Is Robinhood Crypto available in the US?
Yes — Robinhood Crypto is licensed for US customers (US state money-transmitter licenses / registered broker-dealer parent). It is one of the exchanges we can legally reference and monetize for a US audience. Availability can vary by state, so confirm your state before signing up.
How we make money: we earn a commission when you sign up with an
exchange through our links. That never changes what we recommend or how we rank —
rankings follow our published review criteria and are re-checked on a fixed schedule.

Crypto risk: crypto assets are volatile and can lose value, are not FDIC-insured, and are not a bank deposit. This is not financial advice — do your own research before trading.
