There's still no way for users to see their private keys, which means that they don't get full control over their coins and depend on Robinhood to keep them safe.

The company also said it's working on enabling Bitcoin Lightning Network transactions "in the near future." Lightning Network is a system that makes Bitcoin transactions cheaper and faster, while also helping reduce Bitcoin's overall carbon footprint because the transactions happen off-chain and miners aren't needed to validate them.

"Our goal is to make Robinhood the most trusted and easiest to use crypto platform. We're excited to bring even lower costs to our customers by integrating with the Lightning network," Vlad Tenev, CEO and co-founder of Robinhood, said in a statement.
