What to know:

  • Cathie Wood's ARK Invest purchased nearly $60 million in crypto equities, including significant investments in Coinbase, Bullish, and Circle.
  • ARK's strategy involves buying during market drawdowns, as evidenced by their recent purchases amid a multi-day slide in crypto stocks.
  • Crypto stocks have been declining, with Bitmine, Circle, CoreWeave, Coinbase, and Bullish all experiencing notable drops.

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest went bargain hunting on Monday, as some of the biggest listed names in the crypto sector, including Coinbase (COIN), Bullish (BLSH), and Circle (CRCL), extended a multi-day slide.

According to the email disclosure, ARK’s roughly $59 million in crypto stock purchases included about $16.3 million of Coinbase, roughly $5.2 million of Bullish, and around $10.8 million of Circle Internet Group, followed by about $17 million of Bitmine Immersion Technologies and roughly $9.9 million of CoreWeave.

Crypto stocks had already been sliding for several sessions before the latest selloff, with Bitmine down more than 11% on the day, Circle falling nearly 10%, CoreWeave dropping close to 8%, Coinbase sliding over 6% and Bullish extending a multi-day decline as selling accelerated across the sector.

ARK has a long track record of buying into drawdowns rather than chasing strength, using multi-day selloffs in crypto stocks to add exposure even as prices continue to fall.

Crypto plays a large part of ARK’s holdings, with roughly $609M in Coinbase, about $323M in Circle Internet Group, around $275M in Bitmine Immersion Technologies, approximately $194M in Bullish, and about $140M in CoreWeave, underscoring that the firm’s recent dip buying added to already sizable positions.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
