Robinhood (HOOD) stock is soaring 5.04% in pre-market trading on Friday, following news that Ark Invest, led by CEO Cathie Wood, has made a substantial $21.3 million purchase of the company's shares. This move by the influential investment firm has sparked renewed interest in the popular trading platform.

According to Ark Invest's daily trade disclosure, the firm acquired 131,049 shares through its Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) and 36,440 shares via its Ark Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW). This significant investment has resulted in Robinhood shares accounting for nearly 19% of both funds' holdings, demonstrating Ark's strong conviction in the company's future prospects.

The surge in Robinhood's stock price comes as the company continues to expand its footprint in the cryptocurrency space. Recent acquisitions of WonderFi and Bitstamp, along with the development of a Layer-2 blockchain on Arbitrum, showcase Robinhood's commitment to diversifying its offerings beyond traditional retail trading. This strategic shift aligns with Ark Invest's focus on innovative and disruptive technologies, potentially explaining the investment firm's increased stake in the company.
