Robinhood Connect revolutionizes how you trade and transfer cryptocurrencies, offering a seamless bridge between self-custody wallets, decentralized apps (dapps), and your Robinhood account. This service enables fast, low-fee purchases using debit cards, bank accounts, or existing Robinhood buying power.

Robinhood Connect supports the identical portfolio of coins available on Robinhood Crypto. Availability varies by state due to regulatory restrictions, and not all dapps/wallets may support every asset. Key points:
- Coin selection mirrors Robinhood Crypto’s offerings
- State-specific approvals apply
- Compatibility depends on your wallet/dapp’s supported assets
