Robinhood looks to cut spiraling losses with more offerings as retail investor interest wanes
Robinhood's losses widened substantially in Q4 as tumbling average user spend hurt trading. The digital broker may be forced to expand its offerings to limit future losses.

The pandemic led to a flood of new investors in the stock market. Roughly 15% of retail investors in early 2021 traded for the first time in 2020, per a Charles Schwab survey.

We predict trading apps will increasingly look for novel ways to benefit from cryptos to reverse falling trading volumes.

Insider Intelligence's Will Paige has the full story.
