In the A-share market, "White-haired Stock God" Serenity has become a sensation.
From June 5th to June 9th, Serenity shill three A-shares on the X platform: Green Harmonic, a stock related to the concept of embodied intelligent robots; Easun, a stock related to the concept of digital intelligent new energy; and Zhongji Xuchuang, a leading stock in optical modules. The stock prices of the first two were driven up to the 20cm daily limit on the same day, and Green Harmonic's increase in June exceeded 30%.
Serenity's strong ability to "lead trades" stems from his high profile in international retail investor communities before he came into the view of domestic A-share investors.
Serenity's investment strategy is characterized by using the "Chokepoint" investment method to identify undervalued, small, monopolistic companies within the AI industry chain. With over 16 stocks shill achieving returns exceeding 100% this year, and his personal year-to-date return exceeding 3612%, coupled with his background as a former AI research scientist and his rigorous analysis of the AI industry and promising companies, Serenity has amassed a large following of loyal retail investors in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea. His X account boasts more subscribers than Elon Musk, ranking first on the platform, thus giving him a greater influence on stock price fluctuations than typical stock analysts.
For example, on May 27th, Serenity announced on the X platform that it had completed its initial position in XFAB, a European stock with a market capitalization of $1.28 billion. XFAB's share price subsequently surged, with a single-day intraday increase of up to 77%, reaching a high of €13.13. Afterwards, XFAB's share price began to decline and is currently trading at approximately €8.8, returning to the level before Serenity's shill.
The day after the XFAB stock price fluctuated dramatically, Serenity posted in Chinese on the X platform, saying, "Seeing so much support from the Chinese community... I might start writing my thoughts on two Chinese stocks just for fun."
A bloodbath sweeping through the A-share market has begun.
Disrupting the A-share market without holding any positions, just for fun?
In hindsight, the two stocks Serenity mentioned were Green Harmonic and Easuntech.
On June 5, Serenity posted in Chinese, specifically emphasizing that it was "written for my Chinese readers." The post stated that LeaderDrive (688017, RMB 57.73 billion) is its most favored Chinese listed company when it is developing its humanoid robot business. The main reason is that LeaderDrive holds an absolute dominant position in the supply chain of certain robot components, with a domestic market share of over 60% and more than 1,800 global customers.
The post has been viewed over 4 million times and has been further disseminated to multiple domestic social media platforms. Green Harmonic's stock price triggered a 20% daily limit up on June 5th, and by June 10th, in just four trading days, the stock price had risen by over 30%.
On June 8th, the same market scenario played out again. Serenity released a crowdsourced list of over 30 companies on its X platform related to the "800V DC power" concept, including the A-share listed company Easun. The news quickly spread in China, with Easun's stock price surging 20% within an hour, reaching its daily limit. By June 10th, the increase had exceeded 30%.
Serenity herself was surprised, posting a comment expressing her disbelief: "Everyone knows this is just a crowdsourced list, right? How come 300376 (Easun) rose by 20%?"
He then posted another message saying, "These are all stocks recommended by fans, not my personal recommendations," attempting to distance himself from the issue.
Besides these two stocks, Serenity also mentioned a third A-share listed company, Innolight, on June 9th, stating that it was the only Chinese listed company he invested in last year. However, due to some AI mistranslating "Innolight" as another A-share listed company, Innolas Laser, Innolas Laser's stock price surged by nearly 10% within 10 minutes. This "blunder" also reveals the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) of retail investors towards Serenity himself, who are "blind to the fact that they only care about what to buy, afraid of missing out on any gains."
Serenity's actions quickly attracted the attention of domestic financial media and securities analysts, who speculated about his motives for "cross-border stock promotion." On June 9, Cailian Press published a lengthy article reminding domestic investors to be wary of the influx of overseas information. If Serenity's sharing involved profit sharing, then his behavior was a classic case of "export-to-domestic cross-border stock promotion," which would incur legal liability. Some domestic securities analysts even publicly criticized him on social media, saying, "These bastards are doomed sooner or later. They think they can do whatever they want just because they're abroad."
