Investment bank Architect Partners stated that Robinhood's acquisition of Bitstamp could reduce the strong regulatory impact of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Robinhood's cryptocurrency business is gradually increasing its share of total revenue, despite receiving a Wells notice from the SEC last month, indicating potential enforcement action. The company is still expanding its digital asset business. The acquisition of Bitstamp not only enhances Robinhood's global influence but also helps it resist potential U.S. regulatory measures on a global scale.

Investment bank Architect Partners stated that cryptocurrencies are becoming an increasingly important part of Robinhood's business (cryptocurrencies account for 20% of Robinhood's total revenue in the first quarter of 2024), despite receiving a Wells notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last month. The trading platform continues to expand its digital asset business. The Wells notice is a preliminary warning issued by the SEC, informing Robinhood that regulatory authorities have gathered enough information and may take enforcement action against it. The acquisition of Bitstamp has expanded Robinhood's global influence, ensuring participation regardless of the actions taken by the U.S. (Coindesk).
