The Securities and Exchange Commission is allowing certain early investors in Robinhood Markets Inc. to sell a portion of their holdings.

The move applies to some shares held by investors who pumped additional funds into the company to avert a liquidity crunch after the late January surge in meme stocks such as GameStop Corp. The SEC’s approval took effect at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in New York, in line with a request Robinhood made last week, according to a filing.
