Robinhood has introduced a suite of new cryptocurrency features across the United States and Europe, signaling a significant strengthening of its global digital-asset strategy. These updates reflect a year of substantial growth, expanded market access, and enhanced trading capabilities. The rollout also indicates a strategic shift towards broader tokenization plans as Robinhood prepares for an increasingly active 2026.
The company has boosted its asset coverage, refined tools for active traders, broadened its futures markets, and advanced its plans for an upcoming Layer 2 network. This comprehensive approach positions Robinhood for more robust competition in a market characterized by rising demand for integrated financial services.
New Tools for U.S. Traders
Robinhood has rolled out several new features designed to provide traders with greater control and enhanced clarity. Users can now record cost basis for cryptocurrency deposits, which is crucial for tracking tax lots and evaluating trading performance.
In addition to cost basis tracking, the platform has implemented seven new fee tiers. This offers more flexible pricing, effectively lowering costs for high-volume traders. Robinhood has also extended crypto access to its Legend platform, integrating advanced charting and precision trading tools for both desktop and mobile users.
Furthermore, staking services are now available to all customers in New York, expanding opportunities for users to earn rewards. The U.S. platform now supports over 45 digital assets, including recent additions like BNB, HYPE, HBAR, SUI, and TON. For its Gold subscribers, Robinhood has also launched Cortex Digests, providing near real-time market insights.
Johann Kerbrat, SVP and GM of Robinhood Crypto, expressed optimism about the company's momentum entering 2026, following a period of rapid development. He highlighted the company's commitment to transparency and accessible innovation across its platform.
European Expansion and New Derivatives Access
Robinhood has expanded its presence across the European Union and the European Economic Area, having secured both MiCA and MiFID approvals. European users now benefit from access to more than 65 digital assets, alongside over 1,000 stock tokens that track major U.S. equities and ETFs.
The company has also introduced money market funds, enabling customers to earn yield on their idle cash. The availability of perpetual futures has been extended beyond Bitcoin and Ether to include XRP, SOL, DOGE, and SUI, with leverage options reaching up to 7x.
To facilitate regular investing, automatic investment features for crypto and stock tokens are now available, allowing for flexible recurring purchases starting from €1. A new web trading platform is slated for launch soon, catering to users who prefer a desktop trading experience.
