📰 The HOOD Herald: Reclaiming the Robinhood Legacy

April 27, 2025

🔙 Flashback: The 2021 Robinhood Controversy

In January 2021, the stock trading platform Robinhood faced intense scrutiny after it restricted purchases of certain “meme stocks,” notably GameStop (GME), during a period of unprecedented market volatility. This move, attributed to the company’s clearinghouse collateral requirements, sparked widespread backlash, leading to class-action lawsuits and a massive loss of trust among retail investors.

🪙 Enter HOOD: A Meme Coin with a Mission

Fast forward to today, and HOOD — the meme coin — has emerged, built on Solana, carrying the spirit of retail rebellion. More than just a token, HOOD represents a movement to reclaim the narrative stolen in 2021.

Key features of HOOD include:

• Community Governance: Active engagement on Twitter, Telegram, and Reddit.
• Fair Tokenomics: Renounced ownership, locked liquidity, and zero transaction tax.
• Deflationary Mechanics: Regular token burns to steadily decrease supply.
