Tanya Denisova, chief operating officer of Robinhood Crypto, is leaving the firm, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
Denisova had been employed by the popular trading platform for over five years, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Neither Robinhood nor Denisova responded to requests for comments.
The departure comes amid Robinhood missing its first-quarter earnings and revenue estimates, mainly due to weaker crypto trading activities. Crypto-related revenue, one of Robinhood’s biggest sources of transaction income, fell 47% year over year to $134 million, down from $252 million. The drop comes as the company works to reduce its reliance on crypto market swings and reposition the business beyond price-cycle volatility.
