Robinhood plans to buy crypto exchange BitStamp to expand its crypto business internationally even as it faces increased scrutiny by regulators at home.
The financial services company said Thursday it would buy BitStamp for $200 million in cash to help it expand its crypto business worldwide. Founded in Slovenia in 2011, BitStamp has a major international presence with more than 50 active licenses to operate globally. Most of the company’s revenue comes from Europe.
