While global finance evolves rapidly, the crypto sector is entering a new phase—one driven by high-stakes acquisitions and strategic expansions. Leading this transformation is Robinhood, which has just made a bold move to deepen its crypto footprint worldwide.
The US-based trading platform has completed its $200 million all-cash acquisition of Bitstamp, one of the longest-operating crypto exchanges in the world. With this move, Robinhood gains not only market reach but also key regulatory advantages and institutional infrastructure.
Gateway To Europe And Asia
Announced on June 2, the acquisition adds over 50 licenses and a strong institutional client base to Robinhood’s growing crypto division. Bitstamp serves more than 5,000 institutional clients and 50,000 retail users, with most of its trading activity coming from institutional players.

The acquisition significantly extends Robinhood’s crypto services beyond the US into key markets across Europe, the UK, and Asia. Bitstamp is already integrated with Robinhood’s Legend platform and Smart Exchange Routing system, streamlining cross-border access and performance.
Tokenization: The Next Big Move
CEO Vladimir Tenev said Robinhood’s next strategic goal in crypto is tokenization of real-world assets. He highlighted that making private equities like OpenAI and SpaceX investable via tokenized shares could revolutionize liquidity in secondary markets.
Robinhood also continues to explore further acquisitions, including the recently announced deal with Canadian crypto platform WonderFi for $179 million.
With a forward-looking strategy and strong financials, Robinhood is positioning itself not just as a trading app, but as a global crypto powerhouse.
