In the latest trading session, Cathie Wood’s ARK ETFs have made notable adjustments to their holdings, with Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB) leading the purchases and Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:NASDAQ:PLTR) witnessing a significant sell-off. ARK’s flagship ARKK ETF acquired a substantial 214,624 shares of Airbnb, totaling a value of approximately $29.63 million, marking the largest dollar-value trade for the day.

The daily trade report for Wednesday, 14 May 2025, shows that ARK’s investment strategies continue to adapt to the evolving market landscape. Alongside Airbnb, ARK’s ARKF ETF bolstered its position in eToro Group Ltd (NASDAQ:ETOR), adding 140,000 shares worth around $7.28 million. This move indicates ARK’s growing confidence in the social trading platform.

Another notable buy includes CRISPR Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:CRSP), with ARKK ETF purchasing 31,983 shares, reflecting a continued investment in the gene-editing company with a total dollar value of about $1.19 million. The consistent buying pattern in CRISPR Therapeutics over the past week underscores ARK’s bullish stance on the biotech sector.

On the sell side, ARK’s ARKK ETF reduced its stake in Palantir Technologies, offloading 206,881 shares valued at roughly $26.5 million. This trade represents the most significant sale by dollar value for the day.
