🚀 Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest Goes Full Bullish on Crypto – NYSE in a Tizzy! 🤑

by

Well, butter my biscuit and call me a wizard, Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest has decided to throw another $5 million into the cauldron of Bullish shares, because apparently, they’ve got more faith in crypto than a troll has in a bridge toll. 🌉✨ Across their innovation-focused ETFs, they’re doubling down like a dwarf on a gold mine, and this isn’t their first rodeo-or should I say, rocket launch? 🚀

ARK Invest: Bullish on Being Bullish

Trade filings from late October (yes, the same month when everyone else was carving pumpkins 🎃) reveal that ARK Innovation (ARKK), ARK Next Generation Internet (ARKW), and ARK Fintech Innovation (ARKF) all decided to pile onto the Bullish bandwagon. Collectively, they scooped up over 100,000 shares, marking ARK’s third shopping spree since Bullish’s NYSE debut. Because, you know, why stop at one wave when you can have a tsunami? 🌊

This latest round follows an $8.27 million buy-in in mid-October and a jaw-dropping $172 million allocation during Bullish’s $1.1 billion IPO. Market analysts are nodding sagely, saying this is a “clear vote of confidence,” which is just a fancy way of saying, “ARK thinks Bullish is the bee’s knees.” 🐝 Whether they’ll outshine Coinbase and Kraken remains to be seen, but hey, at least they’ve got Tom Farley, the ex-NYSE president, steering the ship. 🛳️

From Crypto Nursery to Wall Street Ball

Bullish’s NYSE listing is like a fairy tale come true-a crypto-native company actually making it to the big leagues without turning into a pumpkin at midnight. 🎭 Originally hatched by Block.one, the exchange is now led by Farley, whose appointment is seen as a “we’re legit, folks” signal to institutional traders still wary of offshore shenanigans. 🕵️♂️

Since its 2021 inception, Bullish has processed over $1.5 trillion in trading volume, putting it in the top 10 global exchanges for Bitcoin and Ethereum activity. Their platform promises transparency, security, and liquidity-the holy trinity of post-FTX crypto. 🙏 If only all exchanges could be this… un-FTX-like.

U.S. Launch: Bullish Goes Stateside

In October, Bullish finally got its stars and stripes after snagging a BitLicense and a money transmission license from New York regulators. 🎉 They launched operations in 20 states, starting with spot trading for institutional bigwigs like BitGo and Nonco. To celebrate, they threw a bash in NYC that was so fancy, even the blockchain entrepreneurs showed up. 🥂

According to attendees, the mood was “optimistic,” which in crypto-speak means “we’re not panicking… yet.” Bullish tweeted, “The energy in the room said it all – the future is Bullish!” Well, duh, it’s your party. 🎈 But we’ll take it.

What a night! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the Bullish U.S. launch with us.

It was incredible to bring together so many leaders shaping the future of digital assets.

The energy in the room said it all – the future is Bullish!

ARK’s Crypto Crystal Ball

ARK Invest’s Bullish binge is just one piece of their crypto puzzle. Cathie Wood’s crew has been betting on disruptive tech like it’s going out of style, with digital assets now front and center. Beyond Bitcoin ETFs, they’re diving into crypto infrastructure-trading platforms, custody providers, and tokenization startups. Because, as Wood puts it, “We’re witnessing the integration of crypto into the core of financial systems.” 🌐

Regulated exchanges like Bullish, she argues, are the bridge between institutional capital and digital markets. “Companies like Bullish are essential to that transformation,” Wood said. Essential? More like the toll troll guarding the bridge. But hey, someone’s got to do it. 🧙♂️
