Bitstamp vs Robinhood Crypto
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
On the published entry rate this comparison sorts by, Bitstamp is lower (0.30% maker / 0.40% taker). Robinhood's figure is the exchange-routing taker fee, not the default no-commission route.
Bitstamp
Bitstamp, now branded Bitstamp by Robinhood, publishes a unified spot schedule valid from 9 July 2026. Under $10,000 of 30-day volume the standard pair fee is 0.30% maker and 0.40% taker. Stablecoin and FX pairs are cheaper. This is a different document from Robinhood Crypto's US fee PDF.
0.30% maker / 0.40% taker
Robinhood Crypto
US Robinhood Crypto has two routes. The default market-maker route charges no commission; Robinhood is paid a rebate that sits inside the spread. Exchange routing, used by Legend and some advanced orders, has a published maker/taker table that starts at 0.50% / 0.95%. The Canadian 0.50% fee is a different company schedule and is not the US price.
