Ark added 129,446 shares of stablecoin developer Circle, worth $9.2 million based on Friday’s closing price of $71.33. CRCL’s price was little-changed on Friday, but had fallen nearly 10% throughout the week.
It also bought 42,179 shares of crypto exchange Coinbase and 88,533 shares in Bullish, the owner of CoinDesk, worth $9.15 million and $3.17 million, respectively. The former fell 2.77% on Friday and the latter 2%.
The crypto market reverted to bearishness last week, with bitcoin nearly 6% lower on Friday compared with a week earlier, dropping under the $90,000 mark in the process.
Ark’s long-established method is to buy into dips in equity prices, seeking the greater value that multiday drops may offer.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

The temporary loss of mining power underscores academic concerns that geographic and pool concentration can magnify infrastructure failures, though markets showed little immediate reaction.
What to know:
- Bitcoin’s hashrate fell about 10 percent during a U.S. winter storm, underscoring how local power disruptions can strain the network’s capacity to process transactions.
- Researchers have shown that concentrated mining, as seen in a 2021 regional outage in China, can lead to slower block times, higher fees and broader market disruptions.
- With a few large pools now controlling most of Bitcoin’s hashrate, the network is increasingly vulnerable to localized infrastructure failures, even as the price of BTC remains largely unaffected in the short term.
