Robinhood Crypto Adds XDC Network Token for Eligible US Customers

Robinhood Crypto added XDC, the native token of the XDC Network, to its lineup for eligible US customers on October 8, 2026, Crypto Briefing reported. The listing is subject to state restrictions, including New York, and Robinhood indicated it received integration fees for supporting XDC.

How the XDC Listing Works

Eligible US users can buy, sell and hold XDC through the Robinhood app, with availability depending on state rules. Robinhood presented XDC as a new asset available alongside Bitcoin and Ether. Robinhood reportedly has around 2.3 million users active in crypto trading.

XDC Network is an enterprise-grade Layer-1 blockchain focused on trade finance, payments and the tokenization of real-world assets, meaning things like invoices, bonds or commodities represented as digital tokens. The network claims finality of about 2 seconds and says it can handle over 2,000 transactions per second, with near-zero transaction fees. XDC Network is also ISO 20022 compliant, a global messaging standard for financial data used in banking. The ecosystem lists institutional partners including Deutsche Telekom, SBI Holdings and Clear Street.

The token was previously listed on Bitstamp in late 2024, following Robinhood's acquisition of that exchange for approximately $200 million. XDC Network co-founder Ritesh Kakkad noted that the listing does not alter the token's underlying utility or fundamentals, but gives institution-focused infrastructure exposure to a much broader audience.
