The company also recently added ethereum competitor Avalanche (AVAX) and Cardano (ADA) and XRP challenger Stellar (XLM) to its platform.
Robinhood admits it’s rolling out support for new assets struggle Because of the current market downturn.
In early August, the company laid off 23% of its workforce due to reduced customer activity. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev deduces that the company is hiring more people than it currently needs.
“We are seeing a further deterioration in the macro environment, with inflation hitting a 40-year high, along with a broad crypto market crash. This further reduces client trading activity and assets under custody.”
Despite the downturn, Robinhood’s multi-chain, non-custodial crypto wallet has received a positive response, with the company saying more than 1 million people were added to the waitlist two months after it opened.
