Robinhood Crypto is a US customer trading service with two execution paths. Market-maker routing has no separately invoiced commission but includes a disclosed rebate in the spread. Exchange routing charges an explicit fee and can use affiliated Bitstamp or other partner venues. These paths should be compared using the full execution price.[1]
Routes, interfaces and order behaviour
Sections ↑Execution routes
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Market-maker routing | Default in the app and classic web | Robinhood receives a disclosed rebate |
| Exchange routing | Routes to partner exchanges | No market-maker rebate; explicit tier fee |
| Limit routing | Generally rests at Bitstamp | Another venue may be used when price improvement covers the taker-fee difference |
Interface determines the route
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Classic web | Market-maker routing | Advanced exchange fees do not describe this screen |
| Advanced mobile charts | Exchange routing for eligible assets | An ineligible asset can fall back to market makers |
| Ladder / Legend | Exchange routing | Availability remains account- and asset-dependent |
| North Carolina | Exchange routing unavailable under the help page | Do not infer nationwide access |
Maker and taker treatment
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Market / stop market | Taker | Removes liquidity |
| Resting limit / stop limit | Maker if it adds liquidity | Reduced rate is being rolled out |
| Immediately filled limit | Taker | The word limit does not ensure a maker fee |
| API v2 | Counts toward eligible volume | Taker treatment until maker/taker rollout reaches it |

Volume measurement and tier protection
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Included | Eligible exchange-routed app, Ladder, Legend and API v2 fills | Fees are excluded |
| Excluded | Market-maker trades, classic web and API v1 | Do not add them to exchange-routing volume |
| Upgrade | After an eligible fill | Lower rate applies to the next order |
| Seven-day protection | Tier is locked against downgrades | Further upgrades remain possible |
| Open order | Rate fixed at placement | A later tier change does not reprice it |
Rebate, commission and reserved buying power
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Market-maker rebate | 0.95% of notional disclosed since 15 June 2026 | Included in the spread, not an extra 0.95% debit |
| Partner exchange share | 0%–0.02% included in the routing fee | Do not add it again |
| Buying-power reserve | Initially uses the higher taker rate | Difference is credited if maker treatment applies |
Illustrative US$1,000 exchange-routing fees
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-tier maker | US$5 | Assumes reduced rate is available and fill qualifies |
| Entry-tier taker | US$9.50 | Same notional |

| US$50 k–250 k tier taker | US$2.50 | Fee excludes price movement |
Other crypto product charges
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Blockchain transfer | No Robinhood transfer commission | Network fee still applies |
| Staking | 25% of staking rewards | Not 25% of staked principal |
| Connect using debit card or bank | 0%–1.5% | Provider/dApp and checkout determine rate |

Transfer activation, addresses and limits
Sections ↑Before an on-chain transfer
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Verification | Additional identity checks may be required | Review may take up to five business days |
| Receive address | Use the address shown for that asset | Do not reuse a different coin’s address |
| Network and tag | Match both destination network and required memo | A correct ticker alone is insufficient |
Transfer limits and finality
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Deposits | Help page says crypto deposit limits are unlimited | Supported assets and compliance checks still apply |
| Withdrawals | Account-specific and changeable | Verification, history and funding method affect limits |
| Submitted transfer | Cannot be cancelled or reversed by Robinhood | Verify the destination before submission |
Custodial app account versus blockchain destination
Sections ↑The Robinhood Crypto account is distinct from Robinhood Wallet and from a securities brokerage account. Moving a supported token out requires the crypto transfer process; an app trading balance is not itself a user-controlled private key. The transfer fee schedule is also separate from staking and Connect.[3][4]
US account and product eligibility
Sections ↑This profile covers the US Robinhood Crypto relationship. Supported assets, transfer activation and exchange-routing access can differ by state and account; North Carolina is specifically excluded from exchange routing in the reviewed help page. The existence of Robinhood products abroad does not extend these US terms to those products.[1][4]
Execution and transfer cases
Sections ↑Evidence for an account-support case
| Item | Published treatment | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Execution | Order ID, interface, routing choice and fills | A limit-price touch on another venue need not fill an order resting at Bitstamp |
| Fee | Placement-time tier and maker/taker result | Distinguishes tier from final liquidity treatment |
| Transfer | Transaction hash, asset, network and destination | Distinguishes blockchain progress from account credit |
Scope of the named service
Sections ↑The fee schedule is issued for Robinhood Crypto. It should not be used as evidence that crypto holdings have the protections of securities positions, or that a different Robinhood group company supplies the same product in another country.[3]
Venue dependence
Sections ↑Robinhood’s routing disclosure says an unavailable partner exchange may be replaced by the next available venue. That can affect execution price, fee treatment and the venue on the trade record even when the customer-facing app is unchanged.[1]
