Settlement & Withdrawal Holds
Robinhood must follow SEC and FINRA settlement rules.
Settlement timing after selling assets
- Stock & ETF sales: T+2 (funds settle 2 business days after the trade)
- Options: T+1
- Crypto: Instant settlement
Security holds
Certain deposits have withdrawal restrictions:
- ACH deposits: Typically 5 business days before eligible for withdrawal
- Instant deposits: May have extended hold periods
- Large transfers: May trigger additional review
Selling stocks right after an instant deposit does not make the deposit withdrawable. You can trade with it, but you cannot withdraw it until settlement/hold periods clear.
