Robinhood Brings Crypto Trading to UK via Bitstamp Partnership

Robinhood has begun rolling out cryptocurrency trading to eligible customers in the United Kingdom through its integration with Bitstamp UK Ltd.

The service offers over 50 digital assets, including major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether, and XRP, within a single interface alongside stocks, shares ISAs, options, and futures.

Robinhood's UK expansion involves key players, including Uniswap on its permissionless Layer 2 network. The company said the service will initially charge zero trading, account maintenance, and custody fees for customers in the UK.

Crypto assets held through Bitstamp UK are not covered by the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service, Robinhood noted.
