Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev said in testimony before the House Financial Services Committee on Thursday that any allegations his trading app tried to help hedge funds by limiting trades on volatile stocks last month is false.

Tenev began his testimony before the committee at around noon ET on Thursday, by saying that Robinhood sought to “democratize investing” and make it easier for retail investors to gain access to stock markets.
