Cathie Wood's ARK Invest boosted its stake in crypto stocks despite faltering confidence in the cryptocurrency industry. ARK Invest purchased shares of crypto exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq:COIN), USDC stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL), and crypto exchange Bullish (NYSE:BLSH) in its latest trades disclosed late last week.
The ARK Innovation ETF and the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF collectively purchased 38,854 shares of Coinbase, valued at over $9 million (£6.5 million). ARK Invest also bought 129,446 shares of Circle Internet Group across the two ETFs for $9.2 million (£6.7 million), as well as 88,533 shares of Bullish. Wood's trades came as these stocks fell in recent trading, extending recent weakness in the sector.
