- Robinhood now allows US customers to stake Ethereum and Solana with a minimum of $1 per stake.
- Ethereum staking on Robinhood uses batch processing to meet validator requirements and share protocol rewards.
- A 25% commission on staking rewards will begin in October 2025 across supported US regions.
Robinhood has officially launched Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) staking services for customers in the United States. This move follows the earlier rollout of staking features to European users and marks a significant step in the platform’s expansion into decentralized finance tools.
Users can now stake ETH and SOL directly through the Robinhood platform with a minimum of just $1. By participating, users lock their crypto holdings to help validate transactions and maintain blockchain security. Robinhood simplifies the technical requirements by combining user stakes through batch processing to meet Ethereum’s 32 ETH validator threshold.
Ethereum staking uses a pooling method
Ethereum stakers on Robinhood can expect to earn rewards ranging from 50% to 100% of the protocol rate. The reward range depends on the batch aggregation process used by Robinhood to optimize validator operations. This system enables users to participate without holding a full validator amount, lowering the barrier to entry.
Solana staking operates similarly by locking SOL tokens within the network to support transaction verification. Robinhood handles the backend operations, offering users an easier route into staking without needing to run their validator nodes.
Staking is now available for U.S. customers.

Despite the broader rollout, users in California, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin remain unable to access staking features due to regulatory limitations. Robinhood continues to monitor regulatory developments in these regions.
Commission fees begin in October 2025
Robinhood has announced that a 25% commission will apply to staking rewards beginning in October 2025. This fee will be in addition to any third-party validator provider costs. The commission rate aligns with general market standards within the staking industry.
This launch comes as part of Robinhood’s broader push into cryptocurrency services. The company recently acquired Bitstamp and WonderFi, signaling stronger efforts in digital asset infrastructure. Additionally, Robinhood has plans to introduce its own blockchain on the Arbitrum network.
