Robinhood expands perpetual futures offering in Europe, plans crypto launch in UK
Jul 1, 2026 12:15 PM

July 1 (Reuters) - Robinhood said on Wednesday it

plans to launch crypto trading in the UK and broadened its

perpetual futures offering in Europe beyond cryptocurrencies.

Here are some details:

* Eligible European investors will now be able to trade

perpetual futures tied to commodities, ETFs and foreign exchange

markets, including gold, silver, crude oil and the euro-dollar

pair, with leverage of up to 10 times and round-the-clock

trading, the company said.

* Perpetual futures, commonly known as "perps," are futures

contracts with no expiration date and have drawn significant

attention in the U.S. after the CFTC in May permitted their

trading on domestic exchanges.

* Separately, Robinhood said it plans to roll out crypto

trading for the UK as it seeks to build an all-in-one investing

platform for the region.

* The company also launched Robinhood Earn, a lending

product that allows eligible U.S. users to lend their

dollar-backed stablecoin, USDG, through a self-custody wallet at

an estimated 7% annualized return.

* Robinhood Earn includes insurance for certain losses

stemming from cyberattacks or smart-contract exploits, with the

coverage arranged through Lloyd's of London and RELM.

* The company also announced its entry into Canada following

its acquisition of WonderFi and said it had received a capital

markets services licence in Singapore.

* The trading platform, which serves more than 28 million

customers across 38 countries, has expanded into more financial

services in recent years to reduce its reliance on trading

activity.

* The company posted weaker-than-expected transaction

revenue for the first quarter amid crypto-driven ​volatility.
