Robinhood Considers Expanding Into Cryptocurrency Futures Markets
Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) is contemplating the launch of cryptocurrency futures in both the U.S. and Europe in the coming months.
Robinhood Markets Inc.（納斯達克：HOOD）計劃未來幾個月在美國和歐洲推出數字貨幣期貨。
What Happened: According to sources familiar with the matter, the move is planned to follow the completion of its $200 million acquisition of Bitstamp Ltd., a Luxembourg-based crypto exchange, expected next year, Bloomberg reported.
根據知情人士的消息，根據Bloomberg的報道，這一舉措計劃在明年完成對盧森堡數字貨幣交易所Bitstamp Ltd.的2億美元收購之後推出。
Leveraging Bitstamp's licenses, Robinhood aims to offer perpetual futures for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in Europe. In the US, the platform is exploring the introduction of CME-based futures for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).
利用Bitstamp的許可證，Robinhood旨在在歐洲提供比特幣和其他加密貨幣無限期期貨。在美國，該平台正在探索推出基於CME的比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）和以太坊（加密貨幣：ETH）期貨。
However, a Robinhood spokesperson indicated that there are "no imminent plans to launch these offerings," noting that discussions are ongoing and final decisions have not been made.
然而，Robinhood的一位發言人表示，“目前沒有即將推出這些產品的計劃”，並指出討論仍在進行中，最終決策尚未作出。
Crypto derivatives represent a significantly larger market compared to the spot market globally.
與全球現貨市場相比，數字貨幣衍生品市場規模要大得多。
In May, centralized exchanges saw spot trading volumes of $1.57 trillion, while derivatives trading volumes soared to $3.69 trillion, as reported by crypto research firm CCData.

Despite a Wells notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission, suggesting a potential enforcement action against Robinhood, the company has been actively expanding its cryptocurrency strategy.
儘管證監會向羅賓漢發出《威爾斯通知書》，暗示可能採取執法行動，但該公司一直在積極擴大其加密貨幣戰略。
In June, Robinhood announced its agreement to acquire Bitstamp, with the deal anticipated to close in the first half of 2025.
6月份，羅賓漢宣佈同意收購Bitstamp，交易預計在2025年上半年完成。
Earlier, in March, the company acquired Marex FCM, securing the necessary license to offer futures in the US.
此前，該公司在3月份收購了Marex FCM，獲得了在美國提供期貨的必要許可證。
Currently, Coinbase Global Inc., (NASDAQ:COIN) the largest U.S. crypto exchange, already provides derivatives trading.
