POSITIVE IMPACT
The SEC's approval of the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, which is associated with Ark Invest, could lead to increased investor interest in ARK ETFs, including ARKW, especially with the reduced expense ratio and fee waiver incentive.
The direct approval of the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF by the SEC and the subsequent adjustments to the fund's expense ratio are likely to have a positive impact on ARK ETFs, including ARKW, as they may attract more investors looking to gain exposure to Bitcoin through a regulated fund.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
Elon Musk's comments on Bitcoin and Dogecoin, as well as the SEC's approval of the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, may influence investor sentiment towards Tesla, given Musk's association with the company and its previous acceptance and then discontinuation of Bitcoin for vehicle purchases.
While Musk's comments do not directly pertain to Tesla's operations, his influence as CEO and the company's past interactions with Bitcoin may affect investor perceptions. However, the lack of concrete actions regarding Tesla's use of Bitcoin or Dogecoin makes the impact more speculative and less direct.
