ARK Invest added 41,032 shares of Coinbase (COIN) to its Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), capitalizing on the stock’s 6.5% decline to $212.49. This purchase represents the firm’s most significant investment in Coinbase since August 5, when it acquired 93,800 shares for $17.8 million.

The move coincided with a broader cryptocurrency market correction that saw bitcoin retreat below $87,000, marking a three-month low. The market turbulence triggered unprecedented outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, with SoSoValue data showing nearly $940 million in net withdrawals—the highest single-day exodus since their historic January 2024 launch.

In a parallel move, ARK divested 98,060 shares of its spot bitcoin ETF (ARKB), worth approximately $8.6 million, suggesting a tactical shift from direct bitcoin exposure to crypto-adjacent equity positions.

This trading pattern aligns with ARK’s historical approach of increasing positions in crypto-related companies during market downturns, viewing price dips as strategic entry points for long-term investment opportunities.
