This marks a significant step for the company, which gained widespread recognition during the pandemic&#8217;s &#8220;meme-stock&#8221; frenzy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shaking up the UK Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Robinhood&#8217;s CEO and co-founder, Vlad Tenev, has expressed his desire to shake up the UK market by offering lower fees to customers. This move comes as retail investor enthusiasm for stocks cools down. The UK launch is part of Robinhood&#8217;s international growth strategy, which began in 2019 with plans to acquire UK-based crypto trading firm Ziglu. However, the acquisition fell through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d like to help lower fees for all customers in the UK, just like we did in the US back in 2019, right before COVID,\u201d Vlad Tenev, Robinhood\u2019s chief executive and co-founder, said in an interview with Bloomberg News.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Competitive Landscape<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Robinhood enters a crowded UK market, already home to established players like Revolut and Freetrade. New York-based rival Public.com also expanded to the UK in July, adding further competition. Tenev believes Robinhood&#8217;s experience and infrastructure in the US give it an edge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our technology-driven approach and financial services focus, as opposed to a traditional brick-and-mortar structure, enable us to expand internationally in ways that traditional institutions cannot,&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Beyond stocks and ETFs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to offering trading in over 6,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs, Robinhood will also bring its cryptocurrency options to the UK market in the coming weeks. However, crypto trading volumes have dropped significantly for Robinhood in recent months, with a 55% decrease in the third quarter compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Robinhood is diversifying its revenue streams through various products and services, including securities lending and its premium-paid account, Robinhood Gold. Tenev hinted at the upcoming launch of a Robinhood credit card in the US, further expanding their revenue options.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Future of Robinhood<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Robinhood&#8217;s UK expansion reflects their commitment to international growth and offering lower fees to customers. While the company faces competition and scrutiny from regulators, Tenev remains optimistic about its future. Robinhood&#8217;s technology infrastructure and financial services expertise position them well to compete in the UK market and potentially disrupt the traditional financial landscape.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe fact that we\u2019ve built this platform from the ground up and we\u2019re a technology company and financial services, not a brick and mortar institution, I think makes us more able to expand internationally in ways that traditional financial institutions can&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Will Robinhood replicate its US success in the UK? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain:The company&#8217;s arrival has shaken up the UK market and sparked a new era of competition for retail investors.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/news\/robinhood-enters-the-uk-market-with-lower-fees-and-crypto-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robinhood, the popular US-based financial technology company known for its commission-free stock trading app, has&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":196691,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Robinhood Enters the UK Market with Lower Fees and Crypto Options - Coinpedia Fintech News - Tokens Talk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/crypto\/robinhood-enters-the-uk-market-with-lower-fees-and-crypto-options-coinpedia-fintech-news\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Robinhood Enters the UK Market with Lower Fees and Crypto Options - Coinpedia Fintech News - Tokens Talk\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Robinhood, the popular US-based financial technology company known for its commission-free stock trading app, has...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/crypto\/robinhood-enters-the-uk-market-with-lower-fees-and-crypto-options-coinpedia-fintech-news\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Tokens Talk\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-12-07T07:40:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Robinhood-Enters-the-UK-Market-with-Lower-Fees-and-Crypto-Options-Coinpedia-Fintech-News.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/crypto\/robinhood-enters-the-uk-market-with-lower-fees-and-crypto-options-coinpedia-fintech-news\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/crypto\/robinhood-enters-the-uk-market-with-lower-fees-and-crypto-options-coinpedia-fintech-news\/\",\"name\":\"Robinhood Enters the UK Market with Lower Fees and Crypto Options - Coinpedia Fintech News - Tokens Talk\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-12-07T07:40:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-12-07T07:40:06+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/#\/schema\/person\/6f5c93d641f4dc4ea25a3807d041e4ab\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/crypto\/robinhood-enters-the-uk-market-with-lower-fees-and-crypto-options-coinpedia-fintech-news\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/crypto\/robinhood-enters-the-uk-market-with-lower-fees-and-crypto-options-coinpedia-fintech-news\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/crypto\/robinhood-enters-the-uk-market-with-lower-fees-and-crypto-options-coinpedia-fintech-news\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/tokenstalk.info\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Robinhood Enters the UK Market with Lower Fees and Crypto Options &#8211;
