Robinhood has bought Bitstamp, a top crypto exchange which launched in 2011. By taking this action, the company demonstrates its desire to be a major player in the global crypto market.
With offices in Luxembourg, the UK, Slovenia, Singapore and the U.S., Bitstamp is active in many countries. Due to these licenses, Robinhood can enter the EU, UK and Asian crypto markets more smoothly.
Bitstamp has a reputation for being very reliable. Traders like the platform for its stable trade orders, extensive order books and well-built systems. As a result of acquiring Bitstamp, Robinhood will be working with more institutional clients.
Until now, Robinhood focused mostly on U.S. retail customers. This acquisition allows the firm to grow globally and serve more serious crypto players.
Robinhood’s General Manager of Crypto, Johann Kerbrat, said Bitstamp’s long-standing reputation and safety-first approach were key reasons behind the deal.
Kerbrat emphasized that the acquisition wasn’t just about reach. It also brings trusted infrastructure, experience, and a solid brand into Robinhood’s ecosystem. Bitstamp’s services like crypto-as-a-service, lending, and staking will now be part of Robinhood’s offerings.
JB Graftieaux, CEO of Bitstamp, believes the deal will enhance user experience without losing sight of transparency or security. He said Bitstamp’s values of compliance and customer care will remain a priority within Robinhood.
Both companies have assured users that service quality and reliability will stay intact. Bitstamp’s team will now collaborate with the new owners, sharing knowledge and tools.
This acquisition comes as crypto adoption rises again in multiple regions and as Bitcoin rises amid FED Chair Jerome Powell‘s comments on the economic outlook. By acquiring a proven name like Bitstamp, Robinhood is not starting from scratch, it’s stepping into the arena with a tested and respected partner.
In the end, this isn’t just another crypto merger. It signals Robinhood’s serious intent to become a global crypto force, not just a U.S. trading app.
This is especially true as specially as Satoshi’s Bitcoin wealth is projected to surpass tech and finance giants. With their new partners on board, that goal now feels more real.
