As for its cryptocurrency unit, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission sent a Wells Notice to Robinhood. This notice is going to be enforced to take effect by legal enforcement. Nevertheless, the company’s officials asserted that the cryptocurrency assets that their platform offers are not considered securities under the existing laws.
