Robinhood shares fell 5.46% as federal prosecutors charged two former engineers with alleged front-running tied to confidential crypto-listing information, raising concerns about governance and internal controls even though the company was not charged. Separately, the U.S. Senate's failure to advance the CLARITY Act kept crypto-regulation uncertainty elevated, a headwind for crypto-linked platforms. Near-term sentiment is pressured as markets assess legal spillover and policy clarity.
