- Cathie Wood's ARK funds increased crypto exposure to $2.15B, with Coinbase (5.8%) and Robinhood (4.69%) as top holdings. - ARKF/ARKW/ARKK now allocate 29-17.7% to crypto, shifting from traditional tech stocks like Palantir and Shopify. - Investments expanded to Circle, ether/solana staking, and Tether stablecoins amid rising institutional crypto interest. - Crypto assets outperformed traditional tech holdings recently, though analysts warn sector volatility persists despite regulatory risks.

Cathie Wood's

ARK Innovation

ETF (ARKK) has disclosed that

Coinbase Global

Inc. and

Robinhood Markets

Inc. now make up 5.8% and 4.69% of its portfolio, respectively, based on the latest filings. This update comes as

ARK

Invest's total exposure to cryptocurrencies across three of its main funds has climbed above $2.15 billion, signaling a deliberate move toward blockchain-related assets as digital asset markets recover, according to a

CoinDesk report

The company’s three flagship funds—ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), and ARK Frontier Tech ETF (ARKF)—have all boosted their investments in crypto-focused assets.

ARKF

leads the way, with 29% of its assets linked to crypto, followed by ARKW at 25.7% and ARKK at 17.7%. This increase highlights ARK’s transition away from conventional tech equities, as the firm has reduced its stakes in companies such as Palantir Technologies Inc. and Shopify Inc., reallocating capital into crypto infrastructure, CoinDesk reported.

A large share of this exposure is centered on

Coinbase

and

Robinhood

, two leading platforms for cryptocurrency trading. Coinbase alone represents more than $675 million across the three funds, with Robinhood also holding a notable position. Furthermore, ARK has increased its investments in stablecoin provider Circle Internet Financial Ltd. and in ether and

solana

staking products via ETFs like ETHQ/U and SOLQ/U. These actions reflect Wood’s ongoing confidence in the future of blockchain and growing institutional participation in crypto derivatives, as reported by CoinDesk.

This strategic pivot mirrors a wider movement in asset management, where crypto assets are becoming an essential part of growth-oriented portfolios. ARK’s filings also mention exposure to

Tether

Ltd.’s stablecoins, which the firm has been tracking closely since the issuer announced $10 billion in net profits for the first three quarters of 2025 and launched a share repurchase initiative, CoinDesk noted.

Even with ongoing regulatory challenges, ARK’s approach seems to be yielding positive results. The company’s crypto-related investments have outperformed its traditional tech holdings in recent months, supporting Wood’s belief that blockchain will be a key driver of future innovation. Still, analysts warn that the sector remains highly volatile, with some of the recent gains driven by broader economic trends rather than significant progress in crypto adoption, according to CoinDesk.
