After the discount trading pioneer found itself in the midst of a battle between hedge funds on one side and a slurry of retail and institutional capital on the other, Robinhood’s trading volume spiked last week. > But after the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) raised its deposit requirements before the market open on Friday, Robinhood was forced to restrict trading in a number of popular stocks. The company also drew down its credit lines and raised new capital from prior investors to stay open during a trading avalanche.
