Bitcoin bull Cathie Wood’s asset management firm Ark Invest extends Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood Markets (HOOD) selling spree as crypto shares take a hit despite a rally across the crypto market. Bitcoin surpassed $45.5K on Tuesday for the first time in last 2 years as investors consider a spot Bitcoin ETF approval by the US SEC. 
Negative sentiment today is causing Coinbase and other crypto shares to open much lower. Interestingly, Cathie Wood was on the mark again with another accurate prediction.
