ARK Invest Buys Coinbase and Robinhood Shares Amid Market Pullback

• ARK purchased 22,452 Coinbase shares and 158,587 Robinhood shares, investing roughly $16 million combined.
• The company bought shares through its ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF ETFs, even as both stocks faced declines.

ARK Invest firm increased its exposure to crypto-linked equities by purchasing more shares of Coinbase and Robinhood, as this comes as crypto-related stocks face further selling pressure, reflecting ongoing market volatility and macroeconomic concerns.

According to ARK Invest Tracker reports, it has purchased 22,452 shares of Coinbase through ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), and ARK Blockchain & Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF), on March 3, as this acquisition was totaled to be worth $4.09 million based on the closing price of $182.36 that day.

In addition, ARK Invest on the same day,  purchased 158,587 Robinhood shares across the same three ETFs, with an investment of about $12.06 million based on the closing price of $76.07 per share. The purchases were made in the midst ongoing decline of both stocks, as broader equity markets were burdened by growing  U.S.-Iran tensions.

According to data from Google Finance, Robinhood’s stock fell 3.44% during the session on March 3, while Coinbase’s closed 1.55% lower. Meanwhile,  ARK Invest’s further acquisitions, in spite of the recent decline, show its persistent long-term belief in the crypto market and associated trading platforms.
