Robinhood US now supports INJ transfers. You can trade USD for INJ, send it from Robinhood, and receive it in a self custody wallet on Injective.

The direct route uses native INJ. No bridge is required. Robinhood lists INJ among its supported transfer assets and lists one network confirmation for INJ deposits.

Keplr is the primary wallet in this tutorial because it displays the native Injective address that begins with inj. A standard MetaMask address begins with 0x and does not replace that native address in this flow.

What You Need

To complete this tutorial, you need:

  • A verified Robinhood Crypto account
  • A Keplr or Metamask wallet with Injective available
  • Enough buying power to purchase INJ

Robinhood's transfer verification can take up to five business days.

Step 1. Copy your Injective address from Keplr

Open Keplr and select Injective from the network list.

Copy the address shown for the account. A native Injective address begins with inj.

Check the first and final characters after copying it.

Step 2. Trade USD for INJ on Robinhood

Open Robinhood and search for Injective or INJ.

Select Buy. Enter the amount, choose the available order option, review the purchase, and submit it.

Wait for INJ to appear as an available balance. Unsettled funding and transfer limits can restrict the amount you can send.

Step 3. Send INJ to Keplr

Open the INJ detail page in Robinhood and select Send.

Paste the native Injective address copied from Keplr. Enter the amount you want to send.

Confirm these fields before continuing.

  1. The asset is INJ.
  2. The destination is the Keplr address you copied.
  3. The address begins with inj.
  4. The displayed network matches Injective.
  5. The amount leaves enough room for the estimated network fee.

Start with a small test transfer. Robinhood displays the network fee before submission and does not add its own transfer fee.

Select Review. Compare the address one more time, then select Submit.

Step 4. Confirm the INJ balance on Injective

Open the Robinhood transfer status and copy the transaction ID. Refresh Keplr and confirm the INJ balance. You can also check the transaction ID or recipient address in InjScan.

Robinhood lists one confirmation for INJ deposits, with an estimated network time of about one second. Its account review can add time.

Keplr and MetaMask use different address formats

Keplr displays the native Injective address used in this tutorial. It begins with inj.

MetaMask displays an EVM address that begins with 0x. Do not paste it into this native route. Use the inj address from Keplr.

If INJ sending is unavailable in your account

Check for a verification prompt, funding hold, transfer limit, or network maintenance. Wait when Robinhood identifies a temporary restriction.

Use USDC as a fallback only when the direct route is not available to your account.

  1. Buy or hold USDC in Robinhood.
  2. Open MetaMask on Ethereum and copy its 0x address.
  3. Send USDC from Robinhood over Ethereum to that MetaMask address.
  4. Add ETH to MetaMask for the bridge transaction fee.
  5. Open the Injective CCTP Bridge.
  6. Set Ethereum as the source and Injective as the destination.
  7. Approve USDC and confirm the transfer in MetaMask.
  8. Confirm the native USDC balance on Injective.

The source selected in Robinhood must match the bridge source. This Ethereum route produces native USDC on Injective.

USDC trading is unavailable through Robinhood Crypto in Texas. Check the live asset and transfer controls before funding this fallback.

Common errors

The Send button is missing

Complete Robinhood's crypto transfer verification. Then check for a funding hold, account restriction, transfer limit, or network maintenance notice.

Robinhood rejects the address

Return to Keplr and copy the address under Injective. Confirm that it begins with inj. Remove spaces and compare the first and final characters.

The full balance is not available

Recent bank funding can remain unsettled. Open Account, Menu, then Crypto to view the current transfer limit.

Keplr does not show the balance

Refresh Keplr and select Injective. Check the recipient and transaction status in InjScan.

USDC reached MetaMask but cannot move

Confirm that the USDC is on Ethereum and that MetaMask has ETH for the network fee. Set Ethereum as the source inside the CCTP Bridge.

Regional availability

Robinhood US and Robinhood Europe support direct INJ transfers. Robinhood Europe documents native inj addresses and requires a memo when receiving INJ into Robinhood.

Robinhood UK does not support crypto deposits or withdrawals to external wallets through its current Bitstamp UK integration. UK users need an exchange that supports outbound native INJ.

Check the live transfer screen before buying.

Move INJ onchain

Your INJ is ready to use once Keplr shows the balance on Injective. Connect Keplr to Injective Hub to access staking, governance, and applications across the network.
