Cathie Wood Buys The Circle Dip: Ark Snaps Up $16 Million Worth Of CRCL Stock Amid Senate Stablecoin Pressure

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades, including buying shares of Circle Internet Group Inc (NYSE:CRCL) and selling shares of Bullish (NYSE:BLSH) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:TSM). These trades reflect Ark’s strategic adjustments amid evolving market conditions. The Circle Trade Ark Invest made substantial purchases of Circle shares across its ARK Blockchain & Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKF), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKK), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:ARKW). The total acquisition amounted to 161,513 shares, valued at approximately $16.3 million based on the closing price of $101.17. Circle’s shares have been under pressure on Tuesday. This decline is attributed to regulatory challenges, as a Senate draft targets stablecoin yields, impacting Circle’s business model. Additionally, Circle’s efforts to influence the EU’s digital asset framework have not prevented a dip in its stock, as reported in recent news. Notably, Circle is the issuer of the USDC (CRYPTO: USDC) stablecoin. The Bullish Trade Ark Invest reduced its stake in Bullish by selling a total of 40,064 shares across its ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW ETFs, valued at approximately $1.5 million based on the closing price of $37.37. Notably, this was the second day in a row when Ark sold the stock of the Peter Thiel-backed cryptocurrency platform. On Monday, ARKK and ARKW sold shares worth nearly $1.57 million. The TSMC Trade Ark Invest also sold 3,148 shares of TSMC from its ARKW ETF, valued at approximately $1.1 million based on the closing price of $343.25. The decision comes amid concerns about TSM’s production capacity limits due to surging AI demand. Constraints are expected to impact supply through 2026, despite planned capacity expansions.
