The FTX derivatives exchange has added futures contracts for the future value of Robinhood shares to the listing. The tool under the HOOD ticker allows traders to speculate on the exchange rate of securities before their public offering on the stock exchange (IPO)
Robinhood has filed an application for an initial public offering on Form S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). https://blog.robinhood.com/news/2021/3/23/robinhood-markets-inc-confidentially-submits-draft-registration-statement
According to Bloomberg sources, the placement may take place in the second quarter after the completion of the SEC review and if there are favorable market conditions. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-23/robinhood-is-said-to-have-filed-confidentially-for-u-s-ipo?sref=vuYGislZ

"The company said in a statement Tuesday that it had submitted its filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg. Robinhood could go public as soon as late in the second quarter but the timing could change, said a person familiar with the matter who asked to not be identified because it wasn’t public"
The popular US based stock trading app, Robinhood, is planning to launch a fee-free crypto trading platform in February of this year for a select few states in the US and will expand to other states over time. I believe they are only offering BTC and ETH at this time. This could be a real game changer in the crypto world for people in the US once Robinhood gets this going.
Here is a link to get on the waitlist https://crypto.robinhood.com/
Consider signing up through my referral (dm me) or someone else you know so that you can get a free share of a stock worth $5 to $190
If not using a referral link for free stock then the main website homepage is here https://www.robinhood.com/
*Reminder* This is US only. You must be a US citizen to create an account with Robinhood. Also as a side note this is NOT anything like a crypto exchange in the traditional sense many of you are used to. This is a US based stock trading brokerage that is expanding into the crypto world after being established for 5 years as a company in the United States. They are worth 1.3 billion dollars here in the US and have millions of users. If you were to use any type of crypto comparison to them the only ones that even come close are Coinbase and Gemini.

Almost all apps saying that they are safe and secure but in the end or in reality is not. This is most often happened here
in crypto space. Honestly, I would rather to use the platform were it was already proven and tested in the market already.
Unlike Robinhood and Cobinhood. But this is just a thought for me anyway.
For whose cash will the trade exist? Who will pay for the hardware, workers. It additionally requires significant expenses for security and work force. In all probability it's simply a promoting move to draw in new clients. In any case, inevitably an expense will be presented and the trade will transform into the standard one.
The Robinhood platform plans to privately file an initial public offering (IPO) in March. Bloomberg reports
Last week the company discussed the possibility of an initial public offering in the coming weeks. Until the final decision is made, the exact timing of the IPO is unknown.

But if you can't move the crypto you've bought it's a useless platform, just like every CFD out there. Did I read it wrong? I hope so, cause that would be a huge missed occasion. And the market needs new users.
Looks like Jay Z has put some money into Robinhood (as an investor in the start up, not into crypto):

The reason why Jay Z is still among the richest rappers in the world is that he keeps making smart investments that help his fortune grow. His latest investment into an app called Robinhood seems to be yet another good choice that will no doubt pay off in the future. This announcement came through his start-up company called “Arrive” that Jay Z founded about a year ago.
you can still monitor and track market data for all 16 cryptocurrencies in the Robinhood app. You'll also have access to a new feed, which gives users a way to talk about cryptocurrency, news and market swings in real time with other folks on the system. Robinhood Feed is only available to a limited number of people, however, so you'll need to update the app to see if you're one of them.
with plans to expand to many more states later.

This might not be as great news as every one thinks:

This is just a random person's opinion on the topic, but it's always good to hear different opinions from your own. I decided to read through the article and basically the guy concluded that Robinhood will likely the the BEST place to buy crypto from in the near future. His article just touched on some points for why it could hurt rookie traders that just use market orders and he questioned if they would be able to handle the influx of new users for crypto. He did fail to mention that it is only rolling out in 5 states to begin with so there wont be nearly as high of a number of signups as it says on the waitlist page until it is rolled out to more states in the US.
It seems our conclusions are quite different. There is lot of information but maybe not explained very well.
For one, Robinhood's apparent use of the word "market order" is confusing even for a non-rookie. I personally have never seen people saying market orders but actually it was a limit order. What are other exchanges/markets which does this?
Second, Robinhood not having it's own exchange market is worrying because they have to rely on latency between their platform and the connecting exchanges. So only limit orders which are far out/in the money will work well. If the market is moving too fast this is a recipe for disaster.
On the same topic, if the exchanges are down, something which happens quite frequently, Robinhood is going to be out of commission too. So the reliability is also questionable.
"I dare say it might be even the best platform for cryptocurrency, provided trade execution between Robinhood and cryptocurrency exchange is good."
Direct quote from the article. I understand the concerns he brings up but we can't be negative about it before the crypto market even opens. The only legitimate concern is Robinhood not having its own exchange market. Who will they use? How will they respond when these exchanges are down? Those are some very important questions that Robinhood will need to answer.
For your "market order" question, a market order is when you just set a "buy" at whatever the current price of the crypto is. This could potentially be a disaster to newer investors that don't realize crypto can swing 5-10% in seconds so they could get a very bad fill on their market order. However, no one should ever use a market order in any market. You should always set a limit order to get filled at the price you want to get filled at and not what the current market rate gives you.

This news does sound impressive. Are there really over 1,000,000 people waiting in the que?
DO you actually own your cryptos if you use this app?

Yes, the waitlist stopped counting at 1 million signups.
Also yes, this will basically be a US only version of Coinbase without any fees to buy and sell crypto. In the beginning only ETH and BTC will be available to buy and sell though

This is crazy the number of people lining up to get registered on this exchange, good to have more exchanges open their arms to new users but the most important thing is to protect investors fund which most of them seems not to know how to do

Great news. I hope this will positively affect the price of bitcoin. This addition to this platform will make bitcoin even more popular. And this is very good, because now bitcoin needs fresh money injections.
can't wait for this to be rolled out in the UK, definitely need this as opposed to coinbase and their hefty fees!
I always wondered how does their commission free stock trading work, do they just charge a higher spread?
They sell order flow to exchanges, invest dormant money, and offer premium services like Robinhood Gold that give you faster settlement/deposit times as well as higher margin.
It isn't always possible to tell if you're getting a perfect fill on market orders due to the spreads changing so rapidly and Robinhood not offering live quotes. If I ever trade on Robinhood, I always have another account pulled up with a different broker where I can view live quotes. I also never use market orders

Also interested.
Will definitely be looking at how this progresses.
Guys,
Is it a coincidence that this is called Robinhood?
COBINHOOD is already doing all that you described above. Their COB token also gives some pretty nice bonuses, like period airdrop of new tokens.
Trading with zero-fee
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cobinhood-zero-trading-fee-cryptocurrency-exchange-2169745

To address your concerns: COBINHOOD makes money from ICO's which it underwrites, and from margin trading (which has a little fee on it)

For whose money will the exchange exist? Who will pay for the equipment, ervers. It also requires high costs for sacurity and personnel. Most likely it's just a marketing move to attract new customers. But after a while a fee will be introduced and the exchange will turn into the usual one.

Cobinhood is actually a copy-cat of Robinhood not the other way around. Robinhood is huge in the US and has been around for a long time. It is federally insured and SEC compliant in the US meaning they can't just walk away with your money.
Cobinhood is shit in comparison to Robinhood, no offense
Good to know - thanks! I'll keep an eye on it.
Is that insurance only for US citizens, or does that insurance cover international users too?
Robinhood did not show how they create "no fees" bonus. Who paid for that trick?
