Crypto Push: Robinhood Buys WonderFi, Bitbuy, Coinsquare

by

Robinhood Markets will acquire Toronto-based WonderFi in a $250 million all-cash deal, offering $0.36 per share—a 41% premium on WonderFi’s last TSX close. The transaction brings 1.7 million users, $2.1 billion in client assets, and crypto platforms Bitbuy and Coinsquare under Robinhood’s control.

WonderFi’s team will join Robinhood’s Canadian operations, which already employ 140 staff in Toronto. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. Robinhood aims to grow its Canadian footprint and expand in crypto, as deregulation efforts under U.S. President Donald Trump reshape the sector.
