Overview

Overview

Robinhood made commission-free trading mainstream with a clean mobile app and a product that keeps expanding. Registered with FINRA and the SEC, the platform is available in around 32 countries including the US, UK, and select EU/EEA markets. Stocks and crypto are available across these regions, with futures available in the US and UK, and event contracts limited to the US.

Robinhood supports around 25 to 30 cryptocurrencies, focused on established assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Crypto transfers require identity verification that can take up to five business days, and withdrawal limits vary based on account history and verification level. Only select ERC-20 tokens can be moved off the platform. Setting up a Robinhood account requires identity verification through document uploads and a linked bank account, with application review taking 1 to 2 weeks and full deposit settlement taking 4 to 5 business days.

Setup takes under 60 seconds. Sign in with Apple, Google, or a passkey. No seed phrases, no chain-switching, and no paperwork. Once signed in, you pick up to 10 interest categories and your feed begins personalizing before you make your first deposit.

Cronos App offers stocks and digital assets in one place. Assets on the platform trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
