Robinhood Introduces Crypto Transfers in Europe
Robinhood has rolled out a much-anticipated feature for its European users, allowing crypto transfers through its app.
European customers can now deposit and withdraw over 20 cryptocurrencies, including popular tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and USD Coin, giving them greater flexibility over their digital assets. To celebrate the launch, Robinhood is offering a 1% bonus on crypto deposits.
Johann Kerbrat, VP and GM of Robinhood Crypto, emphasized that the new feature simplifies self-custody and access to decentralized finance (DeFi) for users, while maintaining the safety and low-cost experience the platform is known for.

He also pointed to the EU’s favorable regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, contrasting it with the more enforcement-driven approach in the U.S.
