This move underscores the fund's confidence in the e-commerce giant's long-term growth prospects. Additionally, ARK made a substantial investment in Mercadolibre Inc (NASDAQ:MELI), acquiring a total of 7,041 shares through its ARK Web x.0 ETF (ARKW) and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:ARKF), totaling $14,907,909.

On the selling side, ARK's most notable divestiture was in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), where it offloaded 85,019 shares from its ARKK ETF, signaling a reduction in its position worth $24,530,531. Another significant sale was of Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:NYSE:PLTR), with a combined sale of 264,513 shares from ARKK and ARKF, amounting to $14,688,406.

In the biotechnology sector, ARK continued to build its position in CRISPR Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:CRSP) by purchasing 89,779 shares, split between ARKK and ARKG ETFs, for a total value of $4,553,590. This follows a trend from previous days, suggesting a bullish stance on the gene-editing company.

Other purchases included 111,141 shares of Guardant Health Inc (NASDAQ:GH) and 80,095 shares of Illumina Inc (NASDAQ:ILMN), distributed across ARKK and ARKG ETFs. These investments indicate ARK's continued focus on the genomic revolution.
