Robinhood looks to be getting in on the “Trump pump.”

(Sherwood Media is an independent subsidiary of Robinhood Markets.)

The retail-friendly exchange announced today that it has listed four new crypto tokens: Solana, pepe, cardano, and XRP. The move to expand its crypto offerings — in this case, on its US platform — comes as the crypto industry embraces what it views as a new regulatory era following the reelection of Donald Trump.

Trump ran a loudly pro-crypto campaign, with the former president pitching a bitcoin stockpile and promising to fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler, whom the industry has called anti-crypto.

Robinhood’s move to make solana and cardano available for trading is noteworthy as the exchange delisted the tokens in June 2023 on its US platform.

Fortune reported on Robinhood’s statement to customers at that time:

“Earlier this week the SEC sued crypto companies Binance and Coinbase and alleged that a number of cryptocurrencies are unregistered securities.... This introduced a cloud of uncertainty around these assets, and as a result, our team has decided to end support for them.”

Today’s relisting suggests that cloud of regulatory uncertainty may be burning off.

Meme coins are low-key back to start the year, with pepe taking the early lead in 2026 gains

The meme-based pepe is the fastest horse in the crypto race in the new year so far, with the price of the cryptocurrency increasing 34% in the last 24 hours.

The price swing resulted in the liquidation of nearly $9.9 million worth of pepe short positions in the last 24 hours, data from CoinGlass shows. 

The frog-based coin has seen a 24-hour trading volume of nearly $1.6 billion and is not the only meme coin outpacing the broader crypto market.

Dogecoin, shiba inu, and PUMP have each risen between 8.4% and 10.9% in the last 24 hours, joining pepe as the top gainers in the period, a sign of life for meme tokens, which as a category lost more than half their value last year.
