Once you purchase crypto on Robinhood, Robinhood believes you're the legal owner of the crypto. You have all the rights and benefits of ownership, including the rights to appreciation and depreciation of the crypto.

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 Lloyd’s syndicates, the world’s leading insurance marketplace.

Our Security Team routinely reviews code and infrastructure powering 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. If you’d like to learn more about how you can protect your account, including your cryptocurrencies, check out our Help Center article on security best practices.
