COIN touched a record high above $395 during Friday trading as bitcoin ascended to an all-time high of around $118,000.

Rallies in particular shares often prompt sizeable sales from ARK, which has a target weighting of no particular holding exceeding 10% of an ETF’s total value.

COIN is priced at $393.50 in pre-market trading at the time of writing, 1.66% higher than its Friday closing price, as BTC’s surge extended to claim a new all-time high above $122,000.
