Robinhood, a platform known for providing commission-free investment services, has seen a jump in shares after the CEO of FTX crypto exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, took a 7% stake in the firm. The purchase was confirmed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, as per a report from CNBC.

Robinhood represents "an attractive investment"

After the confirmation of the purchase, the shares of Robinhood shot up by 36% at one point. However, the shares are nearly 77% low than their IPO price last July. At the time of writing, the price of the stock was $10.69 and was up nearly 24% in the last 24 hours.

Interestingly, as per the document, Emergent Fidelity Technologies took a stake worth $648 million in Robinhood as well. Although, Bankman-Fried remains the sole director and majority owner. As per the official documents, the founder of the Bahamian cryptocurrency exchange finds the financial services provider "an attractive investment."

"The Reporting Persons intend to hold the Shares as an investment and do not currently have any intention of taking any action toward changing or influencing the control of the Issuer," the filing says. 
The filing also revealed that Bankman-Fried might engage in discussions with the management from time to time." Of course, we think it is an attractive investment too," the Robinhood team took to Twitter to confirm the news.

No intention to take other actions

SBF currently has no intentions to take other actions, as confirmed by CNBC. However, he may review "options for enhancing stockholder value through, among other things, various strategic alternatives or operational or management initiatives," said the filing, if the circumstances change in the near future. In such an event, he might also acquire additional shares of the firm. 

On the other hand, Robinhood has begun its journey in the world of cryptocurrencies and has also tested a wallet launched in partnership with Chainalysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
