In the shadow of the market’s despair, Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest dances with the devil, buying up crypto like a beggar clutching a coin. ๐ญ๐ธ
With fresh bets on Bullish and Robinhood, the investment firm is signaling strong confidence in digital asset-related stocks even as the sector faces sharp declines. ๐ฉ๏ธ๐
ARK Invest’s Gambit: A Dance with Bullish
On the 19th of August, Ark poured $21.2 million into Bullish, a move as bold as a thief in a cathedral. ๐๐ฐ This follows an earlier purchase of over 2.5 million shares, worth over $170 million across three Ark ETFs when Bullish first went public. ๐งพ๐ธ
The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) now owns about 1.17 million shares, worth around $74 million. Bullish went public recently, raising $1.1 billion. ๐ฆ๐ฅ
Cathie Wood and Ark Invest bought 150,908 more shares of Robinhood $HOOD today

Robinhood Remains a Strong Bet
Ark Invest also boosted its stake in Robinhood (HOOD), buying 150,908 shares for about $16.2 million. Notably, its Tuesday purchase was the third day in a row the firm added to its position, after $14 million in buys on Monday and $9 million on Friday. ๐ค๐
Robinhood has long been a part of ARKโs portfolio. However, in 2024 the firm reduced part of its holdings to comply with SEC rules that cap how much an ETF can own in broker or adviser-related stocks. ๐งด๐
ARKK Sees Record Inflows
ARKK ETF recently recorded its largest weekly inflow ever, with investors adding nearly $2.7 billion to the fund. Last month, Ark Invest announced plans for four new ETFs to limit losses in its ARK Innovation fund. Each fund runs quarterly and aims to protect against a 50% drop, while passing on gains above 5%. ๐๐
Cathie Wood took in record inflows of $3.7bn last week, including $2.8bn into $ARKK. โRecord breaking single day haulsโ since 2021, โBurning hotโ.
