Robinhood App has announced that they are bringing crypto to their stock app. So what does this mean for investors, and the market? For one Coinbase now has a new rival, as fiat will be able to travel into the market without having to go through Coinbase. Another plus is they are also going to host more than three currencies. They have already announced they will host Bitcoin and Ethereum in February, with more alt coins after that. An estimated sixteen coins according to multiple sources.

One of the best things about their platform is there will be no fees attached to transactions! Yes, you read that correctly! This will certainly raise some eyebrows and attract some new members. This is what the co-founder had to say...

“We’re planning to operate this business on a break-even basis and we don’t plan to profit from it for the foreseeable future” says Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev. “The value of Robinhood Crypto is in growing our customer base and better serving our existing customers.”

I would love to hear what everyones thoughts are on Robinhood adding crypto. Also has anyone had good or bad experiences on the app? I have had a lot of fun recently adding in spare money when available.
