Robinhood restricts cryptocurrency trading after Dogecoin price soared 1,000%

  • The trading app has come under a lot of criticism lately after limiting purchase orders for GameStop.
  • A famous Reddit group called WallStreetBets boosted GameStop stocks to fight shorts.

Robinhood, one of the most famous trading apps, has restricted cryptocurrency trading on Friday as the price of Dogecoin skyrocketed by up to 1,000% and even Bitcoin skyrocketed 30% thanks to Elon Musk tweet.

Elon Musk changed his Twitter bio to simply #Bitcoin. This caused the price of Bitcoin to increase by around 30%. Before Musk’s tweet, the WallStreetBets Reddit group began pumping out Dogecoin, which ranked in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
