Users must have an active Robinhood Crypto account to claim the reward, which will be available through notifications within one week after the countdown ends. Unclaimed rewards will expire after 30 days.

The trading platform requires recipients to maintain the reward value in their Robinhood account for at minimum one year, with the amount trackable through account history and statements.

While the exact nature of the “New Year’s surprise” remains undisclosed, social media posts suggest it could involve Bitcoin or other digital assets. Users need to have the latest version of the Robinhood app and an established crypto wallet to participate.

Eligible users who miss the initial notification can still claim their reward through the platform’s Reward center, though the one-year holding requirement remains in effect.
