Robinhood is introducing support for the new resource as it acknowledges the struggle Because the current market is depressed.
In early August, the company laid off 23% of its workforce amid a decline in client activity. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev argued that the company currently employs more staff than it needs.
“We have seen additional deterioration in the macro environment, including a widespread crypto market crash with inflation at a 40-year high. This has further reduced customer trading activity and assets in custody.”
Despite the slowdown, Robinhood is seeing a positive response to its multichain, non-custodial crypto wallet, which the firm says has more than 1 million people joining the waiting list just two months after opening.
