[Para 1: The Lead] Cathie Wood's Ark Invest increased net exposure to crypto with a $21.5 million purchase of Coinbase ($COIN), Circle ($CRCL), and Bullish ($BLSH) amid weakness in Bitcoin below $90,000. Nancy Pelosi's family sold about $50 million in Apple and shifted to long-term LEAPS and high-yield assets, including exercising Vistra and Tempus AI options for gains. [Para 2: Supporting Details & Context] Ark Invest added 920K shares of Circle at $71.33 for about $9.2M and 42.2K shares of Coinbase for about $9.15M. Pelosi sold $50M Apple and bought LEAPS in GOOGL, AMZN, AAPL, and NVDA expiring in 2027. She sold PayPal and bought significant AllianceBernstein shares with a 7-9% historical dividend yield, and exercised VST and TEM options in January 2026. [Para 3: Market Context] NYSE and ICE are developing tokenized equity platforms to address real-time settlement and 24/7 trading needs, complementing platforms like Bitget that offer USDT-pegged stock futures for fractional exposure to major tech and thematic names.
