Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) is a commission-free, SEC-registered brokerage that has fundamentally disrupted retail investing access in the U.S. Since its 2013 founding and 2021 IPO, Robinhood has amassed ~24 million funded accounts managing $1.5+ trillion in assets. The platform generates revenue through payment for order flow (PFOF), margin lending, and cryptocurrency services—not traditional commissions.
