Robinhood Enters Indonesia With Brokerage and Crypto Trader Acquisition

Published at 2025-12-08 01:15:09

Robinhood Markets announced on Dec. 7, 2025 that it will acquire Indonesian brokerage Buana Capital Sekuritas and licensed digital asset trader Pedagang Aset Kripto. The deals give the U.S. retail trading platform local regulated entities and represent its first formal entry into Indonesia, a key Southeast Asian hub for crypto adoption and retail trading.

The move positions Robinhood to offer brokerage and crypto trading services to Indonesian users and accelerates its international expansion beyond core markets. Execution will depend on integration with local licensing and competition from established exchanges, but the acquisitions signal a strategic focus on regulated on‑the‑ground operations as Robinhood seeks growth in fast‑growing crypto markets.
