Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest Adds Nvidia, Block, Securitize and Solana ETF

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest made another round of purchases across AI, fintech and crypto on August 17.
The firm bought:
• 191,671 shares of Block
• 189,796 shares of Securitize
• 101,356 shares of Nvidia $NVDA
• 7,115 shares of the 3iQ Solana Staking ETF
The mix reflects several of ARK’s highest-conviction themes at once.
Nvidia provides direct exposure to the AI infrastructure boom, while Block and Securitize sit closer to the convergence of fintech, tokenization and digital assets.
The additional Solana ETF purchase also shows ARK continuing to build regulated exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Cathie Wood is still leaning aggressively into AI and crypto infrastructure rather than backing away from the risk trade.
