Robinhood Expands Crypto Offerings with Futures, Staking, and Tokenized Stocks
Robinhood has announced several expansions to its cryptocurrency offerings as of December 2025. Starting December 9, ETH and SOL staking becomes available in New York, with nationwide access pending regulatory approval. In Europe, the platform has introduced perpetual futures with up to 7x leverage on tokens including XRP, Dogecoin, and SUI, extending beyond its prior offerings of BTC and ETH.
European users also gain access to tokenized stocks representing over 1,000 U.S. equities and money market funds, tradable 24/7 through partnerships with firms such as J.P. Morgan. The European app is currently mobile-only, with a web version planned for release. Higher leverage settings are available but require customer opt-in, with the lowest leverage setting set as default.
Additionally, Robinhood's layer-2 scaling network has been officially named Robinhood Chain. This EVM-compatible network aims to facilitate on-chain stock features, enhancing the platform's crypto capabilities.
Crypto continues to be a significant growth driver for Robinhood, with $232 billion in trading volume this year and $51 billion in assets under custody as of Q3 2025. The firm is also pursuing entry into the Indonesian market through two licensed acquisitions in the crypto and brokerage sectors, though specific details have not been disclosed.
Other updates include new fee tiers targeted at high-volume U.S. traders, improvements to API functionalities, and plans to introduce cost-basis tax reporting to customers.
