The latest partial outage coincided with Dogecoin rallying to yet another all-time high of $0.61 before rapidly paring some of its gains due to a stock market sell-off led by the tech-heavy Nasdaq.

Robinhood's equities trading and options trading remain fully operational at press time.

Dogecoin fans who are growing increasingly frustrated with Robinhood's technical difficulties now have more trading options. Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange owned by the Winklevoss twins, listed the meme coin earlier today.
