IMG SOURCE: Bitcoin News Prominent investment and trading platform Robinhood is getting set to allow users to hold and have custody over their own digital assets in a stand-alone app. This move forms part of the company's efforts to expand outside of traditional stock trading, putting it directly in competition with similar platforms like Coinbase and MetaMask. According to Robinhood, the separate app will enable its users to store NFTs and connect to other marketplaces and decentralized stock exchanges. It is also expected to give users access to a wide array of crypto assets on other exchanges and traders may also earn yields — another way in which investments can be made profitable — through other platforms. The topic of custody over cryptocurrencies has been a notable issue surrounding the industry with some traders fearing for the security of their digital assets if they are stored in an exchange.
