Robinhood has expanded its presence in the UK’s digital-asset market with the launch of crypto trading for eligible customers, giving users access to over 50 tokens through its investment app.
The new service sits alongside products already available to UK users, including futures, options, equities, and stocks and shares ISAs. Crypto transactions are being offered through Bitstamp UK Ltd, the regulated digital-asset business that became part of Robinhood following its acquisition of Bitstamp in 2025.
The launch follows Robinhood’s announcement in July that it planned to introduce cryptocurrency services in the UK as part of a broader push across Europe. At the time, the company also outlined plans involving additional crypto products and Robinhood Chain, its blockchain infrastructure.
Robinhood said customers using the new service will not pay trading commissions, custody fees, or account maintenance costs. The company is positioning the fee structure as a cost-conscious alternative to services offered by some other cryptocurrency platforms operating in the UK.
The available assets include some of the largest and most actively traded cryptocurrencies, such as XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, as well as Hyperliquid.
Robinhood UK’s president Jordan Sinclair noted that interest in digital assets was growing among British investors seeking broader portfolios. He described the launch as another step in Robinhood’s effort to develop a single platform covering a wider range of investment products.
The cryptocurrency rollout also strengthens Robinhood’s existing UK operations in the sector. The company’s purchase of Bitstamp brought an established exchange into its broader crypto division and provided additional infrastructure for its international expansion.
Robinhood is introducing an AI-powered feature called Cortex Digests for Crypto alongside the trading service. The tool is designed to process market information, including developing news, trading data, technical signals, and information generated within Robinhood’s platform.
According to the company, Cortex Digests will present the information in straightforward language and highlight developments that may be influencing individual cryptocurrencies. The feature is intended to help users understand market movements by providing additional context rather than simply displaying price changes.
The company is also opening its blockchain infrastructure to developers in the UK. Developers can build applications using Robinhood Chain, a Layer 2 network developed on Arbitrum and linked to Robinhood’s wider onchain ecosystem.
Robinhood says the network is intended to support applications and services involving digital assets, extending the company’s role beyond cryptocurrency trading and into the infrastructure underpinning blockchain-based financial products.
Robinhood’s debut of crypto trading services in its UK operations is likely to be welcomed by the wider crypto industry, including leading firms like Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA), as it is an additional way through which cryptos can penetrate mainstream finance networks.
