Robinhood launched its crypto trading service, Robinhood Crypto, in the EU in December of last year. The service allowed users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies but not to transfer them away from the platform, either to another third-party platform or to a self-custody wallet.
On the Robinhood crypto platform, users can buy, sell and hold Aave (AAVE), Cardano (ADA), Arbitrum (ARB), Cosmos (ATOM), Avalanche (AVAX), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bonk (BONK), Bitcoin (BTC), Compound (COMP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Polkadot (DOT), EOS (EOS), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Ethereum (ETH), Fantom (FTM), The Graph (GRT), Immutable (IMX), Jupiter (JUP), Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC), Decentraland (MANA)Polygon (MATIC), Near (NEAR), Optimism (OP), Pepe (PEPE), Render (RENDER), Sandbox (SAND), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Solana (SOL), Celestia (TIA), Toncoin (TON), Uniswap (UNI), USDC (USDC), Dogwifhat (WIF), Stellar Lumens (XLM), Wormhole (W), Tezos (XTZ), XRP (XRP), zkSync (ZK) and LayerZero (ZRO).
At the beginning of October, Robinhood announced a change as it would begin allowing its European customers the ability to transfer cryptocurrency into and out of its app. The move basically allows Robinhood's European users to "self-custody" their assets.
