Residents of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands couldn’t access Robinhood’s crypto platform due to regulations.
However, with this recent update, users in these regions can now buy, sell, and hold a variety of cryptocurrencies directly through the Robinhood app.
Regulatory Access Expanded for Robinhood Crypto
Crypto trading on Robinhood offers users the opportunity to invest in popular digital assets such as BTC, ETH, DOGE, and many others. So, the expansion into Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands reflects Robinhood’s commitment to making financial services accessible to a broader audience.
By offering crypto trading, Robinhood aims to democratize finance and empower individuals to participate in the growing cryptocurrency market. This move also comes amidst increasing mainstream acceptance and adoption of cryptocurrencies globally.
