Summary

  • $156 million in event-contracts revenue helped drive Robinhood’s second-quarter growth, with the prediction-markets business expanding tenfold even as the stock remains 43% below its peak.
  • Equities trading added another lift: Robinhood said Q2 equities revenue jumped 95% from a year earlier during a quarter when the S&P 500 gained 15%.
  • Crypto was the weak spot, with second-quarter cryptocurrency revenue falling 38% year over year as Bitcoin’s decline reversed last year’s boost.
  • 1.9 million funded accounts were added in the quarter, up 7%, while Gold memberships rose by 1.5 million, or 39%, as Robinhood pushes credit, banking and new-market expansion.
