Robinhood adds zero-fee cryptocurrency trading and tracking

in #coinbase6 years ago

Robin hood one of the most popular free stock trading apps is now jumping full force in Cryptocurrency. They are adding a zero fee buy and sell for bitcoin. This is huge news to come out as they will be putting more competition into the ring against Coinbase. As we all know Coinbase charges 1% - 4% on all charges which is a large fee just to purchase each time.

“We’re planning to operate this business on break even basics 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.”

“[Cryptocurrency] puts power that’s historically been held by financial institutions in the hands of the people. I think that lines up directly with Robinhood’s mission to democratize the financial system” Tenev tells me, concluding “We’re an established company and we can handle it”. The confidence to burst into the wild west of crypto could either tank his startup with a massive security fail or greatly boost its traction.

The list of coins you can track on robinhood are Eth, BCASH, Litecoin, Ripple, Ethereum Classic, Zcash, monero, Dash, stellar, Qtum, BitcoinGold, OmiseGo, NEO, Lisk and Dogecoin.

Just based on the quotes alone Robin Hood I am riding with you! Please launch in My City soon, It is great to see all these other companies jumping into Crypto after the likes of (STRIPE) not allowing for Bitcoin Debit cards to be useful anymore. Two thumbs up to Robinhood and I welcome them to Crypto Space!

This is fantastic news! I actually signed up for Robinhood 2 weeks ago for stocks and when you sign up they give you a free stock. I got Sirius (SIRI). Only worth about $5, but still cool nonetheless! I wonder if they'll do any type of similar promotion for Crypto!

...They seem like a very progressive company with the user in mind first and making efforts to grow!

Binance is the best exchange for trading cryptos in my opininion. You can sign up by clicking the link bellow:

Well being that this is for Buying And selling into USD, Binance has nothing to do with this article. You should post stuff with validity instead of trying to spam peoples post with your affiliate link. Go elsewhere with that. To me its never been about the money. Its about getting Crypto to the masses. Move to the side buddy.

I have used Robinhood for 2 years Binanace is not where near as user friendly as Robinhood. Also I believe Binanace charges fees :) Robinhood does not.
