This is something that shows that large companies are involved in the crypto industry and know how to handle Bitcoin transactions, deposits, transactions and more. Holding a large wallet with several billions in custody is not an easy task, and Robinhood is showing that they are ready to continue increasing the amount of BTC they have hoarded.Â
However, there have been users who believe that this wallet belongs to other holders. For example, the user @MartyPartyMusic on Twitter wrote that the wallet could be owned by Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.Â
Nevertheless, most users and the community consider that the wallet is owned by Coinbase Markets Inc and that Coinbase is not related to this wallet.Â
