After a series of bizarre events in the traditional financial world this week involving Reddit, GameStop, and the international stock markets, CoinMarketCap has added a data line for 'WallStreetBets', adding a disclaimer: “Please note that this is a joke and no such asset exists. If you see similarly-named projects, please perform the requisite due diligence.”
Indeed, the bizarre events of this week have raised a number of important questions for regulators and trading platforms alike. For example, Robinhood eventually decided to halt trading and buying of certain stocks (if you have not heard about this already, we will get into that a bit later.)
The bizarre events of this week appear to have been a positive thing for crypto markets (at least, in the short term): crypto markets have added $140 billion to the sector’s total market cap overnight, once again surpassing the $1 trillion mark.
Beyond that, as CoinMarketCap’s joke seems to indicate, cryptocurrency investors and platforms may be seeing a bit of hypocrisy when it comes to the ways that crypto markets are perceived compared to traditional markets.
Commission-free online brokerage Robinhood, which has become a favorite amongst millennial traders since its launch in 2013, was forced to shut down trading on a number of stocks. The stocks that Robinhood targeted included GameStop and AMC: so-called 'meme stocks' that have been embraced by a rogue community of Reddit traders (seriously).
What happened? Traders in Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets group and a similar Discord group made the decision to pump large amounts of money into GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME). GameStop, which has been struggling for a number of years, was the target of many short-sellers on Wall Street. Realizing this, traders in the r/WallStreetBets group decided to squeeze the institutional giants that had bet that GameStop would fall further.
If you think that a group of Reddit traders could not effect much change on GameStop stock price, you would be wrong. What seems to be a huge number of the group’s two million users jumped onto the scheme, continuing to buy the stock, and pushing its price increasingly higher over the course of a few days, the price of Gamestop stock skyrocketed up to 1,700%. At press time, the price was up 1162.42% over seven days (thanks, CoinMarketCap.)
Lovely to have all these new followers .. can we just check that you know that you’re following The World Wide Robin Hood Society in Nottingham and not the Robin Hood App .. if so .. a big welcome from Sherwood 🙌
The higher the price rose, the more that the investors who had shorted the price had to buy in order to cover their losses. Wired reported that the resulting effect “turned a snowball into an avalanche,” which evidence that some institutional traders may have also taken sides with the Reddit traders.
But eventually, Robinhood pulled the plug (a course of action that some memesters have described as ironic, coming from a platform that is named after a folk hero who steals from the rich to give to the poor.)
The company shut down buying and trading on these 'meme stocks', the company still allowed its users to sell the stocks, most of which still rank as some of the most widely held on the platform. However, as Wired reported, “otherwise? No dice.” Robinhood has since sent a message to its users explaining that the move was temporary: "we temporarily limited buying for certain securities this morning," the message said. The company also posted a blog post about the week's events.
Robinhood's email message to customers (excerpted).
"Starting tomorrow, we plan to allow limited buys of these securities. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and may make adjustments as needed."
While the move was drastic, a number of legal experts say that Robinhood’s fast and hard decisions were well within the company’s legal jurisdiction. In fact, some analysts have even said that it could be that traders in the r/WallStreetBets group could be the target of legal investigations into market manipulation.
Reddit Traders "Are Making No Effort to Conceal Their Apparent Intent to Manipulate the Price of the Stock"
Indeed, the events that surrounded the GameStop stock pump have had a number of implications for other trading platforms as well as the regulators that oversee them.
Daniel Hawke, a former Chief of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s market abuse unit and current Partner at Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, told the Wall Street Journal that: “if they are all egging each other on using a social media platform, they are effectively engaged in a crowdsourced pump-and-dump scheme.”
They “are making no effort to conceal their apparent intent to manipulate the price of the stock,” he explained.
Additionally, on Wednesday, Nasdaq Chief Executive, Adena Friedman told CNBC that the Nasdaq will make the decision to halt trading if they see correlations between social media chatter and an astronomical rise in a stock's price.
This is unacceptable.
We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.
As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary. https://t.co/4Qyrolgzyt
However, at the same time, some lawmakers are questioning whether or not trading platforms have the right to bar retail traders from taking specific actions on their exchanges at will: Representative Alexandria Occasio-Cortez (D-NY) wrote on Twitter that Robinhood’s actions were “unacceptable,” a sentiment that Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) tweeted that he “fully agree[d]” with.
“We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary.”
