what's Robinhood EU?
Robinhood EU is the European arm of the Robinhood financial services platform, authorized and regulated by the Bank of Lithuania as a financial brokerage firm and crypto-asset service provider. It enables users in eligible EU jurisdictions to buy, sell, and hold over 50 cryptocurrencies, including major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as emerging tokens, with low-cost trading and 24/7 availability. The platform integrates seamless deposits and withdrawals in euros, emphasizing accessibility for retail investors through a mobile-first app. In addition to crypto, Robinhood EU offers Stock Tokens, which are blockchain-based representations linked to U.S. stocks and ETFs, allowing European users to gain exposure to traditional markets without needing a U.S. account. These tokens are settled onchain, bridging conventional finance with decentralized infrastructure, and start from as little as €1. Features like staking for select cryptos and educational rewards further support users in navigating the onchain economy securely.
