New York, June 1, 2026, 13:05 (EDT)
Robinhood Markets shares slipped 4.5% to $90.07 by midday Monday, pulling back after last week’s gain. A new Supreme Court move has put questions about the broker’s 2021 IPO filings back on the table. The stock moved in a range of $85.60 to $94.88. Volume was close to 28.3 million shares.
Robinhood had just gotten investor focus back with new growth pushes—child investment accounts tied to government, AI tools for trading, and a loosening path in the U.S. for some crypto derivatives. Monday’s legal twist pulled the old meme-stock days back into view.
Supreme Court wants input from President Donald Trump’s administration on whether to take up Robinhood’s push to toss a proposed class-action case alleging the brokerage misled IPO investors on its financials and growth. The plaintiffs say Robinhood didn’t fully disclose the waning effect of meme-stock and Dogecoin trades before the July 2021 debut. Robinhood claims its filings warned investors about risks tied to trading surges.
The justices asking for the administration’s input doesn’t guarantee they’ll hear the case. But it does keep a cloud from the securities suit hanging over Robinhood, while investors work to gauge the firm’s worth beyond its reputation as a trading app from the lockdown years.
Stocks were split near midday. The Dow slipped 0.27% while the S&P 500 held flat. The Nasdaq ticked up 0.18%, lifted by AI tech names, as oil prices rose and the rest of the market failed to provide a clear lead.
Robinhood said the Trump Accounts app is out now. Kids born from 2025 to 2028 can get a $1,000 starter contribution from the U.S. Treasury, if eligible. Robinhood Securities is acting as initial trustee for these accounts, for Treasury and through BNY as financial agent.
Robinhood has opened its platform to AI agents, digital assistants that follow user instructions instead of just replying to prompts. Customers are able to set up separate trading accounts for these agents. The platform also lets agents access a virtual Robinhood Gold credit card, though usage is subject to spending limits and company approval. “I think our audience right now is the early adopters of agents,” said Abhishek Fatehpuria, Robinhood’s vice president of product management for brokerage, in an interview with Reuters.

Crypto is a key swing factor here. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission on May 29 issued a policy statement on perpetual contracts, which are derivatives that don’t have a fixed expiry. The agency also signed off on KalshiEX’s BTCPERP bitcoin perpetual futures contract. Separately, the CFTC put out a no-action position on Coinbase Financial Markets’ plan to offer some digital-commodity derivatives on Deribit, its foreign affiliate.
Coinbase gets pulled into the mix here. Coinbase shares slipped about 4.3% on Monday. Charles Schwab, seen as a more classic broker, added around 0.4%. Robinhood still trades more off activity and product buzz. At Monday’s close, Robinhood’s market cap stood near $82.4 billion, and the stock was at about 44 times earnings.
Robinhood’s latest quarter brought a mixed bag. The broker posted a 15% jump in revenue to $1.07 billion. Net deposits hit $17.7 billion, and Gold subscribers were 4.3 million. But crypto revenue dropped 47% to $134 million. CEO Vlad Tenev said Robinhood was “increasingly positioned at the center” of its customers’ financial lives. CFO Shiv Verma said users “rapidly adopted new products.” GlobeNewswire
There’s a risk here: investors are betting a lot has to go right at the same time. The Supreme Court might let the IPO case move forward. Crypto trading volumes could stay weak, or AI-agent trading could face more oversight if clients lose money or the agents act in ways nobody expects.
The stock is stuck for now, pulled between its better product outlook and legal baggage from earlier. The question is if the new headlines actually push up deposits, trading and fees, or if this is just another quick Robinhood spike.
