Robinhood has agreed to pay $45 million in a settlement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission after being found in violation of multiple securities laws.

Robinhood's Violations

From January 2020 through March 2022, the company failed to promptly investigate and report suspicious activity, undermining its obligations under anti-money laundering laws. Additionally, between April 2019 and July 2022, Robinhood failed to implement adequate identity theft protection policies. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities were also noted between June and November 2021 when unauthorized access to sensitive data occurred.

Reporting Errors

Robinhood Securities admitted to errors in over 11,800 Electronic Blue Sheets, leading to inaccurate reporting of at least 392 million transactions. These data are used by regulators to monitor trading activity and investigate potential market abuses.

Ongoing Investigations

Although Robinhood's crypto business wasn't included in the SEC order, the company had received a Wells notice related to its crypto listings and custody practices, indicating ongoing regulatory scrutiny.

The $45 million fine highlights significant consequences for Robinhood, emphasizing the importance of compliance with securities laws for maintaining fair market practices.
