Summary
Robinhood just cut 290 jobs — about 10% of its staff — claiming it’s all about efficiency and flattening their structure to scale faster. While this isn’t entirely unexpected, given similar moves by Coinbase and Block, the company insists its core business is “never been stronger,” citing record trading volumes in June — even as Q1 results missed expectations and crypto trading dipped. CEO Vlad Tenev frames the layoffs as proactive, not reactive, with plans to hire selectively and invest in “frontier technologies” to sharpen performance and execution.
