On Tuesday, Ark also sold 121,100 shares of Robinhood, the retail-investor-centric trading platform, through its Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF).

The transaction was valued at $1.6 million as Robinhood shares registered an uptick, closing 10.4% higher at $13.17 for the day. This surge was notably linked to positive market momentum as Bitcoin continued to trade above $42,500.

As reported earlier, Ark sold 809, 441 Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares worth $27.6 million from its Next Generation Internet (ARKW) exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Monday, the biggest sale in more than a year.
