Coinbase also revealed an AI-powered advisor and a unified liquidity system connecting its U.S. and international spot crypto and derivatives markets.<\/p>\n<p>Following those announcements, Benchmark Equity Research reiterated its Buy rating on Coinbase. The research firm said the latest product rollout showed the company is building beyond its traditional crypto trading business and strengthening its position in financial and onchain infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The Coinbase investment comes a few weeks after Ark added another crypto-focused exchange operator to its funds amid stock weakness.<\/p>\n<p>In May, Ark <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/ark-invest-bets-on-crypto-exchange-bullish-after-selloff\/\" target=\"_blank\">purchased<\/a> about $4.4 million worth of Bullish shares across multiple ETFs after the exchange\u2019s stock declined for five consecutive trading sessions. Market disclosures at the time showed Ark acquired more than 122,000 Bullish shares over two days as the stock recovered modestly from a sharp monthly decline.<\/p>\n<p>Bullish had reported mixed first-quarter results before those purchases. The company posted a net loss of $604.9 million, compared with a $348.6 million loss a year earlier, while adjusted revenue increased to $92.8 million from $62.4 million. Quarterly digital asset sales reached $51.8 billion, and options trading volume totaled $11.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Bullish CEO Tom Farley linked the company\u2019s long-term plans to its proposed $4.2 billion acquisition of Equiniti, stating that the combination would provide the pieces needed to build infrastructure for tokenized securities at institutional scale.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Robinhood gains as prediction markets draw attention<\/h2>\n<p>While Ark reduced its Robinhood position, recent developments have continued to support interest in the brokerage platform.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Robinhood announced a 10% <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/robinhood-announces-layoffs-affecting-290-employees-amid-restructuring-push\/\" target=\"_blank\">reduction<\/a> in its full-time workforce as the company moves toward what it described as a leaner and more performance-focused operating model.<\/p>\n<p>Separate <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/world-cup-betting-frenzy-could-lift-robinhood-prediction-market-revenue-bernstein\/\" target=\"_blank\">commentary<\/a> from Bernstein analysts on Monday highlighted prediction markets as a potential growth driver for Robinhood. Bernstein highlighted Robinhood\u2019s daily prediction market turnover, which had climbed from $2.2 billion on June 11 to $4.8 billion on June 12 on the back of World Cup-related activity, creating what the firm described as strong tailwinds for the platform.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/ark-invest-buys-18-4m-in-coinbase-shares-trims-robinhood\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cathie Wood\u2019s Ark Invest has purchased $18.4 million worth of Coinbase shares across three ETFs, even as the crypto exchange\u2019s stock has fallen nearly 13% over the past month.
