This development marks a significant step forward in enhancing accessibility and convenience for crypto investors, allowing them to seamlessly transition between platforms and access a wider range of digital assets.

The integration of Robinhood Connect within the Uniswap mobile app represents a significant expansion of Uniswap’s capabilities, enabling users to leverage their existing Robinhood balances to purchase cryptocurrencies directly from the Uniswap platform.

The past month of April saw significant crypto-related announcements from Robinhood. Robinhood Wallet now supports cross-chain swaps on Polygon’s proof-of-stake (PoS) network.

The popular stock and crypto trading app announced in April that Shiba Inu (SHIB), Avalanche (AVAX) and Compound (COMP) are now available for New York State residents, allowing users to buy, sell and trade these cryptocurrencies on the Robinhood app.
