Online trading app Robinhood (HOOD) said it will end support for BSV, the native token of the Bitcoin SV blockchain, on Jan. 25.
Users can buy, sell, send and hold BSV until the deadline, Robinhood said in a Wednesday email to customers and statement on its website. Any BSV in a Robinhood crypto account after the deadline will be sold for market value, it said.

Robinhood’s decision was based on its regular review of cryptocurrencies offered, the email said. It didn’t specify the reason why it ended support for the token and declined to comment on the decision process for individual assets.
“We have a rigorous framework in place to help us regularly review the crypto we offer on Robinhood,” a spokesperson told CoinDesk in a statement. “We are extremely selective about the assets we offer as we build toward our goal of making Robinhood Crypto the most trusted, lowest cost, and easiest to use on-ramp to crypto.”
The Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (Bitcoin SV) blockchain was created in 2018 after a hard fork from the Bitcoin Cash blockchain, which in turn was a hard fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain.
BSV’s price dropped more than 15% following the announcement, falling from $44 to as low as $37. It had risen to $39 as of press time.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
