Robinhood Q2 Results: Crypto Revenue Declines, but Profitable Overall
Robinhood, the popular trading platform, reported its Q2 results, showing a profit for the first time since going public. However, the company’s revenue from cryptocurrency transactions saw a decline in the same quarter.
- Crypto revenue fell 18% to $31 million.
- New transaction-based funding also saw a decline, with options falling 5% to $127 million and equities falling 7% to $25 million.
- Company revenue for the past year fell by 4%, from $202 million to $193 million.
Despite the decline in crypto revenue, Robinhood exceeded analysts’ expectations by earning $25 million or 3 cents per share on revenue of $486 million.
Robinhood’s Milestone: GAAP Profit Achieved
Vlad Tenev, the CEO and co-founder of Robinhood, expressed the milestone of achieving GAAP profit for the first time as a public company. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles, which are standardized accounting guidelines that companies use to prepare their financial statements.
Robinhood remains committed to growth in the industry and plans to introduce a non-custodial wallet later this year, offering customers more control over their cryptocurrencies.
Hot Take: Cryptocurrency Revenue Decline Doesn’t Dampen Robinhood’s Overall Success
While Robinhood experienced a decline in its revenue from cryptocurrency transactions, the company’s overall profitability and its achievement of GAAP profit mark a significant milestone. This demonstrates Robinhood’s ability to navigate the challenges of the cryptocurrency market, and its plans for further growth, including the introduction of a non-custodial wallet, show its commitment to providing more control to its customers.
