Robinhood, the popular commission-free trading platform, has unveiled its plans to expand into Europe in the near future, with a focus on establishing brokerage operations in the United Kingdom.
This announcement was made on November 7th, coinciding with the release of the company’s third-quarter financial results, which revealed a revenue miss.
The decline in transaction-based revenue was attributed to reduced cryptocurrency trading volumes on the platform.
In the third quarter, Robinhood reported a net revenue of $467 million, slightly below the average analyst estimate of $478.9 million.
Despite this, the company still achieved a substantial 29% year-on-year growth compared to the same period last year.
Transaction-based revenues saw an 11% decrease, amounting to $185 million, primarily due to a significant 55% drop in cryptocurrency notional volumes over the past year, as stated in Robinhood’s Tuesday announcement.
Interestingly, despite the decline in cryptocurrency trading activity, Robinhood has ambitious plans for its crypto services.

The company recently revealed its intentions to expand its services to the state of Nevada and added support for the meme cryptocurrency Shiba Inu just last month.
When questioned about the expansion into the European Union, Cointelegraph attempted to reach out to Robinhood for more details but has yet to receive a response.
This expansion move comes at a time when some cryptocurrency firms have suspended serving U.K. customers due to new regulations that require crypto firms to provide clear risk labels and implement system changes, which took effect on October 8th.
It’s worth noting that back in June, Robinhood ceased support for cryptocurrencies that were involved in lawsuits with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including those related to Binance and Coinbase.
These included assets like Cardano, Polygon, and Solana. Presently, Robinhood offers trading support for 15 different cryptocurrencies, including popular ones like Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, and Avalanche.
Robinhood’s decision to expand into Europe demonstrates its commitment to further globalize its platform and services, despite challenges in the cryptocurrency market and regulatory changes in different regions.
By venturing into the U.K. and potentially other European markets, Robinhood aims to continue its growth and offer its user-friendly trading platform to a broader international audience while adhering to regulatory standards.
