The latest disclosures from Ark Invest’s website reveal that Coinbase is the second-largest holding in the ARKK fund, accounting for 5.58% of its total holdings.

The purchase comes just two weeks after the investment company purchased $10.2 million worth of Bullish shares. The company also added 1,951 Robinhood shares on Tuesday for $245,000 through its Ark Next Generation Internet ETF.
