American financial services titan Robinhood is moving on to the next phase of its crypto wallet launch.
According to a new blog post, the trading company plans to roll out the beta phase for its “Wen Wallets” program in mid-January which will open up the crypto wallets to thousands of customers from Robinhood’s waitlist.
[adinserter block="1"]Robinhood first announced the crypto wallets project in September, saying it planned to kick off an alpha phase with a limited group of customers in October.
The company notes they’re moving into the beta phase after hearing feedback from the group.
“Through our Alpha program, we sought feedback from a tight-knit group of customers from our wallets waitlist.
They tested our first iteration of crypto wallets and shared detailed design and functionality feedback with our team to help us deliver a top-notch experience…
Our customer-centric, design-first approach has been a hallmark of Robinhood since we started. Even though wallets offer a new experience with a different asset class, the Alpha testers wanted it to feel familiar, and that’s what we’ll deliver.”
Currently, Robinhood supports commission-free trading for seven cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin SV (BSV), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), and Litecoin (LTC).
