> Democratize finance for all

Robinhood is a financial services company that lets users trade stocks, ETFs, options, and cryptocurrencies through a mobile app and web platform. It offers no account minimums and tools for both new and active investors.

Robinhood is a financial services company that gives retail investors access to stocks, ETFs, options, futures, and cryptocurrencies through its mobile app and web platform. Users can invest with no account minimums, earn rewards through retirement accounts with matching contributions, and access advanced trading tools designed for active traders. The platform is built to make financial markets accessible to a broad range of investors rather than only those with significant wealth.

Beyond brokerage services, Robinhood offers crypto focused products including Robinhood Crypto for trading digital assets, the self custody Robinhood Wallet, and Robinhood Connect, which provides an on ramp and off ramp between traditional currency and crypto. These products extend the company's offering from traditional securities into digital asset ownership and transfer, and are complemented by an acquired cryptocurrency exchange serving retail and institutional customers.

Robinhood has also expanded into onchain infrastructure through Robinhood Chain, a permissionless layer two network that supports tokenized real world assets. Its combined offerings are used by retail investors seeking traditional and crypto exposure, active traders using advanced order tools, and crypto users transacting onchain through its wallet and connect products.
