Hey Annie!
Did you hear about ARK Invest's latest move?
They sold a whopping $14.8 million worth of Coinbase (COIN) shares last Thursday!๐ฒ
Wow, that's a lot!
What prompted them to sell so much?๐ค
Great question!
They sold the shares just before Coinbase released its second-quarter earnings report.
It seems like a strategic move, right?๐
Definitely strategic!
How much had they sold in the previous months?๐
In June, they sold $2.88 million worth of shares, and in July, $7.93 million.
But what they sold last Thursday exceeded both months combined!๐ฎ
That's a huge jump!
Which ETFs were these shares part of?๐
The shares were part of two ETFs: the Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) and the Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF).
They have strict rules to prevent any single asset from becoming too concentrated.๐
Interesting!
So, how much of COIN do these ETFs hold now?๐ค
COIN makes up 9.69% of ARKF and 6.74% of ARKW.
It's still a significant part of their funds.๐ผ
Got it!
How did Coinbase perform in their Q2 report?๐
Coinbase reported $1.4 billion in revenue, which is double from the same quarter last year and up 17% from Q1 2024.
However, their profits were less than expected.๐ฐ
That's impressive revenue growth!
Did ARK Invest make any new investments after selling COIN?๐ง
Yes, they did!
They invested $21 million into the Canadian 3iQ ETH staking ETF (ETHQ.U), buying 1.7 million shares.
This ETF allows investors to profit from ETH's price movements while earning passive income from staking.๐
Wow, that sounds like a smart move!
How were the shares allocated?๐งฎ
One million shares went to the ARKW fund, and the remaining shares were allocated to ARKF.
The ETF has seen significant growth, rising about 40% year-to-date!๐
That's impressive growth!
So, do you think this news is good or bad for the market?๐๐
I'd say it's a positive move!
ARK Invest is diversifying their portfolio and investing in a growing asset.
This could indicate confidence in the market's future, especially in the crypto space.๐
To sum up, this article is considered a ๐Bullish for investors!!
