key takeaways

  • Robinhood is letting 1,000 customers test the Beta version of its crypto WenWallets
  • The move allows Robinhood traders to send and receive to other crypto wallets gaining access to the wider blockchain and crypto community

Stock trading platform Robinhood has rolled out the beta version of its crypto wallet to 1,000 customers, allowing them to send and receive their digital assets off the platform to other crypto wallets for the first time.

By March, the company said it was aiming to extend its WenWallets to a further 10,000 customers before enabling access to the rest of the 1 million users currently on a waiting list, according to an announcement on Thursday.

“Beta testers will help us test core functionality and provide critical feedback to inform the final version of the product,” said Robinhood.

The wallet’s current iteration allows users to send and receive their crypto between the Robinhood platform to external crypto wallets, a method that has been restricted in the past.

Previously, traders could only buy and sell crypto assets within the app and transfers off the platform were restricted. The move will allow Robinhood traders to gain access to the wider blockchain and crypto community.

Over the course of the Beta testing phase, Robinhood said it would finalize the send and receive flows, add QR functionality, improve the transaction history interface and add block explorer support.

The ability to calculate the dollar value of crypto for the purpose of sending and receiving will also be added while a daily limit of $2,999 and ten transactions are being enforced during its current phase.

That amount is just below the $3,000 threshold that triggers record keeping requirements in the US for funds transfers under the Bank Secrecy Act.

“We’ve built world-class security integrations to monitor all transactions, ensuring that customers are able to both safely invest and transfer their crypto,” said Robinhood.

Innovations on Aptos’ technical design through Raptr, Shardines, and Zaptos approach near-optimal latency and throughput by unlocking 100% utilization of network resources, with the capacity to settle 260k transactions per second with latencies less than 800ms. The original Move language was revamped with the launch of Move 2, supporting more expressivity in smart contract logic and a scalable ability to interact with high volume datasets. The ecosystem has benefitted from strong asset inflows, now hosting over $1.3B in stablecoins, $450M in bridged BTC, and $530M in RWAs. Activity in the Aptos ecosystem has grown notably over the past year, with monthly application revenue reaching ~$835k and monthly DEX volumes growing to over $5B, both at new all time highs.
