In response to the speculations fueled by social media, <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/crypto-leaders-opines-on-robinhood-fiasco-importance-of-freedom-in-market/">Robinhood suspended instant fiat deposits</a> on January 29 and chalked up this decision as a reaction to unsuitable market conditions.  However, the instant deposits were reinstated by February 4 for crypto purchases.

At the times of increasing trust issues of centralized service providers, this decision to stretch services related to cryptocurrency is not believed by everyone to help Robinhood regain the credibility they lost due to <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/robinhood-trading-app-crashes-traders-face-technical-problems/">their recent actions</a>.

Robinhood cleared the cryptocurrency wallet rumors in a tweet, stating:

“Cryptocurrencies purchased and owned by our customers are held in our wallets for the benefit of our customers. Additionally, we only receive coins when our customer’s trades have already settled.”

Experts have expressed doubts particularly about the functioning of this deposit and withdrawal process as it directly establishes a relation of customer access to private keys.
