🚀 Stay Ahead with AltcoinDaily.co! 🌐

In a strategic play, Ark Invest, the investment management firm led by Cathie Wood, acquired nearly $2.2 million worth of Coinbase (COIN) stock on Tuesday. This comes after the investment firm offloaded Coinbase’s shares worth $2.7 million in August. Also, the firm dumped a massive $15.1 million worth of the exchange shares in May.

This action marks its first purchase of the crypto exchange’s shares since September. This latest buy added 12,994 COIN shares to ARK’s Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF).

A Calculated Coinbase Bet Amidst Crypto Market Activity

ARK’s decision to boost its Coinbase holdings reflects its confidence in the exchange. Upon ARK’s purchase, COIN surged by 6.5%, hinting optimism for a market uptick. This is possibly tied to Bitcoin’s historical price surges in October. Nevertheless, COIN has generally remained at a 20% lower level since late August.

Regulatory Strategy: ARK Invest Offloads Robinhood Shares

In a parallel move, ARK sold 135,665 shares of Robinhood (HOOD), valued at nearly $3.5 million. The sale was necessary to comply with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.

The agency imposed limits on funds’ exposure to companies deriving over 15% of their income from securities trading. HOOD shares surged nearly 10% on Tuesday despite the sale, closing at $25.61. This uptick indicates strong market performance for the trading platform.
