Robinhood to Acquire Canada’s WonderFi in $180 Million All-Cash Deal
Robinhood has announced plans to acquire Canadian crypto platform WonderFi in an all-cash deal valued at approximately CAD$250 million (approximately USD$180 million), marking a significant expansion of its international digital asset ambitions.
Under the terms of the deal, Robinhood will pay CAD$0.36 per share to acquire all outstanding shares of WonderFi. The deal is expected to close pending regulatory and shareholder approvals.
Once completed, the acquisition will allow Robinhood to deepen its footprint in Canada’s growing crypto market.
WonderFi, known for its user-friendly digital asset trading platform and partnerships with licensed Canadian exchanges, will retain its product offerings post-acquisition. Its team will be integrated into Robinhood Crypto, where they will focus on serving Canadian customers and accelerating crypto innovation in the region.
“This acquisition helps us advance our mission to democratize finance globally,” said Robinhood Crypto General Manager Johann Kerbrat. “WonderFi’s strong presence in Canada gives us a solid foundation as we expand our crypto offerings internationally.”
Robinhood’s move comes amid broader efforts to grow its crypto business globally. The company, which recently launched crypto wallets and expanded its token offerings, is now aiming to gain a foothold in Canada, one of the most active regulated crypto markets.
Backed by high-profile investors like Kevin O’Leary, WonderFi has become a major player in Canada’s digital asset space, particularly after merging with Bitbuy and Coinsquare to create a more robust platform under its own brand.
In a joint statement, the companies highlighted their shared commitment to regulatory compliance and user safety, citing Canada’s strong framework as a key advantage.
If approved, this would be Robinhood’s first major international crypto purchase.
