Moving crypto off a trading app is simple until a send is refused. Apps that hold your coins for you usually cap how much can leave each day, and many also hold back coins bought with a bank deposit that has not cleared yet. Knowing which of the two is stopping you tells you whether to wait, send less, or fund differently.
On Robinhood Crypto, three separate numbers decide how much can leave: the daily withdrawal limit on your account, the cap on Robinhood Connect purchases sent to outside wallets, and the settlement wait on coins bought with instant funds. Each one sits on a different screen and runs on its own schedule, so a figure copied from a forum rarely matches yours.
Once you can read all three, sizing a send takes a minute. Check the limit in the app, check for pending bank transfers, and keep the amount plus the network fee under what the app shows.
What is a Robinhood crypto withdrawal limit?
A Robinhood crypto withdrawal limit is the amount of crypto you can still send from your Robinhood Crypto account to an outside address. It is set for your account from factors such as your verification level, transaction history and preferred payment methods. Crypto deposits, by contrast, stay unlimited (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers).
Because those inputs come from your own account record, two people can see different limits on the same day, and your own figure can move from one day to the next as your recent activity changes. The limit can also rise over time as that record grows. A manual increase is unavailable at present, because the figure follows your account's own activity (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers). Moves between two of your own Robinhood accounts stay inside Robinhood, and how to send crypto between Robinhood accounts walks through them.
A withdrawal limit is only one of the reasons part of your crypto can stay in your Robinhood Crypto account. The others are holds tied to specific coins. Coins bought with buying power from Robinhood's Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS) bonus campaign stay put while that bonus is inside its hold period. Coins bought with instant funds stay put until the bank transfer behind them fully clears. Reaching the daily limit blocks the rest. Funding methods and other factors make up a final, open-ended group of reasons (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers).
Before any limit applies, crypto transfers have to be switched on for your account. You turn them on by completing Robinhood's Verify It's You identity check, which is usually approved quickly but can take up to 5 business days while Robinhood reviews your information (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers). The same check appears when you log in or update account details, and two-factor authentication (2FA) protects the account by asking for something you know, your password, plus something you have (source: Robinhood, Verify It's You). Until the review finishes you cannot send crypto out at all, so the daily limit only starts to matter once transfers are on.
How to check your Robinhood crypto withdrawal limit
Your current crypto withdrawal limit is in the Robinhood app under Account, then Menu, then Crypto, and you can open that screen whenever you like. Check it on the day you plan to send, because the figure can change daily (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers). Your transfer history matters just as much.
- Open the Robinhood app and tap Account (the person icon).
- Tap Menu (the three bars).
- Tap Crypto and note your crypto transfer limits, along with the date you checked.
- Go back to Account and open History.
- Look for any bank transfer still marked as pending, and note the date it is expected to land.
- Compare the two. If a pending bank transfer paid for the coins you want to send, plan to send coins that settled earlier, or wait for the transfer to land.
History shows each pending transfer with the date it should arrive, which is how you spot coins still waiting on settlement before you try to move them (source: Robinhood, Crypto Account Funding).
The network fee is the last number that has to fit under the limit. Every on-chain transfer pays one, and its size depends on the coin and how busy its network is. Robinhood shows the estimate before you finalize the send. On a normal send, the estimate is added on top of the amount you type, so the account gives up a little more than you entered. With Send All, the fee comes out of the total instead. The receiving address then gets slightly less than your full balance (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers).
That gives you one sizing rule: the amount you type plus the fee estimate should stay under the figure on the Crypto screen. If the screen shows less than you need, send part now and the rest on a later day, after you have checked the figure again.
Size is only half of a safe send. Each coin moves on a specific network. Sending to an incompatible network can lose the funds permanently (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers). Match the network against the networks Robinhood supports before you paste an address. The full Send walkthrough, with address checks, is in how to withdraw crypto from Robinhood.
Holds that keep part of your crypto in the account
A hold keeps specific coins in your Robinhood account even when your daily withdrawal limit still has room. One common hold covers coins bought with instant funds from a bank transfer that has not settled. The other covers coins bought with ACATS bonus buying power during the bonus hold period (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers).
Instant funds let you buy before a bank deposit lands. With Instant Deposits you may be able to trade with part of a pending deposit right away, while the money itself can take up to 5 business days to arrive from your bank. In some cases a Robinhood Gold subscription, at $5 monthly or $50 annually, gives you bigger Instant Deposits (source: Robinhood, About Instant Deposits).
