Robinhood Launches Crypto Trading in the UK with AI Features

Robinhood has officially launched zero-fee cryptocurrency trading in the United Kingdom, broadening its service offerings that now include stocks, shares ISAs, equities, options, and futures. The announcement was made on Monday.

The Robinhood app will enable UK users to trade over 50 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, via Bitstamp, a platform acquired by Robinhood in 2025.

In addition to trading, Robinhood is introducing a generative AI tool called “Robinhood Cortex Digests for Crypto.” This feature is designed to analyze real-time news, market data, technical indicators, and the company's proprietary insights, helping users understand the key factors affecting cryptocurrency price fluctuations.

Robinhood emphasized that its new offering presents a straightforward, cost-effective alternative to existing UK platforms, which often employ complicated pricing structures and wider spreads that can negatively impact customer returns.

The trading service will be available to eligible UK customers starting this week, further enhancing Robinhood's growing cryptocurrency ecosystem. Moreover, UK developers will have the chance to create applications on the Robinhood Chain, a layer 2 blockchain built on the Arbitrum platform.

Jordan Sinclair, President of Robinhood UK, noted that a new generation of UK investors sees digital assets as essential for a diversified portfolio, stating, “We’re making significant progress towards becoming the all-in-one investment platform for the UK.”
