ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKG) bought 698,931 shares, while ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK | ARKK Price Prediction) bought 1,426,097 shares. At Thursday’s closing price, this would have valued the sales at roughly $14.7 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 46% and the other is down 38% in the past year.
