(NASDAQ:CRWV) and Avidxchange Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:AVDX).

The BEAM Trade: Ark Invest’s ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKK) purchased 349,264 shares of Beam Therapeutics. The biotech company’s stock has been on the radar of many investors due to its innovative approach to genetic medicines.

The value of this trade, based on the day’s closing price, is approximately $6.25 million.

The GTLB Trade: GitLab also saw significant buying activity from Ark Invest. The ARKK and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:ARKW) bought a combined total of 227,698 shares of the software company.
