Crypto security

Here are just some of the ways we keep your crypto secure.

Crypto that you purchase on Robinhood Crypto are stored in a mix of cold (offline) storage and hot (online) storage. The majority of your coins are held in cold storage, though some coins are held in hot wallets to support day-to-day operations.

We hold the majority of your coins in cold storage, entirely disconnected from the internet. This gives you an additional layer of protection.

We also carry crime insurance that protects a portion of the assets held across our storage systems against losses from theft, including cybersecurity breaches. The policy is underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s, the world’s leading insurance marketplace, and placed by Lloyd’s registered broker, Aon.

Our security team routinely reviews code and infrastructure for Robinhood Crypto. We also engage third-party security experts to test our systems, helping us build some of the most secure systems in the industry.

We practice strict operational security when managing crypto. For example, coin transfers require authorization from a select group of people. For added security, we constantly rotate this list of people, which isn't disclosed internally or externally.