The sentiment expressed by Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and espoused by Senator Cruz seems to be the opinion of the r/WallStreetBets traders who participated in events. A Twitter account belonging to the self-proclaimed 'Wall Street Bets (WSB) Chairman' (who, by the way, claims to be 'NOT ASSOCIATED WITH r/WSB', recently tweeted that “the government official who stands up for the people and investigates Robinhood will have our support.” Some of Robinhood's users have already filed a lawsuit against the company after the trading ban.
The government official who stands up for the people and investigates Robinhood will have our support.
However, while trading platforms and regulators are totally up in arms about the events that have surrounded GameStop’s trip to the moon this week, the conversation among retail traders has also been affected. Perhaps frustrated by the institutional reaction to the GameStop gambit, retail investors seem to have turned their attention away from retail markets and toward…(drumroll please)...
“With All This Going on, Does Anyone Want to Try to Kick off a Dogecoin Rally??????"
….cryptocurrency. And, specifically, DogeCoin (DOGE), a cryptocurrency that was created as a joke in 2013.
Indeed, referring to the New York Post: “even a literal joke cryptocurrency is surging thanks to the new power of retail investors on internet message boards.” According to the post, one Reddit user wrote that “with all this going on does anyone want to try to kick off a Dogecoin Rally?????? It’s really cheap and wouldn’t be that hard to do.”
Wall St will be shocked to find that there is no shutdown switch for crypto.
And, seemingly taking the bait, investors made it happen. As of press time, the price of DogeCoin was up more than 320 percent in the last 24 hours, rising from $0.011 to $0.046, at one point, the price was as high as $0.077.
Sorry I missed your call, I was busy exposing Wall Street and watching Dogecoin moon.
But, traders did not just pour their cash into DogeCoin. Forbes reported yesterday that “as a whole, the cryptocurrency market, today add[ed] $100 billion in value to again come within touching distance of $1 trillion.” Today, the $1 trillion market cap milestone is in the rear-view mirror: at press time, crypto’s total market cap was $1.07 trillion, having added a total of roughly $140 billion overnight.
“Robinhood Won't Let Users Buy $GME $AMC or $NOK, but They'll Let Them Buy Dogecoin."
It is also important to note that many Dogecoin buyers did not have to switch platforms to buy their DOGE: as Frank Chapparo, Director of News at The Block pointed out on Twitter: “Robinhood won't let users buy $GME $AMC or $NOK, but they'll let them buy Dogecoin. Let that sink in for a second.”
“Obviously this means long Doge,” he added.
Robinhood won't let users buy $GME$AMC or $NOK, but they'll let them buy Dogecoin. Let that sink in for a second.
This seems to be the attitude that many Reddit traders are taking. While DogeCoin is down from its 24-hour peak, the hype around DOGE seems to be far from over. Of course, because the DogeCoin rally seems to be born almost completely from hype, DOGE is likely not a 'safe' bet for any investor.
However, undaunted it may be, some DogeCoin investors have their eyes on the skies. One user in the r/DogeCoin subreddit submitted a post entitled “32K - Wall Street Bets Taught Us That IF WE TRUST EACH OTHER AND ACT AS PARTNERS, WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS!!” At press time, the post had over 7,000 upvotes.
The user, operating under the moniker u/stalwart, wrote that: “[...] I think it's important that we trust each other. We are partners. I'm not giving financial advice. I'm telling it like it is. We are ‘MEMBERS’...LET'S STAND TOGETHER. We can do this. We can make history. This week has been like nothing anybody has ever seen. But, we have power here.”
At press time, the price of DOGE appeared to be correcting from the short-term pump that pushed the price to new all-time highs. While DOGE was still up roughly 250% in 24 hours, the price had decreased roughly 50% from its 24-hour high and appeared to be continuing along its way down.
Crypto Markets See Green across the Board
DogeCoin is not the only asset that seems to have been boosted by this week’s bizarre market events. At press time, Bitcoin showed a strong rebound from its dip to $30K with price levels around $36,000. Ethereum (ETH) was sitting comfortably at $1,360; all but two of the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies by marketcap showed net positive movement over the past 24 hours.
In any case, this tale is far from over. Check back with Finance Magnates to see what happens next.
Finance Magnates reached out to CoinMarketCap to discuss more about the intentions behind its 'joke' listing of WallStreetBets, but did not hear back before press time. Comments will be added as they are received. None of the material contained in this article constitutes investment advice.

In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
