American stock brokerage Robinhood Crypto has officially launched its zero-fee crypto trading app in New York, the company announced in a blog post on May 23.
Following the acquisition of a BitLicense by the New York State Department of Financial Services in January 2019, Robinhood now allows New York citizens to trade in seven major cryptos with no commission fee using its Robinhood Crypto platform.
From now, the Robinhood Crypto service is available in 39 states in the United States, including California, Washington and Florida, among others.
The Robinhood trading app allows for the trading of bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash, litecoin, bitcoin SV, ethereum classic and dogecoin.
Robinhood users can also track price alterations and updates for those cryptos and 10 additional coins, the blog post notes.
Earlier in April, Robinhood applied for a bank charter with regulators in the U.S. in order to offer traditional banking products and services.
Previously, the DFS granted a BitLicense to a institutional-grade crypto trading platform Tagomi Trading, enabling the company to offer trade routing and order execution services for non-security cryptos including bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and bitcoin cash.
Recently, on April 18, Bloomberg reported that the ICE was considering acquiring a New York BitLicense to launch bitcoin futures, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
