Cathie Wood sold another $26.3 million of Coinbase shares on Monday but said she’s still bullish on the cryptocurrency exchange.

Wood’s Ark funds dumped 76,788 Coinbase shares, which she said was profit-taking after the exchange’s stock had soared. The funds were being reallocated elsewhere, she said, in an interview with Bloomberg Television.

Coinbase shares are up more than 223% so far this year and more than 90% in the past month. Wood said she is ”very positive on Coinbase, especially in light of the court ruling for Ripple.”
