Robinhood Completes Acquisition of Bitstamp

Robinhood Markets has finalized its acquisition of Bitstamp Ltd, a move that significantly bolsters its global cryptocurrency ambitions. The deal brings Bitstamp’s established exchange infrastructure—including retail and institutional clients across the EU, UK, US, and Asia—under Robinhood’s umbrella.

Bitstamp’s 50+ global licenses and 14-year track record in institutional services—such as crypto-as-a-service, staking, and API connectivity—provide Robinhood with immediate credibility in the professional trading arena. The acquisition marks Robinhood’s first foray into institutional crypto offerings.

The strategic purchase accelerates Robinhood’s international expansion beyond US borders, leveraging Bitstamp’s Luxembourg headquarters and operational hubs in Singapore, Slovenia, and the UK. Bitstamp’s DEEP liquidity pools and robust spot exchange will enhance Robinhood’s retail crypto product suite.
