Robinhood Crypto Wallet Waitlist Hits a Million Sign-ups<\/h2>\n

Vlad Tenev, the founder of Robinhood Markets, told the public on Thursday that the waitlist for Robinhood\u2019s crypto wallet has reached 1 million customers. Speaking at CNBC\u2019s Disruptor 50 Summit Tenev explained how popular cryptocurrencies are on the financial services application. \u201cWe\u2019re very proud of our cryptocurrency platform and giving people more utility with the coins they have,\u201d Tenev said at the event. The CEO added:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe rolled out our wallet\u2019s waitlist. A lot of people have been asking for the ability to send and receive cryptocurrencies, transfer them to hardware wallets, transfer them onto the platform to consolidate and the crypto wallets waitlist is well over a million people now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinhood CEO: \u2018Crypto Is Certainly Here to Stay as an Asset Class\u2019<\/h2>\n

In September, Bitcoin.com News reported on Robinhood adding a recurring crypto buy feature<\/a> and after the company added the service to the app, Robinhood said it was testing new crypto wallet<\/a> and transfer features. In addition, two months prior, an in-depth report<\/a> said that Robinhood was likely the owner of the largest dogecoin (DOGE) address. However, in the spring, Tenev had dismissed<\/a> the dogecoin address speculation.<\/p>\n

When discussing the new crypto wallet rollout this past week, Tenev remarked that there are benefits to digital currency wallets. \u201cYou can have a wallet, you can send people cryptocurrencies from that wallet to their wallet,\u201d Tenev said. \u201cThere\u2019s certain advantages that are in the technology that make it kind of global and accessible by default and that makes it very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Robinhood founder also noted that he thinks cryptocurrencies and the crypto economy have made their mark and it will likely remain that way. \u201cCrypto is certainly here to stay as an asset class and the ease of use and the global nature of it, I think, has made it attractive to lots of people,\u201d Tenev concluded.<\/p>\n
