Robinhood's crypto trading revenue hit $100 million in Q2, dropping 38% from last year even as the brokerage reported record overall revenue of $1.31 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $0.62, surpassing analyst expectations. The decline in crypto income was offset by a surge in options, equities, and prediction markets activity, which helped push total revenue 32% higher year-over-year.
Despite strong financial fundamentals, Robinhood's stock dropped around 4% in after-hours trading following the earnings release, adding to recent losses. CEO Vlad Tenev highlighted the company's accelerated product development, including the launch of Robinhood Chain for tokenized U.S. stocks in Europe and new AI-powered trading tools designed to automate investing while keeping user controls intact.
The Robinhood Chain has quickly seen hundreds of millions of dollars in daily decentralized exchange volume, offering tokenized shares of companies like GameStop, Nvidia, and SpaceX. This expansion into blockchain-based assets stems from Robinhood’s broader ambition to make financial ownership more accessible. Meanwhile, industry players continue boosting crypto infrastructure to keep pace with evolving investor demands.
