also I read a bit of due diligence on how it might not have actually been Robinhood's fault entirely last Thursday.

Apparently, DTCC, the Clearing House in question, can arbitrarily raise the % amount of collateral required before putting through a stock transaction.

This sounds like it's an actually very simple regulatory fix. Some law needs to be signed where a clearing house isn't allowed to raise its collateral requirements without a 30-day notice.

This tracks because ALL of the smaller brokers had to limit purchases while Fidelity was able to shrug off the cost.
