Robinhood Markets Inc is launching commission-free stock trading in the UK, marking the international debut of the company that benefitted from the “meme-stock” frenzy of the Covid pandemic.

The Silicon Valley-headquartered firm has started rolling out trading of more than 6,000 US-listed stocks and other securities to British retail investors. For now, users must join a waitlist to get switched on, but the service aims to be immediately available starting in 2024.
