On 2 June 2025, Robinhood announced acquiring the 2011-founded global cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp. The acquisition is mainly part of Robinhood’s efforts to expand its crypto services worldwide.
Importantly, the $200 million deal will give Robinhood the edge it sought as it introduces its first institutional crypto business.
“The acquisition of Bitstamp is a major step in growing our crypto business,” said Johann Kerbrat, General Manager of Robinhood Crypto. “Through this strategic combination, we are better positioned to expand our footprint outside of the US and welcome institutional customers to Robinhood.”
Bitstamp is now part of @RobinhoodApp
Together, we’re combining 14 years of trusted crypto expertise with Robinhood’s global vision – expanding access and building the future of crypto, together.

After a multi-month presale that secured an impressive $12.5m in funding, MIND of Pepe is finally launching in less than six hours.
Investors have until 2 pm UTC today (June 3) to gain exposure to one of the most exciting AI Agent projects.
The official MIND X account said that although the presale is over, investors can still secure the MIND token at the initial listing price. This means its the last chance to jump in before the open market decides just how high MIND will go.
Claiming MIND tokens purchased during presale will take place today at 2pm UTC. It is the same time that MIND goes live on the Uniswap DEX. There are also rumors of a possible CEX listing for MIND. This has created murmurings within the community that it will be the next Binance listing.
To secure MIND tokens at the initial listing price before the token lists on exchanges later today, head to the MIND of Pepe website, connect your wallet (Best Wallet is recommended), and purchase using ETH.
You can download Best Wallet on Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Join the MIND of Pepe community on Telegram and X for launch updates, token claim walkthroughs, and any surprise announcements from the team.
