‘This is on me’ — Robinhood CEO to lay off 23% of staff after Q2 loss
Online brokerage firm Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) will lay off nearly a quarter of its employees, citing a continued deterioration of the macro environment and a broad crypto market crash.
The bad news came in a Tuesday blog post from co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev, on the same day the firm released tepid Q2 financial results and the New York State Department of Financial Services announced a $30 million fine for the company’s crypto branch due to alleged Anti-Money Laundering, cybersecurity and consumer protection violations.