Crypto bought with that money can be sent out once normal settlement times have passed. The exception is an account holding other assets worth more than the unsettled transfers, in which case the instant-bought coins can move sooner. A Robinhood Instant account can usually spend up to $1,000 of buying power on crypto straight away, and Gold extends that to your Gold tier amount, with anything above it arriving after normal settlement. Money from selling stocks, ETFs or options can be used to buy crypto within 3 business days. Crypto sale proceeds and limited cash deposits are generally usable at once in instant accounts (source: Robinhood, Crypto Account Funding).
Those buying-power figures matter for withdrawals because they tell you which part of your balance is instant-bought. Anything you bought with instant money is the part that waits on settlement before it can leave, however much room the Crypto screen shows.
The ACATS bonus hold works differently. It covers only the coins bought with the bonus buying power, and it lasts as long as that campaign's hold period, so read the terms of the bonus you received before you count those coins as withdrawable. If a send is refused and none of these reasons fits, the cause falls in the open-ended group of funding methods and other factors, which can depend on how you paid for the coins.
Sizing an ETH send under your daily limit
Sizing an ETH send on Robinhood means three checks in order: whether the coins have settled, how much the Crypto screen says can leave today, and whether the amount plus the network fee estimate fits under that figure. Coins that pass all three can leave, and a coin that fails any one of them stays in the account.
Say you hold 2.00 ETH bought weeks ago with a bank transfer that landed long since, and the Crypto screen shows a remaining limit of 1.80 ETH (an example figure; read your own). You want 0.50 ETH on another platform. The coins have settled, so only size and fee remain. With an example fee estimate of 0.002 ETH at Review, 0.502 ETH leaves the account, well under 1.80 ETH. Paste the Ethereum deposit address the other platform gave you, enter 0.50 ETH, then select Review and Submit.
A common mistake is sending coins bought the same morning. Say you buy 1.20 ETH with instant funds, History still shows the bank transfer as pending, and you hold nothing else. Those 1.20 ETH stay in the account until the transfer settles, even though the Crypto screen shows 1.80 ETH of room, so the fix is to wait for History to show the deposit as landed. If you also held the 2.00 ETH of settled coins from the first example, worth more than the unsettled transfer, the instant-bought ETH could be sent sooner (source: Robinhood, Crypto Account Funding).
Once you know how much ETH can leave, the next decision is where it goes. If you want another way to trade ETH after it leaves Robinhood, you can send it to BloFin and trade it on the ETH/USDT Spot market or the ETHUSDT Perpetual contract. The Robinhood side of that move is the same as the first example, with the ETH deposit address BloFin shows for the Ethereum network, as covered in Ethereum deposits and withdrawals on BloFin.
Before you size the transfer, you can check the live price and order book on the ETH/USDT Spot page.
Robinhood Connect transfer limits
Robinhood Connect is Robinhood's tool for buying crypto and moving it between your Robinhood account and a self-custody wallet or decentralized app (dapp). It carries its own published caps: the on-ramp allows $5,000 of crypto or 10 transfers, whichever comes first, in any 24-hour period (source: Robinhood, Robinhood Connect).
Paying for a Connect purchase has separate caps by funding method. A debit card linked to a Robinhood investing account can buy $1,000 to $3,000 per business day, and bank-account instant funds have the same $1,000 to $3,000 daily range. A debit card tied to a Robinhood Spending account follows that account's transfer limits, found in the app under Transfers, then Transfer limits, with at most 5 daily Connect deposits of up to $500 each, fees included. Robinhood buying power and crypto transfers carry no Connect fee, debit cards and bank accounts cost 0.0% to 1.5%, and every on-chain Connect transaction still pays a network fee (source: Robinhood, Robinhood Connect).
On the off-ramp side, Connect sets no amount limit on crypto deposits. Connect is available in every US state except New York, and in Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. Residents of North Carolina, Hawaii and Puerto Rico need a Robinhood brokerage account to use it. In North Carolina, Connect purchases can only use Robinhood buying power (source: Robinhood, Robinhood Connect).
Here is how the caps play out. Say you pay for ETH worth $4,200 through a Connect button inside a self-custody wallet app, using Robinhood buying power. That purchase uses one of your 10 transfers and leaves $800 under the $5,000 cap for the rest of that 24-hour period. Your brokerage Crypto screen keeps its own figure for a normal Send, so check both screens before you plan a second transfer the same day. More on how the product works is in Robinhood Connect explained.
How to send ETH from Robinhood to BloFin
To send ETH from Robinhood to BloFin, copy your BloFin ETH deposit address on the Ethereum network, confirm that your Robinhood withdrawal limit covers the amount plus the network fee, then send from the ETH detail page in Robinhood. The transfer is final once submitted, so the address and network checks come first.
