The suspension extended to other stocks which caused big losses for hedge funds.
Robinhood restricts Gamestops shares
Free stock trading pioneer Robinhood and Interactive Broker are restricting users to only sell their open new positions but not open new ones. They have also gone on to raise margin requirements on other stocks.
“We continuously monitor the markets and make changes where necessary,” said Robinhood in a statement.
“In light of recent volatility, we are restricting transactions for certain securities to position closing only, including $AAL, $AMC, $BB, $BBBY, $CTRM, $EXPR, $GME, $KOSS, $NAKD, $NOK, $SNDL, $TR, and $TRVG. We also raised margin requirements for certain securities,” the trading platform added.
Gamestop shares rose more than 400% this week and over 1,700% this year mainly due to retail investors in Reddit chatrooms, and left institutions in the red.
Users not impressed
The decision taken by brokerage firms to suspend trading Gamestop shares outraged users who felt that Robinhood was protecting Wall Street from losses.
However, this is a complete departure from the cryptocurrency market where decentralized finance (DeFi) is taking its root.
The cryptocurrency market has seen wild swings in asset prices but exchanges have not taken such action, save for some moments when exchanges had outages that angered traders.
The DeFi landscape is on a streak with some of the tokens registering double-digit gains in the past 24 hours. Chainlink is up more than 10% and Fantom gained more than 35% in the same period.
Other assets have performed well over a seven-day period with Fantom posting gains of 277%. Alpha Finance Lab (ALPHA) is up 153% in the same period with 1inch enjoying a 94% surge.
Grayscale Aave Trust
Grayscale, one of the largest digital asset management firm, is entering the DeFi space after filing trusts for Aave, Polkadot, and Cosmos.
The asset manager also filed a trust for privacy coin Monero weeks after the digital asset was delisted from Bittrex.
The filings do not indicate that the trusts will be launched but rather, lays down the foundational work for possible launches in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
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.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
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.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
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.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
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.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
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.
How often is content updated?
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.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
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.
