Robinhood unveils zero-fee crypto trading in UK
6.7 Investments Robinhood launches zero-fee crypto trading in the UK, offering 50+ digital assets, AI-powered market analysis, and expanding its all-in-one investment platform.
Robinhood has introduced cryptocurrency trading for eligible UK customers, integrating over 50 digital assets—including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Hyperliquid—into its main investing app through Bitstamp, which it acquired for $200 million. This rollout, starting this week, adds crypto trading to Robinhood’s existing UK offerings such as stocks, shares ISAs, equities, options, and futures. The service features zero trading, custody, or account maintenance fees, with a 0.1% foreign exchange fee that increases to 0.3% for certain weekend conversions. All crypto trades are facilitated by FCA-registered Bitstamp UK Ltd, ensuring regulatory compliance. Robinhood has also launched Cortex Digests for Crypto, an AI-powered tool that summarizes market news and analyzes crypto price movements. Following its FCA crypto registration, Robinhood aims to position its app as an all-in-one investment platform for UK users. Additionally, Robinhood Chain, its proprietary blockchain, continues to grow, attracting significant trading volume and developer interest.
