Robinhood to Educate Millions of Users on All Things Avalanche

Validated Project

Starting today, millions of Robinhood ($HOOD) users can earn $AVAX by learning about Avalanche as part of Robinhood’s first blockchain learn-and-earn campaign. Robinhood first made AVAX available for trading, deposit & withdrawal in August this year.

Robinhood has helped onboard a whole new generation into financial services and equities with its zero commission fees and clean user experience. The firm is now looking to do the same with crypto and usher in a new wave of adoption. Its rise reflects the growth of Web3, with some one-third of Millenials and Gen Z purchasing crypto compared to just 4% of Boomers, according to research by Charles Schwab. Further, this same report shows that 22% of Gen Z and 15% of Millennials have made their first investments on an app like Robinhood.

The Avalanche module helps participants quickly learn what sets Avalanche apart from other blockchains, including Avalanche’s:

  • Near-instant transaction finality, which is the fastest among all blockchains
  • Unique approach to infinitely scaling the platform to empower mass adoption
  • Novel Subnet architecture that is enabling individuals and enterprises like Deloitte and Lemonade to build custom, application-specific blockchains
  • Superior interoperability with the core building blocks of DeFi and digital collectibles today, as well as its ability to expand support for any emergent language or ecosystem

Robinhood notes that the Avalanche campaign comes at an “extremely important time” for crypto, which has propelled Robinhood Crypto to empower new and existing users with more educational resources that both get back to the basics and showcase world-changing innovations.

“It is excellent to see an industry leader like Robinhood taking charge to put education at the forefront of its user experience, so that their customers can become more educated investors, and users of AVAX,” said John Nahas, VP of Business Development at Ava Labs. “We’re excited to be the first feature of Robinhood’s learn-and-earn program, which will help to make crypto more accessible and onboard new users into the growing Avalanche community.”

  • French Finance Committee Approves Amendments on Stablecoin Exchange Tax and Crypto Exit Tax

    On October 10, Decrypt reported that the Finance Committee of the French National Assembly approved two amendments related to cryptocurrency taxation this week: starting January 1, 2027, exchanges of stablecoins regulated under MiCA will be considered taxable sales; and an exit tax will be imposed on taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least six of the past ten years and have moved abroad with crypto assets totaling over 800,000 euros. On October 9, the committee voted 31 to 3 to reject the budget revenue portion, and the full National Assembly will review based on the government's original text. The amendments will not be automatically included; supporters must reintroduce them during the debate starting on October 13, with a formal vote scheduled for October 20. The related measures have not yet become law. The stablecoin amendment was proposed by Nicolas Sansu, a member of the left-wing GDR party group, along with 16 co-signers, and does not set a new tax rate but aims to include the revenue under France's existing 31.4% flat tax system. The committee also passed an amendment allowing crypto asset losses to be carried forward for ten years to offset future gains.
