Robinhood's crypto moves

Robinhood has been making moves in crypto in recent days; at the Bitcoin 2022 conference it announced that it's making plans to add the Bitcoin Lightning Network to its platform to enable speedier BTC transactions.

The announcement came some six months after Robinhood announced that it would develop a wallet feature enabling users to deposit and withdraw crypto assets; a beta of the wallet launched in January, allowing select users to transfer Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Shiba Inu's rival meme coin, Dogecoin.
