The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) remains a primary target for short sellers, consistently appearing as one of the most shorted ETFs on the Interactive Brokers platform. This sustained interest reflects ongoing market skepticism regarding the underlying holdings of the fund. Because this data is derived from the IBKR securities lending desk, it provides a window into the cost and availability of borrowing shares for shorting purposes. Traders should note that high short interest in an ETF like ARKK can often lead to increased volatility, especially if borrow fees spike or if there is a sudden change in the availability of lendable shares.
