UNCHAINED: Why Robinhood, a TradFi Hub, Is Growing Its Crypto Business Globally Jun 12, 2024

Robinhood has been in the spotlight for its $200 million acquisition of European crypto exchange Bitstamp. The TradFi app’s venture into crypto is paying off: its recent earnings showed that revenue is growing substantially, and the Bitstamp acquisition is just one way the company will grow the pie.

Why Johann was disappointed by the Wells notice Robinhood received from the SEC
Johann’s U.S. crypto regulation wish list and why Robinhood supports the FIT21 bill
Why Robinhood delisted ADA, MATIC, and SOL, and the process for listing or delisting a coin on the platform
Johann’s background in crypto and trajectory at Robinhood Crypto
How Robinhood is uniquely poised to help bring real-world assets and securities onchain, and how it will handle offerings for institutional investors
The impact and importance of the introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs
Why Robinhood decided to offer staking, but only for Solana, not Ethereum
Whether there’s demand for crypto-native features in the Robinhood platform
Robinhood’s collaboration with Arbitrum and whether the company might build their own Layer 2
Johann’s take on the memecoin mania and whether Robinhood could list them
What Johann thinks about the political fight around crypto in the U.S.
