Bitcoin Recovers After Ark Invest’s $100 Million Sale

As a seasoned researcher with a keen interest in both traditional finance and cryptocurrencies, I’ve witnessed firsthand the rollercoaster ride that is the financial market. The recent sell-off of $100 million worth of Bitcoin by Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, has sparked a flurry of speculation. While it may seem like a significant move, considering their remaining $2.6 billion in Bitcoin holdings, I remain cautiously optimistic.


Based on information from Arkham Intelligence, it was reported that Cathie Wood’s asset management firm, Ark Invest, offloaded approximately $100 million in Bitcoin on August 28th.

Ark Invest continues to hold roughly $2.6 billion worth of Bitcoin after the most recent outflows. 

According to the analysis from the financial firm, it appears that investors who purchased the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) could have chosen to sell at the lowest point.

ARKB was responsible for the vast majority of outflows that were recorded yesterday.

On August 28th, I observed a significant drop in the price of the foremost cryptocurrency, reaching as low as $57,866 on Bitstamp. As per the analysis by Glassnode co-founders Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, this post-weekend decline was primarily due to the downturn in the US equities market. They pointed out that there has been a notable surge in Bitcoin’s intraday correlation with the S&P 500 recently.

In the realm of the options market, there’s a lean towards purchasing put options for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, suggesting that traders are adopting a more conservative approach.

According to numerous market analysts, the anticipated interest rate reduction in September is likely to serve as a substantial trigger for the market. Yet, if the reduction turns out to be larger than expected, it may lead to considerable market turbulence.

Earlier today, Bitcoin managed to reclaim the $60,000, but it has now pared some of its gains. 

Uber-bullish predictions 

According to a report from U.Today, the CEO of Ark Invest, Cathie Wood, has frequently expressed extremely optimistic views about Bitcoin’s potential future value.

In March, the famed stock-picker forecasted that the price of the leading cryptocurrency could surge to as high as $3.8 million in the long term due to growing institutional adoption.
