Updated October 9, 2026. Yes. You can buy and sell crypto on Robinhood in 2026, including more than one round trip the same day. Crypto trades run through Robinhood Crypto, LLC, not as stocks in the brokerage account. They are not subject to the old pattern-day-trader stock rule.
On June 4, 2026, FINRA replaced the pattern-day-trader rule for margin stock accounts. Robinhood says the $25,000 minimum for day trading stocks in a margin account is gone, and old PDT flags were removed. A $2,000 minimum equity still applies if you use margin. That stock change is separate from crypto. Crypto on Robinhood was already outside the PDT rule.
- There is no commission line item. The cost is in the spread.
- There is no crypto margin and no shorting. You trade with cash.
- Crypto trades around the clock, including weekends. The coin list changes. Check the app.
- Crypto is not FDIC insured or SIPC protected.
- Every sale can be a taxable event. The IRS treats crypto as property.
Options on stocks have been available for years. An older version of this page said Robinhood was still planning to launch options in 2023. That is out of date.
