ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKG) bought 485,075 shares, while ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK | ARKK Price Prediction) bought 995,250 shares. At Wednesday’s closing price, this would have valued the sales at roughly $16.9 million altogether. Even though this is a small fraction of their total holdings, every little bit counts. The Genomic Revolution ETF is down more than 26% and the other is down 11% in the past year.
