exists, so I tend towards assuming it is not erroneous. There goes my “cat sat on someone’s keyboard” theory.
I was going to try reaching out to actual regulators, but honestly did not know where to start, as an American citizen. I recently stumbled on an article, by someone who did know where to begin with asking similar questions about European market data.
Welp. Damn. His experience seems to explain why EU regulators are not all over this data. They do not want to investigate this type of thing if it threatens major financial figures. This response by the author summarizes the situation well, if you do not want to read about his whole experience.
https://files.catbox.moe/z95vye.webp
Part 2
So, with the DTCC itself acknowledging the accuracy of their data, and the seeming unwillingness of EU regulators to provide basic transparency to USA retail investors, I figured I’d do the one thing I can do: dive into the data.
What I discovered was not shocking. I mean, we “apes” have been noticing how many dots seem to connect back to Gamestop since 2021, so I would almost be surprised if this wasn’t somehow related to Gamestop or other “Meme stocks.” That said, I tried to go into this without seeking confirmation bias that Gamestop is some weirdly idiosyncratic risk in the global markets. Yet, my findings still slapped me hard with overwhelming confirmation of my bias.
I first looked as far back into the data as I could, to see if there was ever a situation where comparable figures had cycled through this repository. Nope. Not even the global market chaos of the covid-19 pandemic seemed to really affect the stability of the data in this specific field. There was nothing really comparable in recent events, either. The data I discovered was indeed a huge, massive outlier with no equal.
The massive spike in these figures oddly occurred the exact week that the infamous Keith Gill began posting about Gamestop on Twitter, on the heels of the stock suddenly running wild, despite years of previously dormant behavior. Nothing else particularly interesting happened on the markets that week, or even that month, short of the revived interest in Gamestop and its bizarre stock behavior. The astronomical figures recorded by the DTCC, however, would continue climbing over the following weeks to that insane peak of almost $500 quintillion, up until Gamestop’s CEO, Ryan Cohen, issued a shocking 75-million share offering into the boiling-hot situation (in hindsight, this was a wise executive decision, despite the fact that it caused very split opinions in the investor community).
I could write an entire article about that decision alone, but I will try to focus on understanding the data at hand here. What occurred after the offering was a very rapid decay of the DTCC’s absurd equity figures, until they once again stabilized at the ~$2 trillion baseline they consistently exist at. I have graphed the entire saga below, and also included some other labels of other major market events, to give you a visual idea of just how anomalous this is for the international markets. The spike of open equity positions was so extreme, that all other billion-dollar fluctuations of this data elsewhere just appears as a flat line on a linear graph, in comparison.
https://files.catbox.moe/6ldce3.webp
For comparison, this is what happened to Gamestop’s actual stock price, over that same period.
https://files.catbox.moe/i1p221.webp
And lastly, I decided to overlay both charts by the same dates to get an idea of how correlated they are. It’s worth noting I had to mathematically manipulate the DTCC data logarithmically to even visualize it correctly here, because it was just so incredibly extreme. That double top of the DTCC’s equity data even correlates with the double top of Gamestop’s stock price that month, you just can’t really see it on this graph due to how much the logarithmic function smoothed the highs of the open equities data.
https://files.catbox.moe/i1p221.webp
I scratched my head over this for quite some time. As someone who is deeply invested in this saga for years now, I am no stranger to how often bizarre market behavior “coincidentally” aligns with Gamestop’s stock behavior, but this really blows all those other examples out in proportion. Sure, we have dissected things like basket trades, swap expiry dates, arbitrage wars on other financial instruments, and found them to highly correlate to Gamestop’s stock behavior more than most other stocks, but these figures are so extremely they go from interesting, to downright worrying.
Going forward, I’m going to give my best shot at interpreting what this means for Gamestop, and for the global economy as a whole.
