  When trading cryptocurrencies on Robinhood, you may be required to submit a W-9 form. This is because Robinhood is a regulated financial institution and is required by law to collect certain information from its users. The W-9 form is used to collect your taxpayer identification number (TIN), such as your Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN). This information is necessary for tax reporting purposes.
