On January 15, it was reported that the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant correction in Q4 2025, which directly dragged down the overall performance of several ARK ETFs under Cathie Wood, once again highlighting ARK funds’ high sensitivity to digital asset price fluctuations.
According to the quarterly report released by ARK, crypto-related stocks represented by COIN weakened notably this quarter, becoming one of the main performance drag sources for ARK Next Generation Internet ETF, ARK Fintech Innovation ETF, and ARK Innovation ETF. The report pointed out that, influenced by the market liquidation event in October 2025, centralized platform spot trading volume decreased by approximately 9% quarter-over-quarter, with COIN’s stock price decline significantly exceeding that of mainstream crypto assets during the same period.
Data shows that the stock price of the largest compliant CEX in the US fell nearly 35% in Q4 2025, with Bitcoin dropping about 22% and Ethereum about 28% during the same period. Although the platform held product launch events and proposed long-term strategic plans including on-chain stocks, prediction markets, AI investment advisors, and Layer 2 Base ecosystem expansion, market risk appetite did not improve significantly amid macro and industry pressures.
Apart from the aforementioned CEX, Roblox became the second-largest drag on ARK ETFs. Despite its Q3 financial report showing a 51% year-over-year increase in bookings, ongoing investments in infrastructure and security led to a cautious outlook on its 2026 operating profit margin. Additionally, Russia’s restrictions on the platform’s operation citing children’s safety concerns have put pressure on its user base and stock price.
Notably, the current holdings of crypto assets in ARKW, ARKF, and ARKK are approximately 13.7%, 14.6%, and 7.4%, respectively. Besides COIN, ARK’s related holdings also include Robinhood Markets, Circle Internet Group, Block, and spot Bitcoin via the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF.
From an institutional perspective, Wall Street remains relatively optimistic about COIN’s long-term prospects. Bank of America and Goldman Sachs recently both assigned a “Buy” rating to it, believing that crypto-related stocks, after their adjustment, may see a valuation recovery window in early 2026.
