Stock-trading platform Public.com is about to close a Series D round, according to media reports.
The Robinhood rival’s new funding round would come just months after it closed a $65m Series C round with the support of people like pro-skater Tony Hawk in December.
A person familiar with the matter told TechCrunch that investors have become interested in Public.com as they expect a mass exodus from Robinhood after it faced ferocious criticism on the back of its handling of the GameStop trading chaos.
The chaos saw Robinhood raise a total of $3.4 in a matter of days to get itself out of the mess.
TechCrunch did not know how much Public.com is expected to raise in the upcoming round.
