As Cointelegraph reported, the downturn in crypto markets during the fourth quarter of 2025 <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-market-slide-hits-ark-etfs-coinbase-roblox-drag" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">weighed heavily on several</a> of Cathie Wood’s ARK ETFs. In its quarterly report, ARK pointed to crypto-linked equities as a major source of weakness across its flagship products.
Coinbase emerged as the largest detractor during the quarter, dragging on performance at the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), ARKF and ARKK. ARK said Coinbase shares fell more sharply than Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) as spot trading volumes on centralized exchanges declined 9% quarter-on-quarter following October’s liquidation event.
Roblox was the second-largest drag on ARK ETFs, despite posting strong third-quarter bookings growth. Shares fell after the company warned of declining operating margins in 2026 and faced additional pressure following Russia’s ban of the platform.

ARK’s continued interest in the crypto market comes as the firm expects the digital asset market could grow to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-market-28-trillion-by-2030-ark-invest" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$28 trillion by 2030</a>, driven largely by rising Bitcoin adoption and price appreciation. In its Big Ideas 2026 report, ARK projected the crypto market would expand at a 61% compound annual growth rate, with Bitcoin accounting for roughly 70% of the total market value.
ARK said that if about 20.5 million Bitcoin have been mined by 2030, the forecast implies a Bitcoin price in the $950,000 to $1 million range. The firm cited growing institutional participation, noting that Bitcoin ETFs and corporate holders increased their share of total supply in 2025.
