A gamut of Ark Investment Management LLC’s funds including flagship Ark Innovation ETF bought nearly 75,000 shares of the EV maker and about 297,000 of the cryptocurrency exchange operator on Wednesday, continuing a dip-buying streak that started in October, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Ark’s purchases in Coinbase have continued even as the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX crypto empire has induced unprecedented volatility in the market, pushing the US company’s shares to a record low on Tuesday before they bounced a bit on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Tesla shares are at their lowest in more than two years amid concerns over a potential recession, a hawkish Federal Reserve, and founder Elon Musk’s moves to reduce his stake in the EV maker.
