Acquisition Complete, Platforms Rebranding
Robinhood Markets closed its acquisition of WonderFi on June 1, 2026, according to the company's official announcement. WonderFi operates Bitbuy and Coinsquare, two of Canada's longest-standing regulated crypto platforms, both of which will now operate under the Robinhood brand. The transaction brings approximately 300,000 funded customers from those platforms directly into Robinhood's ecosystem, representing one of the larger user acquisitions in recent crypto M&A activity.
Pricing and Service Changes for Canadian Users
Robinhood is standardizing pricing across the acquired platforms at a flat 0.5% fee per CAD trade, which the company describes as lower than existing market rates. Canadian users will be invited to migrate to the Robinhood app, gaining access to the company's consumer interface and globally scaled platform infrastructure. Robinhood said it intends to maintain WonderFi's existing institutional relationships under its ownership.
Scale and International Expansion
The deal pushes Robinhood's total international funded customer base past 1 million for the first time, according to the announcement. The acquisition marks Robinhood's formal entry into the Canadian market and expands its geographic footprint beyond its core US operations.
Why It Matters
For Traders
CAD crypto trading fees now capped at 0.5% on Robinhood; existing Bitbuy and Coinsquare users will face platform migration and potential changes to order routing or liquidity.
For Investors
Robinhood's international customer base now exceeds 1 million, diversifying revenue away from US-only exposure; regulatory approval in Canada signals willingness to operate under tighter provincial oversight.
For Builders
Three major Canadian crypto platforms now operate under a single US-listed entity; liquidity and API access for builders integrating with Robinhood will expand, but competitive options in Canada narrow.
