  No, Robinhood accounts are not insured by the FDIC. The FDIC only insures deposits in traditional banks up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank. Since Robinhood is not a bank, it does not fall under the FDIC's insurance coverage. If Robinhood goes bankrupt, there is no FDIC protection for the funds held in Robinhood accounts.

  Unfortunately, Robinhood accounts are not insured by the FDIC. The FDIC only provides insurance for deposits in banks, and Robinhood is not a bank. This means that if Robinhood were to go bankrupt, there is no guarantee that you would be able to recover your funds. It's important to keep this in mind when considering where to hold your assets.

  No, Robinhood accounts are not insured by the FDIC. However, Robinhood is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which provides limited protection for securities held in brokerage accounts. The SIPC protects up to $500,000 per customer, including up to $250,000 in cash. It's important to note that this protection only covers the loss of securities and cash in the event that Robinhood fails, and does not cover losses due to market fluctuations or investment performance.
