“While women remain underrepresented on Robinhood Crypto compared with our total active customer base, it is notable that 40 percent of Robinhood active women customers are crypto traders. […] These figures are encouraging and prove that crypto can be a powerful tool in decentralizing power in finance.”

Also, the trading platform is planning to enable crypto wallet support, to allow users deposit and withdraw Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
