Robinhood just closed its Canadian entry through the acquisition of two major crypto exchanges — and personal finance educator Dr. Preet Banerjee has some thoughts on what follows a platform with dozens of millions in SEC fines and a business model that profits from your trading activity, not your returns.

Dr. Preet Banerjee connects the dots between zero-commission trading, social media investing communities, meme stock mania, and the gamblification of markets — a term that captures something gamification alone doesn’t. When sports betting went dark during lockdowns, people bet on stocks instead. That dynamic didn’t disappear when the world reopened.

Knowing the number — even a bad one — is still the most useful place to start.
