Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev said in an interview with Bloomberg that the company is still focused on its global aspirations, and its U.K. expansion is one step toward that.

The move restarts Robinhood’s attempt to reach a more global market.
“Baiju and I started this company as immigrants and children of immigrants, and so, the idea of making our services [...] available to anyone in the world is just the vision that I had in mind from the very beginning,” Tenev explained in the interview.
This is not the first time that Robinhood has attempted to penetrate the U.K. In 2019, the company tried to launch its trading app in the U.K. after receiving approval from the Financial Conduct Authority, a major U.K. However, in 2020, the company announced that it was postponing its U.K. launch and freezing its global expansion plans indefinitely.
