The balance was likely due to complex options trades, which can settle over concurrent trading days, leaving a temporary balance during the interim.
A Robinhood spokesperson told Business Insider that it will not be sharing any details about the account in question, citing privacy concerns.

Robinhood, one of the first companies to make commission-free stock trading commonplace, is worth more than $8 billion following its latest round of funding.