- On BloFin, open the deposit screen, choose ETH, select the Ethereum network, and copy the deposit address.
- In Robinhood, open Account, Menu, Crypto to read your withdrawal limit, then Account, History to check for pending bank transfers.
- Open the ETH detail page and select Send.
- Paste the BloFin address, then compare its first and last characters with the BloFin screen.
- Enter an amount that, with the fee estimate added, fits under your limit.
- Select Review, confirm the address, network and fee, then select Submit.
- Wait for the deposit to credit on BloFin once the network confirmations are in.
Review is the last point where you can change anything. Crypto transfers are final, and once sent, Robinhood cannot cancel or reverse them. A single wrong character in the address, or an incompatible network, can lose the funds for good, and some coins also need a memo or tag to arrive (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers). For on-chain transfers, "Mistakes can be extremely costly." (source: CFPB, Risks to consumers posed by virtual currencies).
Moving ETH back the other way is the same process in reverse. Select Receive on the ETH detail page in Robinhood, copy the address shown there, and paste it into BloFin's withdrawal screen with Ethereum as the network. Every coin in a Robinhood account has its own deposit address. Use the address shown under Receive every time you move coins in (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers). How to deposit crypto on Robinhood covers the inbound wait in more detail.
Looking to trade ETH after your Robinhood transfer lands? To get started, you'll need to first create a BloFin account, fund your account with cryptocurrency, and navigate to the ETH/USDT Spot trading page or the ETHUSDT Perpetual page.
Frequently asked questions
Does a joint account share Instant Deposit access with my individual accounts?
A joint investing account has its own Instant Deposit limit, kept apart from your individual investing accounts. It is calculated from the joint account's portfolio value on the prior day, minus any pending deposits. That matters for crypto sends, because coins bought with instant money in the joint account wait on the joint account's own deposit. Check that account's History before you send from it, even when your individual accounts show nothing pending (source: Robinhood, About Instant Deposits).
Is Instant Deposit access shared across several individual accounts?
Instant Deposit access is pooled across every self-directed individual investing account you hold. The limit is based on their combined portfolio value, and using Instant Deposit access for a transfer into one account reduces what is left for the others (source: Robinhood, About Instant Deposits). For crypto, a large instant-funded buy in one account can leave less instant buying room in the rest, and every coin bought that way still waits for its own bank transfer to settle before it can leave.
Can selling crypto through Robinhood Connect raise how much I can send?
Selling through Connect turns crypto into Robinhood buying power, with no fee on the sale (source: Robinhood, Robinhood Connect). That buying power can fund later purchases, either through Connect or in the brokerage account. It leaves your send room unchanged, because the sale removes those coins from your balance. The amount you can move out still comes from the withdrawal limit on your brokerage Crypto screen, applied to coins that have already settled.
Do I need an ETH balance to send an ERC-20 token?
Sending an ERC-20 token on Ethereum costs a network fee paid in Ether (ETH), but Robinhood works out the ETH equivalent and takes it from the token balance itself, so you need no separate ETH. Supported ERC-20 tokens include Chainlink (LINK), Uniswap (UNI), Shiba Inu (SHIB) and USDC. Your ETH balance cannot be used to pay that fee, which means the token balance has to cover both the amount you send and the fee (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers).
Does turning on address allowlisting pause Robinhood withdrawals?
Address allowlisting restricts withdrawals to addresses you have approved, and once switched on it applies to every withdrawal until you turn it off. Adding a new address or changing the setting starts a 48-hour maturation period, meant to stop anyone who takes over the account from moving funds at once. During that hold you can still send to addresses already on the list, while sends to new addresses wait until it ends. The setting is under Account, then Menu (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers).
Where should crypto go when I send it back into Robinhood after a withdrawal?
Send it to the address your Robinhood account generates under Receive for that coin. The sender address that appears on a Robinhood withdrawal belongs to Robinhood's operational crypto accounts, so coins sent back to it might never be credited to you. For ETH and ERC-20 tokens your deposit address stays the same between deposits, because Ethereum uses an account-based model. For coins whose address can change, Robinhood suggests a new address for each deposit, for privacy (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers).
Does Robinhood take a cut of the network fee on a withdrawal?
Robinhood charges no extra fee to send or receive crypto, and none of the network fee goes to Robinhood. The whole fee is collected by the network that processes the transfer, and its size rises when that network is busy. Because you see the fee estimate before you finalize, a high estimate is a reason to wait for a quieter moment before you submit, especially on a small send where the fee is a large share of the amount (source: Robinhood, Crypto Transfers).
