Robinhood has officially launched Ethereum and Solana staking services for its US users, marking another milestone in the trading platform’s growing push to make cryptocurrency more accessible.
Starting July 10, 2025, Robinhood customers can stake ETH and SOL with as little as $1, giving investors an easy entry into blockchain validation rewards without the steep 32 ETH validator requirement. By pooling user holdings, Robinhood ensures that even small investors can earn passive income while helping secure both blockchain networks.
Staking is now available for U.S. customers.

The launch comes as part of Robinhood’s broader mission to “democratize finance” by expanding its crypto tools beyond basic buying and selling. The staking rollout is designed to help users grow their portfolios by locking up tokens to validate network transactions, while earning yield in return.
However, the service isn’t available in every US state just yet. Due to regulatory hurdles, residents of California, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin are excluded from the staking program for now. Robinhood has emphasized that it will continue working with regulators to expand coverage where possible.
“Robinhood is committed to lowering barriers in crypto finance,” said a company spokesperson. “By simplifying staking and offering rewards tracking directly in the app, we’re giving users more ways to build value from their digital assets.”
This move is also part of Robinhood’s wider plan to launch its blockchain on Arbitrum. According to executives, the upcoming Robinhood chain will host stock and ETF tokens, support 24/7 trading, enable self-custody, and allow users to receive dividends right in the app.
While some staking platforms charge higher fees, Robinhood aims to keep its service simple and cost-effective to attract both new and seasoned crypto holders.
Recent changes in the US regulatory climate have paved the way for staking to gain clearer legal standing. Two crypto-related bills are currently on the desk of President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign them swiftly into law, providing even more legal clarity for staking and other blockchain services.
Globally, the EU’s MiCA framework has already offered more explicit guidance for staking, helping Robinhood gain a regulatory head start as it gears up for full-scale deployment in the US.
With its ETH and SOL staking services now live, Robinhood joins a growing list of mainstream platforms embracing yield-generation tools to keep pace with user demand for more crypto income opportunities.
