ARK Buys $2.5 Million in Coinbase Shares as COIN Continues Rally
ARK has purchased $7.5 million in Coinbase shares this week, or approximately $28.25 million during the last month.
Cathie Wood's crypto conviction continues as ARK made another Coinbase (COIN) buy Thursday.

COIN closed at $47.55, up 8.6% on-day Thursday, or 23% during the past month. Analysts are predicting a mean price target of $61.46, according to data compiled by FactSet.
Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish said in a recent note that "next year is likely to remain challenging" for Coinbase, but "rising rates are set to be a material tailwind.”
Recently, Coinbase announced a big expansion of its European operations as a pillar of growth for 2023.
CORRECTION (Jan. 13, 2023, UTC 08:40): Corrects to say that Coinbase shares closed on Thursday at $47.55, not that they are currently trading. The U.S. markets were closed at time of publication.