In response to domestic media's accusations of "harvesting韭菜 (retail investors)", Serenity stated that shill for A-shares were simply because he believed "foreigners would bring a different perspective to A-shares", and added that "although I like the green harmonics, I do not hold any of its stocks". Perhaps, as he said at the beginning, the initial intention of doing all this was just for fun.
Serenity appears to be a "philanthropist." He emphasizes that he does not do any paid promotion or marketing. The only paid service is a $1 monthly subscription. He is not a member of any organization or the Illuminati. His reason for continuing to share for free is that he believes the stock market is a positive-sum game. He hopes that retail investors can buy quality stocks without joining any expensive paid communities or even before institutions enter the market. He claims that he is promoting the democratization of information.
In the investment world, don't over-glorify anyone. Serenity may not be after profit, but he's definitely after fame. Since starting to shill A-shares on June 5th, Serenity's follower count has surged by over 200,000. As of June 11th, his X platform had over 810,000 followers, and his account subscriptions had grown to 54,000, surpassing Elon Musk (46,000). With such a massive subscriber base, even at a price of $1, Serenity's monthly fixed income would reach $54,000, easily earning him millions of RMB annually.
Serenity's pinned posts are all celebrating surpassing Musk's subscriber count, stating that this is his goal. The fact that an anonymous account can garner such influence and attention has fueled investor curiosity about its true identity: is it an individual, a team, or even just an AI behind this account?
Is it highly likely that this person is a Chinese person living in Japan?
Serenity explained that he remained anonymous so that he could freely express his thoughts online. He stated that when he first posted negative opinions about IREN (a Nasdaq-listed stock), he received threats and harassment from dozens of accounts in real life, which is why he continued to remain anonymous.
Nevertheless, the community gradually pieced together the image of Serenity from the various fragmented information they collected, and he was very likely a Chinese person living in Japan .
Serenity revealed some of his personal information at the end of May. He said he is quite international, currently studying Japanese in Japan, and knows a little Chinese because he lived in mainland China for a period of time and often travels to Taiwan. He also played football in Mexico for two or three years and went to South Korea specifically to play League of Legends... His life is quite comfortable.
Serenity lived in Japan for at least six months. By the end of 2025, he frequently posted photos of his life in Japan on the X platform, but he rarely mentioned his personal life after becoming famous.
Serenity in Japan
Serenity is a frequent poster, averaging 9-10 posts per day, with peak periods reaching over 20. Based on AI analysis of their daily posting frequency, their account has approximately 5 hours of absolute inactivity each day. This inactivity period is most likely Serenity's rest and sleep time, which corresponds to 3:00 AM to 8:00 AM in some Asian time zones (UTC+8, UTC+9). Combined with the information mentioned earlier, we can basically pinpoint Serenity's location to Japan.
The community tends to believe that Serenity is Chinese, but Serenity emphasizes that English is his native language. Most of his posts are still in English, and his occasional use of Chinese seems to be only to cater to his Chinese fans. Furthermore, if the number of posts in different languages is counted, his Japanese posts are more numerous than his Chinese posts.
Considering Serenity's early experience—before joining X, he was active on Reddit WSB (Note: Wall Street Bets is the largest retail trading community in the United States) , rejected an offer from Nvidia's AI team in 2018, and was reported by well-known overseas media such as Bloomberg and Reuters—it is highly likely that Serenity is Chinese.
Serenity's anonymity, lack of transparency in investment returns, and excessive desire for influence have all increased the controversy surrounding him in the market. Interestingly, however, all those who question him are also constantly refreshing his homepage.
Stock investing has always been a phenomenon where each era has its own iconic figures, from Buffett and "The Cathie Wood" to Roaring Kitty. Bull markets amplify returns and also amplify belief. As more and more people start making money, we always want to find someone who can "scientifically explain the bubble." Serenity may simply be an outward projection of this round of AI-driven bull market sentiment—mysterious, professional, and successful—fitting the public's complete imagination of a "stock market guru."
But next to the altar lies the guillotine, because when the market reverses, it will want to find someone to hold accountable for the losses, and Serenity might be the most suitable candidate then. History repeats itself, the market always moves forward, people love to create gods, and they are also good at destroying them. As for who Serenity actually is, it's probably not as important as it is now.
