Robinhood Enters UK Crypto Market via Bitstamp, Launches Cortex Digests AI Tool

Robinhood has opened crypto trading to UK investors through Bitstamp UK, according to an official announcement. The service covers more than 50 digital assets, including bitcoin, ether, XRP and Hyperliquid. Trades carry no commission; account management and custody fees are also waived. The new offering is integrated into the existing Robinhood app, alongside stocks and shares ISA, options and futures.

Separately, Robinhood Chain has generated more than $18 billion in DEX trading volume since its global launch on July 1, with total value locked above $840 million. UK developers can build on the Layer 2 network. Crypto services are provided through Bitstamp UK and are not protected by the FSCS or FOS. Trading involves the risk of losing principal.
