Tech blogger Jane Mastodon Wong pointed out to her 158,700 Twitter followers on December 21 that the charts were taken from TradingView, a trading analysis platform.
The price charts also include a clickable “View Robinhood” link in the lower left corner, indicating that the retail platform has teamed up with Twitter for this integration.
There, users are brought to Robinhood’s ETH price chart, which has an additional link below that says “Sign up to buy Ethereum.” The same links are available for Bitcoin.

#Ethereum on the other hand is hovering around 25,000.
