Robinhood Wallet has added support for Solana
Robinhood Wallet now supports Solana tokens, with the self-custody wallet available on iOS and Android.
Solana price rose slightly after the news.
The Robinhood Wallet, a self-custody wallet app available on iOS and Android, has added support for Solana (SOL).
Robinhood announced the big news on August 27, providing a positive flip in Solana sentiment as prices hovered near $155. SOL price rose slightly on the news before retreating as the broader market struggled.
With support for SOL and Solana-based tokens, the wallet has added a new gateway to web3 for cryptocurrency’s fifth-largest asset by market cap. It’s also a huge boost for an ecosystem that has over $9.8 billion in total value locked and more than 1.99 million active addresses (24-hour count).
Robinhood Crypto general manager Johann Kerbrat commented on the wallet’s support for SOL and SLP tokens:
“Super excited to announce that the Solana network is now live on Robinhood Wallet! Starting today, you can self-custody Solana tokens and send + receive over the Solana blockchain.”
