"Robinhood's core customer base has always skewed toward smaller, younger retail accounts, and the old $25,000 PDT threshold was a hard ceiling on engagement for exactly that demographic."
"Robinhood's Gold subscribers reached 4.2 million, up 58% year over year, and total platform assets hit $324 billion, up 68% year over year."
