ARK Invest Holds $2.4B Stock With Crypto Exposure

ARK Invest's actively-managed ETFs had more than $11 billion in assets under management this week, and the firm's bitcoin bullishness has extended to other cryptocurrency sectors. Blockworks analyzed ARK's entire ETF portfolio over the past two years to determine how bullish Wood's firm has been on Coinbase over the long haul, as well as additional equities with crypto exposures. The analysis shows that Coinbase was the firm's second-most favored stock across that period, slightly ahead of Zoom and DraftKings. ARK also holds other stocks impacted by the ebbs and flows of crypto markets, including Robinhood, Block, Nvidia, Tesla, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, and failed crypto bank Silvergate. Overall, weight for ARK's crypto-exposed stocks has jumped 55 percentage points over the past two years, from under 14% to 21%.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
