- Robinhood tweeted Friday that “crypto trading is fully restored” after “unprecedented demand” for its services created issues executing orders for several hours late Thursday night and into Friday morning.
- The company had acknowledged that orders were displayed as “pending” for extended periods.
- The demand appears to have been led by users looking to buy dogecoin, which more than doubled in price in the last 24 hours to hit an all-time high of $0.29.
- DOGE has pulled back subsequently and is sitting at $0.27 at press time.
- Robinhood denied the suggestion that it was limiting dogecoin trading, tweeting that this was “false information.”
- The online brokerage app has seen a surge in customer sign-ups so far this year with CEO Vlad Tenev speaking of the challenge in responding to this to ensure that its system remains stable.
No, we didn’t place restrictions on $DOGE trading. This is false information. For latest operational updates, check https://t.co/hS5J5eu1GV.

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
Що варто знати:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
