Robinhood Starts New York Crypto Staking, Expands EU Futures, Unveils 'Robinhood Chain'

The push signals a shift toward a crypto‑enabled platform guided by a phased, compliance‑first roadmap.

Overview

  • Ethereum and Solana staking is now live for New York customers, with broader U.S. availability pending regulatory clearance.
  • European traders gain perpetual futures on XRP, SOL, DOGE, and SUI with up to 7x leverage, building on earlier BTC and ETH pairs.
  • EU users get 24/7 access to over 1,000 tokenized U.S. equities plus money market funds offered through partners such as J.P. Morgan.
  • Robinhood names its EVM‑compatible Layer‑2 'Robinhood Chain' as it works toward putting assets on‑chain through later phases that include withdrawability.
  • For active U.S. traders, fee tiers expand to seven with rates as low as 0.03% and manual cost‑basis entry starts Dec. 22, as the company cites $232 billion in 2025 crypto volume and $51 billion in assets under custody.
