As the cryptocurrency markets experience a revival, major players like Coinbase are hitting record highs. In this dynamic landscape, ARK Invest, a prominent asset manager, has made noteworthy decisions that diverge from the market trend.
Coinbase (COIN.US), the leading U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, has witnessed a surge in its stock price, reaching yearly highs. This upswing is attributed to a resurgent crypto market and the legal challenges faced by its rival, Binance, in the United States.
However, despite Coinbase’s meteoric rise, ARK Invest has chosen to capitalize on the opportunity. On December 5th, ARK sold 237,572 shares of Coinbase stock, securing a substantial profit of at least $33 million. Notably, this isn’t the first instance of ARK actively trading Coinbase stock in 2023, demonstrating a strategic approach to navigate the market fluctuations.

Even with the recent sale, ARK Invest maintains a significant stake in Coinbase. The exchange still represents the top asset for three different ARK funds, constituting over 11% of net assets in each.
Additionally, ARK serves as the custodian or surveillance partner for issuers of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs awaiting regulatory approval, showcasing enduring confidence in Coinbase.
ARK Invest’s strategic moves extend beyond Coinbase. The firm has been acquiring shares of Robinhood (HOOD.US), a trading platform with crypto capabilities, and SoFi Technologies (SOFI.US), a fintech firm that recently terminated its crypto trading services. These actions underscore ARK’s commitment to diversifying its exposure across the still-volatile digital asset sector.
