Robinhood has expanded its cryptocurrency services by introducing Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) staking for U.S. customers, dramatically lowering entry barriers with a minimum stake requirement of just $1. The platform simplifies the staking process by pooling user deposits to fulfill Ethereum’s 32 ETH validator threshold, while handling all validator operations for Solana on behalf of users.
Starting October 1, 2025, a 25% fee will apply to all staking rewards, positioning Robinhood competitively alongside industry peers like Coinbase. Currently, access is limited to select U.S. regions pending regulatory approvals in additional jurisdictions.
This rollout forms part of Robinhood’s strategic push to broaden its cryptocurrency offerings and enhance customer experience. By reducing technical and financial obstacles, the platform aims to make staking rewards accessible to mainstream investors.
