On February 18, the House Committee on Financial Services held a hearing on the events surrounding the GameStop trading frenzy that took place in late January.

During the hearing, which lasted more than five hours, Waters' questions were directed at Tenev and Griffin, and included topics such as Robinhood's liquidity, a previous dispute between Robinhood and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the significance of Citadel's role in the market.

At no point did Waters inquire about the possibility of refunds for money lost in the stock market. In Waters opening statement, she said the focus of the hearing would be to determine how the witnesses contributed to"the market volatility surrounding GameStop and other stocks." She said,"Many Americans feel that the [trading] system is stacked against them and, no matter what, Wall Street always wins.

In describing the role of the committee and the purpose of the hearing, Waters said,"Our role as a financial services committee is to ensure fairness in our financial markets and system, robust protections for investors, and accountability of Wall Street."
