The company earns its revenue from three main sources: interest earned on customers’ cash balances, selling order information to high-frequency traders (a practice for which the SEC opened an investigation into the company in September 2020) and margin lending.
In March 2022, Robinhood launched the Robinhood Cash Card, a debit card that allows users to automatically invest in assets like stocks and crypto when spending money.

Robinhood Markets went public on the NASDAQ in July 2021 under the ticker symbol HOOD.
FTX, the cryptocurrency platform, has approximately $450 million invested in Robinhood. It is unknown what will happen to the company’s shares since it has filed for bankruptcy and is being investigated for fraud.
