How will the collaboration with Chainalysis help? KYT's software will mark suspicious transactions for Robinhood in real time, which will help in the fight against fraudsters and money laundering. And the Reactor interface will make it easier to analyze and verify the payment chain. The company also said that its employees will be certified by Chainalysis.

What are these security measures for? 2021 has been a tough one for Robinhood. In early November, the company had an incident in which more than 5 million customers’ email addresses were stolen. The company's stock price also plummeted dramatically this year, from $70 to $19,95. Robinhood is now looking to strengthen its position and is taking all necessary measures for this.
