ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, added another $18 million worth of crypto-related equities to its portfolio on Thursday, reinforcing its continued exposure to the digital asset sector.
The move signals sustained institutional confidence in crypto infrastructure and trading businesses despite ongoing market volatility.
Breakdown of the Purchases
According to disclosure filings:
Around $2 million was invested in a publicly listed digital asset exchange operator, marking the firm’s 10th consecutive day of buying shares in the company.
Approximately $12 million was allocated to a U.S.-based retail trading platform known for crypto access.
Nearly $4 million went into an ether-focused treasury and digital asset infrastructure firm.

The purchases come during a mixed period for crypto markets:
Bitcoin and Ethereum have faced recent volatility amid macro uncertainty.
Technology stocks in the U.S. have also experienced pressure.
Crypto-linked equities have shown sharp swings in response to both market sentiment and broader risk appetite.
Despite these conditions, ARK continued accumulating exposure.
