Robinhood has entered into a share repurchase agreement with the U.S. Marshal Service to buy back stock from Sam Bankman-Fried's Emergent Fidelity Technologies for $605.7 million. The shares were seized and transferred to the U.S. government after Bankman-Fried's FTX and Emergent filed for bankruptcy protection.

Robinhood's shares rose 2% in premarket trading following the announcement.
