Former Robinhood Crypto COO Tanya Denisova joins Agora as head of operations

Tanya Denisova, who previously served as the chief operating officer of Robinhood Crypto for over five years, has joined stablecoin issuer Agora as its head of operations. Her appointment comes as Agora aims to scale its AUSD stablecoin business.

Denisova's departure from Robinhood was confirmed on May 22, 2026, following a period of significant decline in the company's crypto revenue. Robinhood reported a 47% year-over-year decrease in crypto revenue for the first quarter of 2026, falling to $134 million from $252 million in the same quarter a year prior. This downturn contributed to an earnings miss, with the company citing reduced digital asset trading activity.

During her tenure at Robinhood, Denisova was instrumental in expanding the platform's crypto offerings, including commission-free trading, digital wallets, and staking options, as well as international market expansion. Robinhood has been diversifying its revenue streams, though it continues to support trading in major cryptocurrencies.
