With two close moves, Ark Invest by Cathie Wood secures 356,346 shares of Bullish (BLSH) for about $21.2 million and 150,908 shares of Robinhood (HOOD) for about $16.2 million, strengthening the crypto theme within the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK). An interesting aspect is the choice to concentrate the orders in a very narrow time window, with an execution that appears consistent with the group’s thematic strategy.

According to the data collected by our research desk during the day of August 20, 2025, the trade notifications of ARK clearly show the concentration of orders in a limited time window. 

Industry analysts note that similar executions, if repeated, tend to increase the visibility of the stock in the market and temporarily impact spreads and volumes. These observations derive from the direct analysis of daily disclosures and the comparison with historical data of ARK allocations.
