Users say Robinhood is down as stocks soar

Users are reporting that trading platform Robinhood is down on a day that’s seen stock markets soar.

Some users said Etrade was also experiencing problems. A spokesperson for Etrade said its platform is “fully operational” but declined to comment further.

Robinhood’s

status page

says all systems are “operational,” but its website crashed on loading, stating: “An internal error occured! [sic].”

Robinhood did not immediately comment.

After weeks of turbulent markets largely driven by coronavirus concerns, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is up 3% in early morning trading.

Users quickly turned to

Twitter

to complain.

Robinhood, which earlier this month raised $280 million

pushing its valuation to $8.3 billion

, took heat in March after several days of outages

saw users unable to trade on the platform. Users were left furious after the outage prevented access to the platform on what was one of the busiest trading days of the year so far.

The financial startup said it would offer case-by-case compensation to its 10 million users for their troubles. Months earlier, the company

admitted a glitch

that let users borrow more money than they were allowed.

Morgan Stanley

bought Etrade earlier this year

for $13 billion. Last year Etrade reported record revenue of $2.9 billion.
