币界网报道:Robinhood has expanded its European trading platform by adding SpaceX and OpenAI as available stocks, marking a strategic move to attract tech-savvy investors in the region. The commission-free trading app, which launched in the EU last December, now enables users to trade shares of Elon Musk’s SpaceX alongside OpenAI, the AI research company behind ChatGPT. This addition comes as Robinhood seeks to differentiate itself in a competitive European market dominated by traditional brokers like eToro and Revolut. The company emphasized its commitment to democratizing finance by offering fractional shares, allowing investors with limited capital to participate. European users can now access these stocks alongside other U.S. equities, though SpaceX remains privately held, with Robinhood facilitating trading through its marketplace for pre-IPO shares. The move aligns with growing European interest in high-growth tech firms, particularly in AI and space exploration. Robinhood’s VP of International, Jordan Sinclair, noted that the expansion reflects customer demand for innovative investment opportunities beyond conventional assets. The platform also plans to introduce more features, including recurring investments and advanced analytics, later this year. While Robinhood faces regulatory scrutiny in the U.S., its European push signals confidence in the region’s retail investing potential. Analysts suggest the addition of high-profile names like SpaceX and OpenAI could boost user acquisition, though profitability in Europe remains a challenge due to lower trading volumes compared to the U.S. The company’s shares rose slightly following the announcement, reflecting investor optimism about its international growth strategy.
