Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin added to Robinhood Crypto

“Since we launched Robinhood Crypto in February, our customers have voiced interest in buying and selling other cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. We’re happy to share that starting today, you can buy and sell Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, commission-free,” the company says in a blog post.

It adds: “We’re working hard to make Robinhood Crypto available to everyone, and it’s currently available in 17 US states: AZ, CA, CO, FL, IN, MA, MI, MS, MO, MT, NJ, NM, PA, TX, UT, VA, and WI. We also plan to further expand our coin offerings and add support for coin transfers.”

The venture – valued at $5.6 billion – also flagged up that it had “reached over five million people across the entire Robinhood platform”.
