The app is an important step for the company in providing cryptocurrency services. Before January 2022, cryptocurrency trading on Robinhood was a closed system where users could not withdraw crypto.
On Jan. 21, Robinhood opened up crypto withdrawals to 1,000 users, allowing them to send crypto outside of the platform.. That figure was later expanded, in April, to the more than 2 million users on the waiting list.
The wallet is currently limited by an identity verification process and only supports seven assets: Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin SV (BSV), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ether (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), and Litecoin (LTC).

This partnership brings the LimeWire brand full circle, as during its heyday P2P was a target of record companies, because users illegally shared content protected by copyright. The original platform was finally withdrawn in 2010 after losing a court battle against the Recording Industry Association of America.
In March 2022, the brand re-emerged as an NFT marketplace focused on the music industry.. Brothers Paul and Julian Zehetmayr bought the rights to the name so it would come back “as a platform for artists, not against them”.
