ARK Invest Boosts Crypto Exposure With Block, Securitize, And Solana ETF Buys

ARKW and ARKF purchased a combined 7,115 shares of the 3iQ Solana Staking ETF, consistent with ARK’s recent buying trend of the fund and higher exposure to Solana and staking rewards.

• ARK Invest boosted its crypto exposure on Monday, buying nearly 192,000 shares of Block across two funds.
• ARKF bought 189,796 shares of tokenization platform Securitize, which powers BlackRock’s BUIDL fund.
• The buys are part of broader portfolio moves by ARK, though the firm did not disclose the reasons behind individual trades.

Cathie Wood's ARK Invest expanded its crypto and blockchain holdings on Monday, buying Block (XYZ), Securitize (SECZ), and the 3iQ Solana Staking ETF (SOLQ.U) across its actively managed funds even as it trimmed several technology names.
