The trading platform announced that it will be releasing a version of its wallet in January.
After months of fine- tuning the new feature during the October alpha testing, Robinhood is now ready to move to the alpha phase, which will be available to more users who want to sign-up.

"While alpha focused on a small group of customers and 1:1 engagement, it will roll out to tens of thousands of customers," Christine Brown, the COO of Robinhood said.

User feedback from the alpha phase included more clarity around gas fees and increased user security.
The company sought feedback from a group of customers on the wallets waitlist.
During the alpha, Robinhood made its first doge coin transfer to an external wallet.

The software testing phase and the software development phase are what users think of.

Some users were given access to pre-released versions of the app while receiving real-time comments.
The platform's alpha program saw over one million sign-ups in less than 30 days.
It's free.

Users of Robinhood have been waiting for a feature that will allow them to store their coins in a wallet.

Users of the app will be able to manage their holdings in a wallet. Users can't store, manage or swap digital assets in and out of their accounts at the moment, making exchanges like Kraken more attractive for traders.

In September, Brown said that the new feature will help the company build towards its goal of being a one-stop-shop service where users can trade stocks and cryptocurrencies.
