Partner Ridge Barker was quoted in the article "Yellen convenes SEC, CFTC and Fed leaders on Robinhood question", which was published by Cointelegraph. The article discusses the fallout from the recent social media-driven GameStop stock trading frenzy.

But if you weren't going through a broker, if you were going trader to trader, you would avoid some of those systemic issues."
