A couple of the ARK Invest exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood made huge purchases on Wednesday. These funds bought over 600,000 shares of DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ: DKNG | DKNG Price Prediction), as the price of these ETFs gained more than 1% on Wednesday. Note that these funds are still up handily in the past year.

ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK) bought 486,875 shares of DraftKings, while ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) bought 117,163 shares. At Wednesday’s closing prices, this would have valued these purchases at roughly $29.5 million altogether. Even though this is a small fraction of the total holdings, every little bit counts. ARKK is up 51% in the past year and ARKW is up 51%.
