Robinhood The latest operational data disclosed shows that the company's nominal transaction volume of crypto assets in August rose to $17.5 billion, a 61% increase from $10.9 billion in July. However, this figure is still 38% lower than $28.1 billion during the same period last year, indicating that although the platform's crypto trading activity has picked up, it has not yet returned to the levels of the previous year.

The company disclosed that this portion of trading volume consists of two parts: Robinhood and Bitstamp. Its main application processed $7.4 billion in encrypted transactions in August, which is a 72% increase from the previous month but a 46% decrease year-over-year. Robinhood acquired Bitstamp in 2025, and that platform contributed $10.1 billion that month, representing a 53% increase from the previous month and accounting for a larger share of the total trading volume. The combined average daily trading volume of the two platforms is approximately $565 million.

Bitstamp contributes over half of the trading volume

Structurally, Bitstamp has become an important support for Robinhood's encryption business. Although the transaction volume on the application side of Robinhood has recovered more quickly, the scale of Bitstamp is larger, indicating that after integrating and acquiring assets, the role of institutionalized and global trading channels is on the rise.

In addition to its encryption services, the overall asset scale of Robinhood platform is also expanding. The company's total platform assets have reached $384 billion, a year-on-year increase of 26%; the number of customers who have made deposits has increased to 28.6 million. The balance of margin loans has risen to $21.5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 72%, reflecting that the platform's overall trading activity continues to grow.

Predicts continued expansion of market transactions

Another piece of data that attracted attention in August comes from the event contracts, which are its predictive market products. In that month, 4.7 billion contracts were traded in this business, a decrease of 23% compared to July, but an increase of about 15 times compared to 300 million contracts in August 2025.

These types of contracts are typically traded in the form of "yes" or "no." If the result is correct, each contract pays out $1; otherwise, it returns to zero. Robinhood provides related products through Kalshi, ForecastEx, and the joint venture platform Rothera. According to previous disclosures by the company, since its launch in June, Rothera has processed over 3.5 billion contracts in total.

In the quarterly performance achieved in July, Robinhood's revenue from event contracts increased by more than 10 times to $156 million year-on-year, surpassing its crypto business to become a more important source of transaction revenue. However, such products are also facing stricter scrutiny from the U.S. Congress. Since January of this year, there have been over a dozen bills proposing restrictions on predictive markets, including proposals to prohibit members of Congress, the president, and other senior officials from trading contracts related to political events.

The trading volume of Layer has increased by 2.

The blockchain business under Robinhood is also expanding. The company's Ethereum Layer 2 network Robinhood Chain reached a daily trading volume of 1.6 billion US dollars on decentralized exchanges as of September 1st, representing a 61% increase from the previous four days. This indicates that Robinhood is extending its business from centralized trading platforms to the on-chain ecosystem.

Additional information:Robinhood The next quarterly financial report is expected to be released on November 4th, and the market will continue to pay attention to its subsequent performance in crypto trading, market forecasting, and on-chain business at that time.
