The slide in the cryptocurrency market, which saw bitcoin fall as low as $89,000 this week, has taken a bite out of the shares prices of crypto firms. Both CRCL and BMNR dropped by around 9% on Wednesday, while BLSH, which owns CoinDesk, lost 3.63%. The CoinDesk 20 index (CD20) fell 3.22%.

Ark Invest frequently goes bargain hunting when share prices appear depressed, sometimes to gain maximum value from equities it remains bullish on in the long term and sometimes to rebalance the holdings of its ETFs within its targeted parameters.
