Robinhood launches crypto trading in EU
Online trading company Robinhood is launching the Robinhood Crypto app to all eligible customers in the European Union (EU).
“We believe crypto is the financial framework for tomorrow and that it plays a significant role in our mission to democratize finance for all,” said Johann Kerbrat, GM of Robinhood Crypto. “For this reason, we’re thrilled to expand crypto trading to customers throughout the EU, enabling them to buy and sell their favorite tokens safely and securely. The EU has developed one of the world’s most comprehensive policies for crypto asset regulation, which is why we chose the region to anchor Robinhood Crypto’s international expansion plans.”
Robinhood Crypto is a trading platform where users own their own crypto. Users can buy and sell over 25 cryptocurrencies, track real-time prices, and access charts to help fine-tune their trading strategy. They can also browse and learn about different digital assets, create watchlists, and monitor the latest news directly in the app.
Support for additional tokens, crypto transfers, crypto staking, crypto learning rewards, and more are all expected to launch in 2024.
Robinhood Crypto is available beginning today to all eligible iOS and Android customers throughout the EU. To sign-up for Robinhood Crypto, users must have EU citizenship and be 18+ years of age.
