Robinhood has expanded its UK investment platform by adding crypto trading for eligible customers this week. The launch gives UK investors access to more than 50 digital assets within the Robinhood app. The offering includes major tokens such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Hyperliquid.
Customers can also manage stocks, shares ISAs, equities, options, and futures through the same platform. Consequently, Robinhood aims to simplify access to multiple investment products from one account.
Zero-Fee Crypto Trading Arrives
Robinhood will charge no trading, account maintenance, or custody fees for its crypto service. However, customers should still consider other costs, including potential spreads and market price movements. Additionally, Robinhood will process crypto trades through Bitstamp UK Ltd.
The company also plans to provide AI-powered Cortex Digests for crypto investors. The feature combines market data, news, technical indicators, and company insights. Hence, users can better understand factors influencing individual token prices.
Crypto Ecosystem Gains Momentum
Moreover, Robinhood continues expanding its blockchain ecosystem in the UK. Developers can build applications on Robinhood Chain, which operates on Arbitrum technology.
Since its July 1 global launch, the network has processed over $18 billion in DEX volume. It has also exceeded $840 million in total value locked.
Besides, Robinhood offers educational materials and 24/7 in-app support. Significantly, the launch could intensify competition among UK platforms targeting growing retail crypto demand.
