Robinhood Expands Crypto Offerings with BNB Listing
Robinhood has officially added support for Binance’s native token, BNB, giving its 27 million funded users access to the world’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. This listing marks a significant milestone in the growing mainstream acceptance of Binance’s ecosystem in the United States. The move comes shortly after Coinbase added BNB to its listing roadmap, signaling that major U.S. exchanges are opening their doors to one of the crypto market’s most dominant networks.
BNB has been one of 2025’s standout performers. The token surged from around $500 in February to an all-time high above $1,350 earlier this month, fueled by heightened activity across the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The rally, dubbed “BNB SZN” by traders, has been powered by record-breaking trading volumes on PancakeSwap and a wave of new BNB-based memecoins that have attracted over 100,000 on-chain participants.
BNB’s Surge Highlights Growing Mainstream Adoption
At the time of writing, BNB is trading near $1,070 with a total market capitalization just under $150 billion. The addition of BNB to Robinhood’s platform further solidifies the brokerage’s position as a major player in the crypto trading space. With over $8.6 billion in crypto trading volume in August alone, Robinhood continues to expand its footprint among retail and institutional investors seeking diverse digital asset exposure.
Commenting on the company’s growing commitment to digital assets, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated, “Tokenization is like a freight train — it can’t be stopped.” His remarks reflect the company’s long-term vision of embracing blockchain technology and offering users seamless access to leading cryptocurrencies.
As the U.S. market gradually opens up to Binance-related tokens, Robinhood’s latest move could pave the way for further adoption and integration of the BNB ecosystem, reinforcing the token’s position as a cornerstone of decentralized finance (DeFi) activity.
