Robinhood's New Trading Platform
Robinhood has unveiled Robinhood Legend, a new platform designed for advanced desktop trading, marking a significant shift from its mobile-centric beginnings. As CEO Vlad Tenev explains, while the app has historically catered to younger, mobile-savvy investors, there is now a substantial need for sophisticated desktop tools that facilitate more complex trading strategies.
