The popular trading platform also beat first quarter revenue and earnings estimates.

Robinhood apparently made strenuous efforts to comply with the agency, even applying to become a special purpose crypto broker-dealer. The SEC is likely to sue for alleged securities violations in any case.
The trading platform previously ended support for all tokens that were named in SEC lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase.
