Cathie Wood’s investment fund ARK Invest offloaded around $1.8 million of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and $1.7 million shares of Coinbase (COIN) for the second straight day.

According to a disclosure, ARK Next Generation Internet ETF moved to sell 21,062 shares of COIN and 72,509 units of GBTC as the market closed on Tuesday.

Bitcoin (BTC) is closing in on a 16-month high, with options data suggesting that the bull market still has considerable momentum.

Sentiment suggests that bitcoin’s rise is driven by the anticipation of a potential spot ETF approval. ARK Invest is capitalizing on the bullish sentiment by selling GBTC shares and adjusting its portfolio with Coinbase and Robinhood stocks. ARK loaded up on COIN and GBTC in the depths of 2022’s crypto winter

The firm sold about $3.3 million worth of crypto exchange Coinbase shares on Monday alongside 100,739 shares of GBTC.
