Robinhood has focused on the cryptocurrency sector for the past few years. The day before, it announced a partnership with the blockchain analysis company Chainalysis to provide data and tools for the introduction of its own cryptocurrency wallet. Currently, the waiting list for this feature, which is slated to start early next year, has grown to more than 1.6 million. But investors in the company’s stock have had a difficult year. Shares are down nearly 70% from August highs following the company’s IPO.
