据报道，加密货币衍生品交易所 FTX 正在探索收购 Robinhood Markets，这是一款流行的交易应用程序，为数百万交易者介绍了比特币 (BTC)、以太坊 (ETH) 和狗狗币 (DOGE)。
彭博周一援引知情人士的话报道称，FTX 正在就是否收购 Robinhood 进行内部审议。尽管尚未决定进行收购，但据说 FTX 正在认真对待此事。彭博社的联系人澄清说，FTX 尚未向 Robinhood 提出收购提议，它仍可能决定不进行交易。
FTX首席执行官Sam Bankman-Fried在彭博社的后续声明中澄清，他的公司对与Robinhood的潜在合作感到兴奋，但并没有积极的合并对话，这与之前的报道一致:
“我们对 Robinhood 的商业前景以及我们可以与他们合作的潜在方式感到兴奋 [...] 话虽如此，我们与 Robinhood 之间没有积极的并购对话。”
这不是 FTX 或 Bankman-Fried 第一次与 Robinhood 联系在一起。 5 月，据披露，FTX首席执行官以6.5亿美元的价格收购了这家折扣经纪公司7.6%的股份。当时，Bankman-Fried 表示，此次收购反映了他认为 Robinhood 是一项“有吸引力的投资”，但他无意改变或影响对该公司的控制权。
尽管加密货币冬天开始了，但 FTX 并没有显示出放缓扩张的迹象。FTX最近向比特币借贷机构 BlockFi 提供了 2.5 亿美元的救助提议；本月早些时候，FTX 签署了一项协议，以未公开的金额收购加拿大加密货币平台 Bitvo。
在加密货币交易业务大规模裁员的情况下，FTX 本月早些时候证实不会裁员。Bankman-Fried 于 6 月 6 日在推特上表示，他的交易所计划在可预见的未来“保持增长”。
至于 Robinhood，自 2021 年 7 月在纳斯达克证券交易所上市以来，这家折扣经纪平台的价值已缩水约四分之三。该公司股价周一上涨 13%，但仍较首次公开募股下跌 75% 以上.
自以每股 38 美元的价格首次亮相以来，Robinhood 的股价在过去一年中一直在下跌。该股票的市值为76亿美元。来源：TradingView
2022 年第一季度，Robinhood 的净收入同比下降 43% 至 2.99 亿美元。同期与加密货币相关的收入下降了 39% 至 5400 万美元。
