What to know:

  • In a twist worthy of a Dostoevsky novel, ARK Invest, in a fit of financial fervor, snatched up a staggering $8.7 million of Coinbase shares on Tuesday, as the cryptocurrency market took a nosedive that would make even the most stoic of investors weep.
  • With the grace of a ballet dancer, ARK added 41,032 COIN shares to its Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), just as the crypto exchange’s stock plummeted nearly 6.5% to a mere $212.49. Ah, the sweet scent of opportunity amidst chaos!
  • Meanwhile, in a move that could only be described as a financial game of musical chairs, ARK sold 98,060 shares of its own spot bitcoin ETF (ARKB), worth around $8.6 million. One man’s loss is another man’s gain, or so they say!

As the crypto exchange’s stock took a tumble, ARK, with the enthusiasm of a child in a candy store, added 41,032 COIN shares to its Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), while the stock fell nearly 6.5% to a paltry $212.49. Truly, a spectacle to behold!

In the meantime, ARK decided to part ways with 98,060 shares of its own spot bitcoin ETF (ARKB), worth around $8.6 million. A classic case of “out with the old, in with the new,” if you will!
