Crypto investing platform Robinhood<\/a> announced the launch of its self-custody Wallet on Jan. 19.<\/p>\n

Robinhood Wallet\u00a0only supports Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) and Polygon (MATIC<\/a>) networks at launch, but it will expand to include other blockchains in the future. Android support is also expected to launch later this year.<\/p>\n
