Robinhood began rolling out crypto trading to eligible UK customers through Bitstamp, offering access to over 50 digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Hyperliquid directly within its main investing app. The move allows UK users to trade crypto alongside stocks, ISAs, options, and futures on a single platform.
Robinhood launched the public mainnet of Robinhood Chain on July 1, 2026 — an Arbitrum-based Layer 2 blockchain focused on real-world assets, lending, and borrowing. Within 60 days, the chain reached $791 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) , up from just $4 million at genesis. Daily revenue peaked at $4.01 million on September 2, significantly outperforming Solana’s $78K on the same day.
However, ARK Invest research suggests less than 1% of analyzed transactions on Robinhood Chain are clearly linked to Robinhood Wallet users, with estimates rising to about 5% when including unidentified contracts. The company’s goal is to bring its 27.6 million funded customers into onchain finance.
Robinhood’s crypto transaction revenue fell 38% year-over-year to $100 million in Q2 2026, even as total revenue rose 32% to $1.31 billion. Crypto revenue now accounts for just 8% of the company’s total quarterly revenue — the lowest since Q3 2023. Retail crypto trading volume on the app dropped 36% to $18.2 billion, the lowest since Q3 2024.
The self-custody Web3 wallet now supports multiple blockchain networks including Robinhood Chain, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Bitcoin. Users can store over 50 ERC-20 tokens, swap tokens across chains, and maintain full control of their private keys with biometric authentication. The wallet also enables seamless bridging between networks.
