    When it comes to BSV forks and airdrops, Robinhood follows a specific protocol. During a fork, Robinhood will typically suspend trading of BSV until the fork is complete and the network stabilizes. Once the fork is complete, Robinhood will evaluate the new chain and determine whether to support it or not. If the new chain meets Robinhood's criteria, they will credit users with the new tokens. In the case of airdrops, Robinhood will distribute the airdropped tokens to eligible users based on their BSV holdings at the time of the airdrop. It's important to note that Robinhood may have specific requirements or restrictions for participating in forks and airdrops, so it's always a good idea to check their official announcements and guidelines for more information.

    When a BSV fork occurs, Robinhood takes necessary precautions to ensure the safety of user funds. During the fork, Robinhood may temporarily disable BSV deposits and withdrawals to prevent any potential issues or vulnerabilities. Once the fork is complete and the new chain is deemed stable, Robinhood will enable BSV transactions again and credit users with the new tokens if applicable. As for airdrops, Robinhood will distribute the airdropped tokens to eligible users based on their BSV holdings at the time of the airdrop. It's important for users to keep their BSV in their Robinhood accounts during forks and airdrops to ensure they receive any new tokens or airdropped assets.
