The online brokerage firm's approach of launching the feature is to encourage automatic investing, not trading. That is investors should not worry about the market fluctuations and invest the same amount regularly to build a corpus that should eventually lead to gains.

Robinhood is enticing investors by saying that they can invest in multiple coins without “ever incurring a fee” and comparing this to other platforms, which, it added, charge a commission fee of up to four percent for each cryptocurrency trade. "If you spend $100 to buy Bitcoin, you'll get $100 worth of the cryptocurrency. Period," reads the blog “Our mission is to democratise finance for all".

Robinhood said the feature will be rolled out gradually to all its customers this month.

Recently, Robinhood said that massively boosted its Q2 revenue, ing for nearly 62 percent of its crypto revenue. The commission-free crypto trading app launched its IPO towards the end of July.

Robinhood, which allows investors to buy and sell leading digital currencies, brought commission-free trading to new investors and has benefitted hugely from cryptocurrency.
