Ark Invest Buys $21.3 Million of Robinhood as Position Nears 19% in ARKK and ARKW

The move underscores a pivot toward crypto‑exposed equities, reflecting Robinhood’s expanded licensing, on‑chain buildout and institutional reach.

Overview

  • Ark’s Oct. 22 trade disclosure shows $21.3 million in Robinhood purchases across ARKK and ARKW, with 131,049 and 36,440 shares added respectively.
  • Following the buys, Robinhood accounts for nearly 19% of the combined holdings of the two ETFs.
  • On the same day, Ark also increased stakes in Netflix and Arcturus Therapeutics, with no other purchases reported.
