Robinhood director Malka buys 249,000 shares as Ribbit Capital doubles down

Robinhood director Meyer Malka purchased 249,000 Class A shares on May 28, according to a Form 4 filing disclosed June 1.

Malka, the founder of fintech-focused venture firm Ribbit Capital, made the open-market purchase through investment funds affiliated with him, the filing shows. He has served on Robinhood's board since the company's 2021 initial public offering.

The transaction adds to Malka's existing stake in the Menlo Park, California-based brokerage. Ribbit Capital, which counts billionaire investors among its limited partners, has been a longtime backer of Robinhood, having participated in multiple funding rounds before the company went public.

The insider buying stands in contrast to recent stock sales by other Robinhood executives, who have trimmed their positions in recent months. Director-level open-market purchases are widely viewed as a signal of confidence, particularly when they come from a board member with deep ties to the fintech sector.

Robinhood has been expanding its product suite beyond commission-free trading, adding retirement accounts, credit cards and cryptocurrency services. The company reported a net income of $916 million in 2025, its second consecutive profitable year, as interest income and transaction-based revenue grew.

For shareholders, Malka's purchase signals conviction from an insider who has been involved with the company since its early stages. Investors will watch upcoming quarterly results for evidence that Robinhood's product expansion is translating into sustained earnings growth.
