Popular asset management firm Ark Invest has invested approximately $39 million in the acquisition of shares in Bullish, Circle Internet Group, and BitMine Immersion Technologies.
The purchases were made across the company’s Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). With the gloomy condition of the crypto market and drop in stock prices, such a move marks a strong conviction for the long-term potential.

Altogether, this brought the total number of Bullish shares bought to $16.8 million, Circle shares to around $15 million, and BitMine shares to $7.6 million.
The Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest spent approximately $39 million on all these acquisitions.
