Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest Sells Coinbase, Buy Tesla

On Jan 3, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest sold a total of 166,183 Coinbase shares worth over $25.3 million, as per trades seen by CoinGape.

ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) sold 145,048 Coinbase shares and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) offloaded 21,135 COIN shares.

Coinbase (COIN) price closed 2.96% lower at $152.24 on Wednesday. However, it gained momentum on Thursday and is trading at $158.42 at press time. But the stock remains far from its recent high of $187.39.

On Jan 2, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest sold a total of 3,360 Coinbase shares worth over $580K and 23,606 Robinhood shares worth nearly $300K.

CoinGape reported last week that Cathie Wood seems to be bearish on Bitcoin and crypto shares as the SEC is likely to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs as of January 10, considering it as a ‘sell the news’ event. Moreover, Ark Invest funds will look to continue to offload COIN shares worth millions this month as part of its active fund management strategy, extending its selloff run of the last year.

TSLA price closed at $238.45 on Wednesday, down 4.01%. At press time on Thursday, the stock is trading 0.89% higher  at $240.
