- Robinhood Crypto has announced new updates.
- The updates will be exclusive to the company’s customers in Europe.
- The updates come on the heels of a Wells Notice from the U.S. SEC.
Robinhood Crypto has lined up a series of new in-app features tailored for its European customers, including crypto staking functionality.
The company’s latest initiative can be seen as a move to shift focus to Europe as the U.S. market is filled with uncertainty. It comes after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Robinhood Crypto with a Wells Notice on May 4, signaling an upcoming enforcement action.
Robinhood Crypto Shifts Focus to Europe
In a press release dated May 15, Robinhood Crypto announced its new staking, localized apps, and crypto reward features. The updates aim to increase accessibility, improve user experience, and reinforce the company’s “commitment to Europe-based crypto traders.”
“Starting today, we’re introducing our first-ever crypto-staking product, which will be available exclusively to our customers in Europe. Robinhood Crypto customers can now stake their Solana (SOL) holdings directly through the app, allowing them to earn rewards with the flexibility to unstake at any time,” the statement read.
To inspire “confidence and comfort” among its customers when trading and researching cryptocurrencies, the company said it would launch local language versions of the Robinhood Crypto app “in the coming weeks,” starting with users in Italy, Poland, and Lithuania.
Additionally, Robinhood Crypto has rolled out a suite of “Learn & Earn” modules focused on BTC, AVAX, and USDC. The modules will foster crypto education while allowing customers to earn rewards “along the way.”
Per the statement, the learning modules will soon be available in multiple languages, including Polish, Italian, and Lithuanian.
