Robinhood Drops $200M on Bitstamp—Here’s What Their Global Crypto Grab Means for Your Portfolio

Robinhood just bulldozed its way into Europe and Asia with a nine-figure Bitstamp buy. The fintech ’disruptor’—now playing catch-up in crypto—wants a slice of the institutional pie. Too bad they’re about five years late to the party.

Why it matters: The deal gives them licenses in 50+ countries overnight. Suddenly, that ’amateur hour’ trading app is gunning for Coinbase’s lunch.

Watchlist fodder: While RH execs high-five over their ’strategic acquisition,’ smart money’s already rotating into protocols that actually innovate. Hint: Look beyond the CEX dinosaurs.

JB Graftieaux, CEO of Bitstamp, commented on the deal as well. He said, “Bringing Bitstamp’s platform and expertise into Robinhood’s ecosystem will give users an enhanced trading experience with a continuing commitment to compliance, security, and customer-centricity.”

Bitstamp Has Customer Base Across EU, UK, US, Asia

Bitstamp – the world’s oldest crypto exchange – offers its robust product offering that can significantly enhance Robinhood’s crypto product for customers across the globe.

Furthermore, Robinhood assured that customers can expect the same level of service, security and reliability “they’ve come to expect from both companies.”

“Bitstamp’s highly trusted and long standing global exchange has shown resilience through market cycles,” added Kerbrat. “By seamlessly coupling customer experience with safety across geographies, the Bitstamp team has established one of the strongest reputations across retail and institutional crypto investors.”

“As the world’s longest-running cryptocurrency exchange, Bitstamp is known as one of the most-trusted and transparent crypto platforms worldwide,” added Graftieaux.

After a multi-month presale that secured an impressive $12.5m in funding, MIND of Pepe is finally launching in less than six hours.

Investors have until 2 pm UTC today (June 3) to gain exposure to one of the most exciting AI Agent projects.

The official MIND X account said that although the presale is over, investors can still secure the MIND token at the initial listing price. This means its the last chance to jump in before the open market decides just how high MIND will go.

Claiming MIND tokens purchased during presale will take place today at 2pm UTC. It is the same time that MIND goes live on the Uniswap DEX. There are also rumors of a possible CEX listing for MIND. This has created murmurings within the community that it will be the next Binance listing.

To secure MIND tokens at the initial listing price before the token lists on exchanges later today, head to the MIND of Pepe website, connect your wallet (Best Wallet is recommended), and purchase using ETH.

You can download Best Wallet on Google Play or the Apple App Store.
