History

Historical Context

Robinhood’s 2015 launch of a commission-free mobile app, followed by a 2018 cryptocurrency rollout and a 139 % jump in trading volume during Q2 2020, sparked a wave of low-cost investing. Building on that momentum, the platform broadened its product suite, and by 2024 Binance’s UAE arm began offering $5 fractional U.S. stocks, extending the democratization trend.
