  • Shares in Robinhood rose about 8% on Wednesday as the platform pushes further into the "everything exchange" race, competing to host trading, lending, and tokenized assets under one roof.
  • Serving more than 28 million customers across 38 countries, the brokerage is diversifying financial services to reduce reliance on trading activity, following recent workforce cuts of 10%.
