Abaxx: Not Even Worth A Crumb

“Priming the pump of new products with market makers and ultimately BS churn that doesn’t have a lot of physical underlying” – Josh Crumb

PLEASE READ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

June 11, 2026 – Viceroy Research is short Abaxx Technologies (TSX:ABXX). While Abaxx claims it’s running a “next generation” “physical-delivery” marketplace, the truth is it’s fixing a problem that does not exist. Abaxx’s exchange must fabricate activity while CEO Josh Crumb has pivoted his business model yet again, this time into a vibe-coded, generic tech stack with no clear way of making a profit.

Crumb’s disorienting business decisions are primarily announced in a flurry of slop posts on X (formerly Twitter), where he switches between typo-ridden gold rants and complaining about short sellers, despite stocks reaching all-time highs.

The primary enthusiasm for the stock stems from the purported success of the Abaxx Exchange. The Exchange activity is almost entirely comprised of uneconomic churn sustained by management incentives, which collapses the moment those incentives are switched off. There is no genuine hedging activity or price discovery supporting this façade.

Abaxx’s management have just two talents: shameless self-promotion and slop-posting on Twitter. This deadly combination makes Abaxx a perfect short, boasting endless examples of governance failures, “strategic pivots”, lies and fraud.
