Your cryptocurrency assets arent part of your Robinhood Financial account. Your brokerage account is with Robinhood Financial LLC and allows trading of stocks, ETFs and options, while cryptocurrency trading is done through an account with Robinhood Crypto, LLC. Robinhood Crypto is licensed to engage in virtual currency business activity by the New York State Department of Financial Services, as well as a number of other state money service business regulators. Robinhood Crypto is not a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Cryptocurrencies are not stocks and your cryptocurrency investments are not products protected by either FDIC or SIPC. Robinhood Financial, LLC and Robinhood Crypto, LLC are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Robinhood Markets, Inc.

For these reasons, you can trade cryptocurrencies on Robinhood with a Cash, Instant, or Gold account.

If your Robinhood Financial account is restricted for any reason, your Robinhood Crypto account may also be restricted. You will not be able to trade cryptocurrencies until the restriction on your Robinhood Financial account is lifted.
