read moreARK Invest Buys Figma Dip After 20% Stock Drop
Figma’s stock plummeted nearly 20% to $54.56 after its first earnings report since going public, despite posting a 41% year-over-year revenue increase to $249.6 million. ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, reportedly added over 100,000 shares to its ARKW ETF, following its pattern of buying during selloffs. The company’s guidance for adjusted operating income of $90-100 million erased much of its post-IPO premium. Additionally, Figma disclosed holding approximately $90 million in Bitcoin through an ETF, though CEO Dylan Field emphasized the company remains focused on design rather than being a ‘Bitcoin holding company.’ Analysts view ARK’s purchase as a conviction signal in Figma’s long-term potential despite short-term execution risks.

read moreBitcoin Could Hit $175K by Year-End, Says SOL Strategies CEO
Leah Wald, CEO of SOL Strategies, remains bullish on Bitcoin despite recent volatility, forecasting a potential rise to $175,000 by year-end. She attributes this optimism to increased institutional involvement from firms like BlackRock and influential investors such as Cathie Wood, alongside supportive comments from financial leaders like Larry Fink. Wald notes that the crypto industry is recovering from the FTX collapse, with banks and asset managers reopening doors to crypto investments, facilitating larger capital inflows. While acknowledging risks, she highlights a shift from short-term trading to blockchain-based infrastructure development, driven by nation-state adoption and institutional custody services. Long-term projections even suggest Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2030, fueled by adoption trends and limited supply.

ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, has executed notable trades across its ETF suite amid recent market volatility. The firm sold 559.85 BTC ($64.4M) from its ARKB Bitcoin ETF, coinciding with a broader sell-off in crypto ETFs and Bitcoin’s price decline from recent highs. Simultaneously, ARK’s Innovation ETF (ARKK) purchased $21.2M in Bullish shares and $16.2M in Robinhood stock, continuing a pattern of accumulation in these positions. Both ETFs saw daily declines (ARKB -2.79%, ARKK -3.99%) as markets remain shaky ahead of the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium, which is expected to influence near-term market direction. The trades reflect ARK’s active management approach during correction periods.
read moreBitcoin’s Steady Climb: Bullish Signals & Cautionary Calls
Bitcoin’s price hovers at $118,350, with short-term technical models forecasting an 11% rise to $129,690 by September 2025. Market indicators remain bullish, with the Fear & Greed Index at 64 (Greed) and 43% green days over the past month. Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg cautions that Bitcoin may only have 27% upside left before a downturn, though he sees a >50% chance of hitting $140–150K this year. Institutional demand, including spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and treasury purchases, has fueled recent gains, but McClurg warns that a slowdown in big buyers could pressure prices. Macro concerns, including Fed rate cuts expected in September and October, add uncertainty. Meanwhile, bullish voices like Cathie Wood and Michael Saylor project long-term targets as high as $1.5M, citing institutional adoption and Bitcoin’s fixed supply.
