Robinhood Unhooks Partnership with Jump Trading as Crypto Scrutiny Tightens

  • Robinhood and Chicago-based Jump Trading have abruptly ended their business partnership. This termination arrives during a time of increasing scrutiny on cryptocurrency trading in the United States.
  • Internal documents from Robinhood show a notable absence of mentions of Tai Mo Shan Ltd., a Jump Trading affiliate. This indicates that Robinhood is likely changing directions in its partnerships.
  • Regulatory pressure in 2023 seems to be influencing traditional financial companies like Jump Trading, which may be scaling back their involvement in crypto markets.

In a remarkable development, Robinhood, a key retail broker, and Jump Trading, a noteworthy firm that had an important role in Robinhood’s commission-free cryptocurrency services, have cut business ties. Our sources indicate that the parting of ways happened in the first weeks of July.

While Robinhood has not openly discussed the matter, it appears that Jump Trading is deliberately pulling back from the American market. This tactical retreat likely relates to a growing wave of regulatory attention on cryptocurrency trading across the U.S.

Though the reasons for this business breakup are still hidden from the public eye, blockchain analytics highlight a divide that seems to have happened in July. At the time of this writing, neither company had responded to our requests for comment.

Financial documents of Robinhood display a noticeable shift as well. Starting from the last financial quarter of 2022, the paperwork has suddenly stopped mentioning Tai Mo Shan Ltd., an affiliate of Jump Trading. Previously, Tai Mo Shan Ltd. played a pivotal role in handling Robinhood’s crypto orders.

Instead, the retail broker looks to be turning to new allies. Regulatory documents from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission show that B2C2, another company specializing in market-making, is now the major handler of Robinhood’s cryptocurrency trades.

It’s important to point out that Jump Trading has had a broad impact on traditional financial sectors, especially through its significant involvement with exchanges like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The firm was a linchpin in Robinhood’s journey into the world of crypto and was the main source of market-making services during 2021, when cryptocurrency saw explosive growth.

The escalated regulatory atmosphere in 2023 seems to be making things tough for companies like Jump Trading, who may be finding it increasingly tricky to keep a high-profile presence in crypto markets.

This breakup between Robinhood and Jump Trading marks a significant shift in the crypto landscape. It raises questions about the future plans of both companies as they try to find their footing in a financial world that’s becoming more scrutinized than ever.

Robinhood Drew Crypto Ire

Robinhood, once popular for democratizing stock trading, found itself at odds with the cryptocurrency community. A core issue was Robinhood’s denial of wallet access to users, preventing them from withdrawing or utilizing their digital assets. This move countered the fundamental crypto principle of individual asset control.

To add fuel to the fire, the platform had recently removed cryptocurrencies Polygon, Cardano, and Solana from its listings, a move that followed legal pressures from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further straining relations, Robinhood maintained silence about its separation from key associates like Jump Trading amid regulatory scrutiny. This series of actions undermined Robinhood’s trustworthiness among crypto advocates who prioritize transparency, autonomy, and resistance to excessive regulation.
