  Press Release: Rep. Loudermilk on GameStop Trading Issue: More Regulations are Not the Answer
 
  Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga) had the following exchange Thursday with the witnesses at the House Financial Services Committee hearing entitled, “Game Stopped? Who Wins and Loses When Short Sellers, Social Media, and Retail Investors Collide.”

Rep Loudermilk: “Mr. Tenev, can you remind us why Robinhood temporarily paused trading of GameStop and other stocks?”

Mr. Tenev: “Of course, thank you, Congressman. Robinhood paused trading temporarily, or I should say paused buying of about thirteen securities, on Thursday so that we could meet our regulatory deposit and collateral requirements.”

Rep. Loudermilk: “So what you’re saying is, you paused because you had to comply with regulations. Is that true?"

Mr. Tenev: “Correct.”
