Robinhood layoffs will cut 10% as part of an org chart 'flattening.' Read the CEO's memo.

Robinhood is cutting 10% of its staff as CEO Vlad Tenev says the business has "never been stronger," but the company needs to flatten its org chart. The move signals cost discipline and restructuring rather than operational distress, though it is still a negative read on workforce scale. The headline is likely to affect Robinhood shares modestly, but it is not a sector-wide event.
