Robinhood keeps kicking the can down the road 

As reported by U.Today, the question about the Shiba Inu listing was the top-voted one ahead of Robinhood’s Q3 earnings call. 

Yet, the company failed to set the record straight on the matter despite investors’ expectations. 

CEO Vlad Tenev said that the trading app was “carefully” evaluating new coins: 

We feel very very good about the coins that we’re currently listing on our platform and any new coins that we add we want to feel equally, if not more good. 

Robinhood’s shares plunged more than 8% in after-hours trading after the company revealed that its cryptocurrency-based revenue had tanked by a higher-than-expected 78%.

The online brokerage app made only $51 million with cryptocurrency transactions compared to $233 million during the previous quarter.
