Robinhood reported $1.31 billion in revenue for Q2 2026, well beyond Wall Street’s predictions, alongside earnings per share of $0.62. This beats analyst forecasts by a wide margin, revealing a company capitalizing on diverse revenue streams while grappling with a notable decline in crypto trading activity.
Transaction Revenue and Prediction Markets Accelerate Growth
Transaction-based revenue soared to $776 million, marking a 44% increase year-over-year. Prediction markets emerged as a breakout segment, generating $156 million more than ten times the revenue from the previous year. This surge shows Robinhood’s success in tapping into new, regulated financial products that resonate with its user base.
Crypto Revenue Slides Amid Broader Expansion
In contrast, digital asset trading revenue fell 38% compared to last year, settling at $100 million. Despite this setback, CEO Vlad Tenev highlighted Robinhood’s expansion across 13 business lines, each exceeding $100 million in annualized revenue. the platform’s assets climbed to $369 billion, up 32% annually, fueled by record net deposits nearing $22 billion.
July saw the launch of Trump Accounts, attracting over 7 million sign-ups and $1.5 billion in deposits. Robinhood also debuted the public mainnet for Robinhood Chain and completed its acquisition of WonderFi, enhancing its global reach. The premium subscription service, Robinhood Gold, expanded its user base to 4.8 million, increasing subscribers by 39% compared to last year.

These dynamics reveal a company positioning itself as a hybrid financial platform poised for sustained growth.