It is technically possible — although extremely improbable — to rationalize this astronomical EMIR data as accurate, but only under extreme conditions. Values like this could only be explained by massive derivative activity, and not of the simple kinds like options. This data would suggest that the underlying derivatives are primarily complex instruments like swaps tied to a single, highly active stock. There would, however, need to be many compounding factors:
So in short, it is possible, but would probably require a combination of:
I figured I’d ask AI if this kind of data is even theoretically possible, but even chat-GPT seemed stunned by the magnitude of the data, responding:
“Even if all the above were true, for notional values to regularly cross into the quintillions, you would need:
Oh, chat-GPT, you sweet summer child. Bernie Madoff and Theranos should have drawn regulatory action too, but we all know how wonderfully regulators function.
What I think is most troubling about all of this though, is the lack of comparable situations in market history. As I showed in the first chart, events like NVDA flash crashing $600 billion of value overnight barely registered as a blip on this derivatives radar. Trump erasing trillions in gains with global tariff panic didn’t either. So what is so damn special about some hole-in-the-wall retail stock gaining a few billion in value unexpectedly? It just doesn’t make sense, from a purely logical, outsider’s perspective. Why would that particular event cause such a seismic tsunami in the overseas derivatives markets?
I suspect, because Gamestop’s particular stock is being used disproportionally as an underlying asset in these markets, or is massively over-leveraged with derivative exposure. We know both sides of this war have only doubled down since 2021, with retail religiously buying and holding, and Wall Street refusing to capitulate while pushing back against the buying pressure.
There were other researchers who were theorizing as far back as 2021 that Gamestop could be the epicenter of a massive institutional swap position (the kind, or maybe even the same one, that rapidly toppled Archegos and Credit Suisse). This data seems to support that theory, indicating that it is highly likely certain institutions have hidden their short interest in the stock via hidden synthetic derivatives and/or massive, concentrated hedges like total return swaps that are rolled regularly to obfuscate public visibility.
It is also possible that institutions are using derivative positions in the stock to construct synthetic financial vehicles, in an effort to find loopholes to regulatory thresholds on their exposure. Regardless, Gamestop might be a “small stock” but if this is true, it is behaving in the system as a structural cornerstone, with derivative activity vastly outsized compared to the actual valuation of the underlying company.
This could have many implications for the wider economy and global market. If this kind of massive activity spikes around a mid-cap stock event, but not during massive macroeconomic situations, it suggests that the markets no longer react as a whole to economic value, but to hidden mechanics like internal leverage, hedging practices, and position maintenance. In other words, your major in economics is now useless, time to switch to engineering and study the gears of the machine instead.
Another implication is that there is massive, interconnected risk around this specific stock. A full capitulation in one direction or the other could result in an economic crisis for whoever the “losers” turn out to be. Counterparty risk is often systemic, where the failure of one “leg” can result in a cascading (and compounding) situation for parties that weren’t even involved on either side of the bet to begin with.
A third implication is that the market has structural risk points. Anomalies like this suggest that the institutions treat certain small-cap stocks like economic bottlenecks, (which harkens back to the days of apes believing that Gamestop was a “liquidity black hole,” of sorts). As an electrical and network engineer, this also makes me think of certain nodal problems, where a certain node, no particularly different than the others in the network, carries exponentially more importance than it appears to, due to the structure of the system as a whole.
However, let me remind you of what I said earlier. This derivative activity only cooled when Gamestop’s CEO issued 75 million fresh shares into the open market, acting as a pressure release valve to the boiling cauldron. What this suggests, is that these events are correlated, deeply linked with Gamestop’s corporate situation, and are persistent, systemic concerns, not a mere bizarro situation that I’m reading too far into.

But wen moon?
Wen libturds_no_stoopid [very stoopid]?
You'd have to be an Ape to understand🤣
(Of course it’s always tomorrow)
Haha yep. Tomorrow!
So is there always going to be a 75 million stock offering to cool off the rallies?
DOOOOOOOOM
Remember that time that in the very first post, Q seemed to say very clearly that Hillary was about to be arrested, then it didn’t seem to happen?
Enemy gets a turn.
Also, the white hats have their timing requirements.
Recently heard someone posit that it was WH who kicked everyone off Twitter and YouTube in order to keep things from advancing too quickly.
