Robinhood Acquires Bitstamp For $200 Million Expanding Global Crypto Infrastructure

Robinhood, led by CEO Vlad Tenev, recently closed a $200 million all-cash acquisition of Bitstamp, one of the longest-running cryptocurrency exchanges. This deal expands Robinhood’s footprint beyond retail trading by adding over 50 global crypto licenses and a ready institutional client base across Europe, the UK, and Asia. By integrating Bitstamp’s infrastructure for lending, staking, and "crypto as a service," Robinhood aims to become a global crypto powerhouse, leveraging regulatory clarity and growing institutional demand without building from scratch.
