Robinhood is broadening its appeal to advanced crypto traders by introducing lower fees and expanding leveraged futures access across the US and EU. The platform increased its US fee tiers from three to seven, with pricing that can reach 0.03 percent for high-volume customers. The changes are designed to position the company more competitively against exchanges that have long catered to professional traders.
In Europe, Robinhood is adding perpetual futures trading pairs for XRP, SOL, DOGE, and SUI, with eligible users able to access up to 7x leverage. Executives say the enhancements address gaps that previously pushed sophisticated traders to alternative venues offering deeper product suites and derivative tools.
The rollout follows continued growth in Robinhood’s crypto-driven revenue, which surged over 300 percent year-over-year in the third quarter. Executives also noted that recent market volatility has driven users toward platforms perceived as more regulated, boosting demand for the company’s expanded offering.
