Robinhood said it will bring trusted and reputable institutional business to Robinhood. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025, subject to conditions and regulatory approval.
Robinhood To Work With Ripple
Ripple acquired a stake in crypto exchange Bitstamp from Pantera last year, shocking the industry as it also acquired crypto custody firm Metaco for $250 million. Ripple president Monica Long said the company’s stake acquisition in Bitstamp is a major move to help grow its global presence and go beyond payments.
Robinhood’s acquisition of Bitstamp brings back reminiscence of Ripple’s acquisition of an undisclosed amount of shares in the crypto exchange, said the crypto community. It sparked speculation of Robinhood and Ripple working together on many aspects including listing XRP on Robinhood.
Bitstamp already has several stablecoins already issued on the XRP Ledger. This makes Robinhood indirectly have the tech infrastructure to list XRP Ledger-issued tokens. Tokens are used for cross-currency payments and can be traded in the decentralized exchange.
