Cardano (ADA) among cryptocurrencies at risk of delisting on Robinhood
The Robinhood trading platform is currently reviewing its crypto offerings after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued lawsuits against the two flagship cryptocurrency trading platforms, Binance and Coinbase. In its lawsuits, the regulator stated that a range of cryptocurrencies, including Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL) and Polygon (MATIC), are unregistered securities and, therefore, are illegal on U.S.-based exchanges like Robinhood. If the SEC lawsuits prove successful, Robinhood may have to delist these cryptocurrencies to remain compliant with U.S. securities laws.

Now it means you're probably doing something right." The comment caught the attention of Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, to which he replied that the SEC did not sue FTX, the notorious exchange that went bankrupt, implying the unfairness of the regulator's actions.
