ARK Invest Strikes Big: $162M into Solmate’s Digital Asset Treasure Chest!

Markets

What to know:

  • Cathie Wood’s firm, ARK Invest, went all-in, buying nearly $162 million of Brera Holdings stock. Yes, *that* much!
  • The artist formerly known as Brera, now Solmate, plans to construct a digital asset fortress out of Solana’s SOL token, after raising a casual $300 million.
  • From $7.40 to $52.95, the stock soared higher than a kite-only to fall back down to $24.90. Still, a 225% gain for the day. Not bad, huh?

Oh, but wait! ARK Invest didn’t just dip its toes in-no, no! It made an entrance so grand, you’d think they were buying up the whole stock market. ARK plopped down a sweet $162 million worth of shares in Brera Holdings, which, in a bold move, rebranded itself as Solmate. Just *because* branding is everything, right?

Why the rebrand? Well, Solmate-formerly known as a sports club owner, because apparently, that’s just *not enough*-now has its eyes set on a new prize: building a Solana-based digital asset treasure chest. They’ve even raised $300 million, courtesy of the UAE’s Pulsar Group, to get their digital *bling* in the form of SOL tokens.

Of course, ARK Invest, being the trendsetter it is, didn’t just watch from the sidelines. It swooped in like an investor superhero, gobbling up a juicy 6.5 million BREA shares and plopping them into its famed exchange-traded funds: Innovation (ARKK), Next Generation Internet (ARKW), and Fintech Innovation (ARKF). A true feat of financial wizardry!

From a humble $7.40 per share, BREA shot up like a rocket-hitting $52.95 before *reality* kicked in, and it settled back down at $24.90. But hey, don’t fret! That still marks a 225% surge in a single day. That’s a *plot twist* that even a Netflix series would envy.

And let’s not forget the real star of the show: Solana’s SOL token. This little gem is flaunting its highest price levels since January, eclipsing $250 last Thursday. As of now, it’s hanging around $244. A 20% increase this month. It’s a true “rise and shine” moment in the crypto world. 🌟
