Isn’t this specifically free market though? Robin Hood chose to not offer the service anymore - they aren’t obliged to offer their service?

Iirc, a factor in them doing this was related to the way their model works and the way that prices were fluctuating - that shit could go wrong and bankrupt them.

Like yeah it’s counter to their own marketing, but doesn’t seem counter to the idea of a “free market.”
