Robinhood Rolls Out ETH and SOL Staking In the U.S. - Crypto News Flash

• Robinhood launches ETH and SOL staking for U.S. users directly in-app without external wallets or complex setup.
• This move is part of Robinhood’s broader strategy to expand crypto and tokenized asset services globally.

Robinhood is finally bringing Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) staking directly into its app for users in the United States. The move was announced at an event called “To Catch a Token” held in Cannes, France, and is quite interesting news, considering that the feature was previously only available to the European market.

Now, US users in states that support the service can enjoy the potential returns from crypto staking, right from the Robinhood app without having to go to another platform.

The staking system they offer is as simple as possible. Users simply choose a token, enter the amount they want to stake, and wait for the results—all in one app. This feature not only makes it easier to access, but also provides a space for users who want to generate passive income from crypto in a more integrated and hassle-free way. Plus, there’s no need to set up an external wallet or deal with a complicated interface.

Robinhood Moves Deeper into Crypto With Futures and Proposals

On the other hand, the launch of ETH and SOL staking is not Robinhood’s only move in the crypto world. A few days earlier, CNF reported that Robinhood also launched micro futures products for XRP and Solana. This product is designed to open access to crypto derivatives trading to more people, especially traders with limited capital.

For XRP, one contract includes 2,500 tokens with a tick value of only $1.25—much lighter than a standard contract that can reach $25. While for Solana, the contract size is 25 SOL. Everything is settled in cash, so there is no need to bother with sending tokens.

Furthermore, Robinhood seems serious about its long-term strategy. Last May, they submitted a 42-page proposal to the SEC to draft regulations for real-world tokenized assets.

This proposal proposes a real asset exchange that combines an off-blockchain transaction matching system with settlement on the Solana and Base networks. So it’s not just following the trend, but really trying to influence how the digital financial system will work in the future.

Robinhood’s journey in this sector has not always been smooth, however. As we reported, in March Robinhood agreed to a $29.75 million settlement over a series of FINRA investigations, including over anti-money laundering compliance and transaction processing delays.

However, the SEC has closed its investigation into its crypto asset listings without taking legal action, which could be interpreted as an indirect green light for its compliance so far.

Not only that, Robinhood has also hinted at even more ambitious plans for the future. They are developing their own Layer 2 blockchain to support broader asset tokenization. If this comes to fruition, Robinhood could no longer be just a trading platform, but could transform into a full-fledged digital ecosystem that connects crypto, stocks, derivatives, and real-world assets.
