  When a margin call occurs in cryptocurrency trading on Robinhood, it means that the trader has borrowed funds to make a trade and the value of their account has fallen below a certain threshold. In this situation, Robinhood will typically issue a margin call to the trader, requesting them to deposit additional funds or sell some of their assets to cover the margin deficit. If the trader fails to meet the margin call, Robinhood may liquidate their positions to recover the borrowed funds. It's important for traders to closely monitor their margin positions and ensure they have sufficient funds to cover potential margin calls.
