- Blockchain development company Consensys has announced a new partnership with investment firm Robinhood, integrating their Robinhood Connect platform with MetaMask.
- This integration will expand access to cryptocurrencies for users of Robinhood’s trading platform.
In an effort to provide users with more purchasing options, Robinhood Connect’s integration with MetaMask’s Buy Crypto aggregator will allow users to buy digital assets using Robinhood’s order book.
Additionally, registered participants on the Robinhood platform will be able to transfer their crypto assets to their MetaMask wallet address, although this service will only be available to US customers.
“We are excited to combine trading on the Robinhood platform with the capabilities of the MetaMask Web3 wallet. This partnership will provide more people with seamless access to cryptocurrency by leveraging the services of trusted providers they already use,” said Consensys Senior Product Manager Lorenzo Santos.
In December 2023, Robinhood expanded its cryptocurrency trading app to Europe and granted access to spot Bitcoin ETFs for pension and brokerage account holders.
It is worth noting that in January 2024, the MetaMask team introduced the ability to deploy Ethereum nodes. This new service allows users to delegate the work of a validator without the need to purchase equipment or participate in a pool.
