Robinhood Markets Inc. ($HOOD) has reportedly gained retail crypto market share from Coinbase Global Inc. ($COIN), according to Mizuho Financial Group Inc. This shift in market dynamics comes at a time when both companies were under consideration for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index. Speculation had been rife about the potential addition of $COIN and $HOOD to the index, with some market observers suggesting that their inclusion could lead to significant stock price movements. However, the S&P 500 committee ultimately chose Apollo Global Management Inc. ($APO) and Workday Inc. ($WDAY) for inclusion, leaving both $COIN and $HOOD out of the index for now. Despite this, $HOOD has seen a positive response in the market, closing at $41 for the first time in over three years, reflecting strong execution by the company throughout the year.
