On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made a significant move by reducing its holdings in Robinhood Markets Inc HOOD. This decision came amidst a period of market fluctuations and followed a recent trend of the investment firm adjusting its portfolio.

The HOOD Trade: Ark Invest’s decision to trim its position in Robinhood was executed through three of its ETFs. The ARK Fintech Innovation ETF ARKF sold 31,827 shares, while the ARK Innovation ETF ARKK and the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW offloaded 215,675 and 76,299 shares respectively. Based on Robinhood’s closing price of $23.42 on Monday, the total value of the shares sold is approximately $7.6 million.

The volatility in Robinhood shares comes amid a revival of the meme stock saga, recently Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev announced that the company was prepared to handle any traffic influx resulting from a scheduled live stream from Roaring Kitty, also known as Keith Gill, who is famous for his investments in GameStop Corporation. The company also recently announced a $1 billion buyback, which contributed to the stock’s upward trend.
