Robinhood now allows its users to engage in staking of the Solana SOL and Ethereum ETH crypto assets, according to a Monday announcement. Robinhood users can participate in blockchain ecosystems and access competitive reward rates by contributing to network operations. Crypto staking is also available to all Robinhood customers in the EU and EEA.
“Our latest offerings lay the groundwork for crypto to become the backbone of the global financial system,” said Robinhood Chairman and CEO Vlad Tenev. “Crypto was built by engineers for engineers, and has not been accessible to most people,” added Johann Kerbrat, GM and SVP of Robinhood Crypto. “We’re onboarding the world to crypto by making it as easy to use as possible—with the goal of bringing powerful tools into one intuitive platform.”
It is nearly impossible to argue that 2025 has been a monumental year for the digital asset sector. Although it may not be reflected in prices, the regulatory headway and mainstream push have been unrivaled. Moreover, that is set to continue with one of the most prominent financial tech companies in the world. Robinhood made plenty of announcements opening the door for crypto integration on its platform, not just ETH and SOL staking:
Robinhood’s “To Catch a Token” Even Puts Crypto in the Spotlight
Instant Boost on Crypto Deposits: For a limited time, US and EU investors can transfer crypto into Robinhood and earn a 1% deposit boost, with the chance to double it to 2% if total deposits hit the $500M goal.
Crypto Credit Card Rewards: The Robinhood Gold Credit Card gives US customers cash back on purchases across all categories. Coming this fall, customers can use those rewards to purchase crypto automatically.
Cortex for Crypto: Cortex, an AI-powered investing assistant in the US, will be available later this year. Robinhood Gold members can see curated insights, trends, and event-driven market analysis right inside each token’s detail page. It’s designed to help customers quickly understand price movement and market shifts in real time.
Smart Exchange Routing: Smart exchange routing evaluates multiple partner exchanges and routes your order to get the best available price across them. Soon, all orders placed through Smart Exchange Routing will qualify for fee tiers, meaning the more you trade, the lower your rate, based on your trailing 30-day trading volume. API support is coming soon.
Tax Lots: US customers can also now view and sell specific tax lots for crypto trades, allowing users to strategically choose which lots to sell.
Advanced Charts: Advanced charts from Robinhood Legend are also coming to mobile, starting with equities and expanding to crypto in August.

Robinhood and Crypto in the EU
In addition, Robinhood announced it would list US stock and ETF tokens in the EU, giving eligible customers exposure to US equities with Robinhood Stock Tokens. These features feature zero commissions or added spreads from Robinhood (other fees may apply), dividend support, and 24/5 access. Now, European customers will have access to 200+ US stocks and ETF tokens.
Furthermore, Robinhood is introducing crypto perpetual futures in the EU, offering eligible customers access to a new class of derivatives with continuous exposure and up to 3x leverage. Perpetuals will be 100% rolled out to eligible customers by the end of the summer, according to the firm’s announcement. “This launch will mark an important step in serving active traders across the globe with advanced trading tools in an intuitive platform.”
