Robinhood, a US-based trading and investment platform, is entering Indonesia via two acquisitions, an established local brokerage and a licensed crypto asset trader, to gain regulatory footholds and accelerate its Southeast Asian expansion. The move targets a large, fast-growing dual market of equities and crypto investors, aligning with Robinhood’s strategy to internationalize its retail trading model while leveraging local compliance and customer bases. Strategically, this continues Robinhood’s acquisition-led global growth playbook, though execution hinges on regulatory approval and its ability to differentiate in a competitive landscape of emerging-market fintechs.
