A couple of the ARK exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood made a huge sell on Wednesday. Accordingly these funds sold nearly 280,000 shares of Square Inc. (NASDAQ: SQ | SQ Price Prediction) shares on Wednesday, as the price of these ETFs dropped less than 1% in the session. Note that this ETF is still up over 100% in the last year.

ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK) sold 185,396 shares of Square, and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) sold 94,679 shares. At Wednesday’s closing price this would have valued this sale at roughly $71.2 million. Even though this is a small fraction of the total holdings, every little bit counts. ARKK is up 136% in the last year and ARKW is up 148%.
