Ark Invest Sells Coinbase, Nvidia, And Robinhood Shares
Ark Invest, one of the leading investment funds in the field of disruptive innovation, recently carried out a sell-off of shares related to technology and crypto. According to data from CoinGape, Ark Invest led by Cathie Wood has released a total of 72,242 Coinbase shares worth more than 12 million US dollars (Rp187.9 billion) in a week.
For additional information, Coinbase is the largest crypto exchange platform in the US, which reports revenues in the fourth quarter of 2023 that exceed market expectations. However, Ark Invest appears to be taking advantage of Coinbase's share price hike, which hit a two-year high at $190 on February 22, to realize profits.
Ark Invest sold 2,828 Coinbase shares through ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), one of its largest funds. Previously, on February 21, Ark Invest also sold 31,747 Coinbase shares through ARKK and 8,936 shares through Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF). On February 20, Ark Invest released 19,732 Coinbase shares through ARKKK, 4,970 shares via ARKF, and 4,029 shares via the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW).
