What do you need before withdrawing?
External withdrawals have been available on Robinhood Crypto since 2022, but not every asset supports them. Look for a Send or Transfer option on the asset page. You also need a verified identity, two-factor authentication turned on, and no withdrawal hold. Check which network the receiving service expects.

What should you do after withdrawing?
Keep a record of each withdrawal, including the date, amount, transaction ID, receiving address, and cost basis.

Review account security after sending, and keep your password, codes, and wallet seed phrase private. Robinhood will never ask for your seed phrase.
