The prominent US brokerage and trading company Robinhood ramps up international expansion moves as it launches its European crypto trading services.
This move brings Robinhood into the broader international market with more regulatory clarity amid the stiff atmosphere in the United States.
Through its expansion, Robinhood provides its European clients opportunities to trade over 25 crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Robinhood Deepens Its Presence In Europe With Crypto Trading ServicesRobinhood has taken a significant step to introduce its crypto trading services in Europe, according to a December 7 blog post.

This is crucial for investors, as its stock now provides around 5% yields on deposits.
Besides that offer, market participants and investors now have the leverage to transact over 25 different crypto assets. This benefit is a plus to the prospective offer of a zero commission charge to those who use its trading services.
This ascent in its offering has also drawn reactions from Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood Crypto's general manager, who expressed his faith in the future of virtual currencies.
According to him, these assets will be the driving force in the financial sector. He also pointed to the unwavering commitment of his team to ensuring that participants' trading activity went on safely.
Besides that, he believes that a friendly regulatory approach will be of benefit to Europe.
The EU has developed one of the world's most comprehensive policies for crypto asset regulation, which is why we chose the region to anchor Robinhood Crypto's international expansion plans,
