The ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKK) fund purchased 236,289 shares of DraftKings on Tuesday. With DraftKings’ shares closing at $34.36, the transaction is valued at approximately $8.12 million.

The DoorDash Trade

Ark’s ARKX fund also acquired 4,823 shares of DoorDash, with the shares closing at $270.54, resulting in a $1.3 million investment.
