COIN -1.5% | $BTC ETF Rebalanced | July 16, 2025

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest is locking in gains. The firm sold $13.3 million in Coinbase shares and $8.7 million of its own Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) on Tuesday following record highs for both assets.

🔍 Key Details:

34,207 COIN shares sold from Ark’s ARKW fund

→ Valued at $13.3M

→ Coinbase had just closed at an all-time high of $394.01 on Monday

→ Tuesday’s price dropped 1.5% to $388.02

225,742 ARKB shares sold

→ Worth $8.7M

→ From the Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW)

🧠 Why the Sell-Off?

Ark’s strategy prevents any one asset exceeding 10% of a fund, meaning high-flying holdings get trimmed to maintain diversification.

COIN is now ARKW’s #2 holding at 7.9%

Robinhood (HOOD) remains #1 at 8%

Ark is known for methodically rebalancing when volatility or growth skews portfolio weightings — and both Coinbase and Bitcoin have surged in 2025 🚀.
