ARK’s last purchase of COIN was in mid-January, when it bought $3.3 million worth of shares of the exchange.

    • The $9.2 million buy comes as U.S. regulators increased their scrutiny of the digital assets industry. While the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) didn’t go after Coinbase’s staking product, as it did with Kraken, questions remain if it might come after it in a second enforcement blitz.

    A Wall Street Journal report from early Monday said that Paxos is the latest target of the SEC’s enforcement campaign over its Binance USD (BUSD) token.

    ARK’s Innovation ETF (ARKK) is up 28% year to date, while the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF) is up 25% so far this year.
