Robinhood cut nearly 300 employees, or about 10 percent of its workforce, the company announced, saying the move reflected a push to remain a "lean, hyper-focused team where every single individual is empowered to make a massive impact."

#### SCOPE AND RATIONALE

The cuts, about 290 full-time roles, were aimed at flattening management layers, with chief executive Vlad Tenev saying Robinhood "cannot default to operating as a heavily-layered organization." In a regulatory filing, Robinhood said the reduction was part of efforts to maintain a high performance culture, further accelerate product velocity and remain lean and disciplined, and that it was acting from a position of business strength, with June month-to-date average daily trading volumes at record levels.

Neither Tenev's memo nor the company's regulatory filing mentioned artificial intelligence, TechCrunch reported.

#### RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 Robinhood said it expected cash restructuring and related charges of about $20 million for employee severance and benefits costs and about $8 million related to share-based compensation, to be recognised in the second quarter of 2026, and that the reduction also involved closing a small number of open roles.
