Robinhood is under investigation in Florida for claiming to offer crypto trading at the lowest cost.
The state prosecutor alleges that Robinhood's crypto unit falsely promoted itself as the least expensive way to purchase crypto.
The investigation is focused on Robinhood's payment-for-order-flow model, with claims that trading on Robinhood may be more expensive than on other platforms due to this structure.
Revenue from crypto has become significant for Robinhood, overtaking earnings from options trading, but the company is considering reducing its dependence on crypto as trading volumes fluctuate.
