The Metamask developer made this announcement in a press release on Tuesday (06/02/2024). The announcement is regarding the integration of Robinhood and MetaMask to make Web3 access easier than before.
The Self-Custodial crypto wallet MetaMask now lets users purchase cryptocurrencies through the popular online trading platform, Robinhood. This platform offers a low-cost order engine, providing a secure, user-friendly, and self-custodial approach to Web3 adoption.
Consensys, a blockchain and Web3 software company, integrated with Robinhood Markets to launch the integration of Robinhood Connect with MetaMask, Consensys’ self-custodial Web3 wallet, as conveyed in the press release.
The objective of integration is to support the adoption of Web3 by providing users with a frictionless, secure, and self-custodial onboarding experience. MetaMask, a self-custodial wallet, allows users to have complete control over their digital assets.

It provides users with a simple way to access self-custodial services. It also aligns with internet users’ growing desire to control their identity on the internet and to own the things that they make online.&nbsp;
Lorenzo Santos, senior product manager at Consensys said,
“The integration between MetaMask and Robinhood is an exciting step in our shared commitment to reduce friction for users seeking access to a self-custodial option.”
This integration will complement Robinhood’s mission to decrease mismatch and increase adoption of Web3, as the product head at Robinhood crypto, Seong Lee, said,
“Robinhood Connect provides a seamless experience for existing Robinhood customers to fund their self-custody wallet via debit, bank transfer or Robinhood buying power.”
This feature enables early usage of crypto.

On-ramps: A key piece of infrastructure that serves as a bridge between traditional banking rails and the blockchain-based crypto economy. It allows users to play an important role in onboarding users to Web3 applications.&nbsp;
The company launched its on-ramp feature in April as a tool for users to fund their crypto wallets without leaving a decentralized application.
Lorenzo Santos further stated,&nbsp;
“We know that crypto and internet users want greater control and ownership.”
It will help more users access crypto in a seamless and self-custodial manner, as it will offer more buying options with service providers they already use and trust.
In December 2023, Robinhood expanded its crypto trading services to the U.K. and Europe, supporting cryptos to expand beyond the major markets. The crypto trading services will adhere to the <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/02/03/european-union-signs-landmark-ai-act-amid-innovation-concerns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">European Union’s </a>(EU) comprehensive digital asset regulations.
As per the Global Survey conducted in 2023, Consensys found that out of 15,000 respondents, most internet users are shifting towards active participation, empowerment, and broader community ownership. The total respondents were segregated into three categories.&nbsp;
79% of the total respondents want additional control over their identity, and 67% of the respondents want to own the things they make online. The third category highlighted the complexity of Web3 technologies as a barrier to entering the crypto ecosystem.
These findings recommended simplifying access to self-custodial offerings and the new integration will empower these objectives.
