What else is known? Specifically, on December 13, ARK sold 239 237 securities from the Innovation ETF fund and another 43 867 from the Next Generation Internet ETF as part of portfolio rebalancing.

In addition, the company also continues to sell shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust Investment Company (GBTC), the discount on which relative to the underlying asset continues to decline. GBTC price growth is because traders expect the trust to be converted into a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) soon.

Over the day, ARK sold 45 864 GBTC shares for $1,6 million, at which time the discount on the securities fell to 7,4%, the lowest level since July 2021.
