Robinhood To Buy London Based Crypto App as Part of Europe Expansion

The London-based fintech startup Ziglu is scheduled to be purchased by Robinhood.


Robinhood will grow into the United Kingdom and Europe thanks to Ziglu's crypto capabilities.

After listing Shiba Inu, Solana, and other assets on its platform, Robinhood has made its second significant announcement.


Robinhood sprang to popularity after the GameStop fiasco, but it has since made a reputation for itself in the cryptocurrency area with its cryptocurrency exchange Robinhood Crypto.


As a result, the corporation is now concentrating on merely capitalizing on the current momentum with its actions.

Robinhood Comes to the UK

According to CNBC, Robinhood completed the acquisition of Ziglu, a fintech company located in London that offers crypto trading services for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, yesterday.


This agreement will be critical to Robinhood's efforts to extend its footprint in the United Kingdom and Europe, which the company has been eyeing for some time.


Robinhood was planning to take over these regions two years ago, but had to abandon its ambitions due to a lack of funding, claiming the need to focus on its domestic business rather than growing internationally.


This transaction will be very beneficial to the platform, which has seen a continuous fall in monthly active users in the fourth quarter of 2021, losing over 1.3 million members in only three months.


"Together with the Ziglu team, we'll seek to use the best of both businesses, finding new ways to innovate and break down barriers for clients throughout the UK and Europe," stated Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, in response to the loss of market share and the possibilities of the new arrangement.

Robinhood's Crypto Attempts

Robinhood's announcement of integrating Shiba Inu, Solana, Compound, and Polygon's tokens to Robinhood Crypto. Ziglu's acquisition is the second most major move made by Robinhood this month.


A few days later, CEO Tenev was quoted as declaring that Dogecoin may become the "Currency of the Internet," claiming that the coin's inflation rate is much lower than that of the USD (Dollar), and that it can attain that position by cutting costs and boosting the number of transactions per second.


As a result, it seems that Robinhood will continue to grow until it becomes a key crypto market participant on a global scale.
