Robinhood’s Acquisition of WonderFi Approved by Canadian Regulators
Canada’s investment industry regulator, CIRO, has approved Robinhood’s acquisition of digital asset products and services company WonderFi. WonderFi stated that the transaction will help Robinhood enhance its programmable financial products capabilities and expand Canadian users’ access to cryptocurrency trading. Originally scheduled for completion in the second half of last year, the acquisition has been extended to June 1, 2026, to allow Robinhood time to deploy its proprietary technology in Canada and complete regulatory approvals. WonderFi’s portfolio includes Bitbuy and Coinsquare, with operations spanning cryptocurrency trading, staking, and custody.
