Robinhood Shares Drop 4% Despite Earnings Beat as Crypto Revenue Cools

Robinhood (HOOD) exceeded Wall Street's second-quarter earnings expectations but saw its share price decline by 4%, driven by a 38% year-over-year drop in crypto revenue. The brokerage reported adjusted EPS of $0.62, surpassing the $0.43 estimate, with total revenue rising 32% to $1.31 billion. Crypto revenue fell to $100 million from $160 million, while transaction revenue surged due to increased options, equities, and prediction markets activity. CEO Vlad Tenev highlighted the company's product velocity, including the launch of Robinhood Chain and Agentic Trading. Analysts will closely monitor Coinbase's upcoming earnings report, given the two firms' heavy reliance on retail trading and crypto sentiment. Innovations like Anvil further demonstrate the industry's push for on-chain financial integration.
