Robinhood <a href="https://investors.robinhood.com/static-files/0b1a9484-a168-4c17-962f-2f370840f486" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">announced</a> on Wednesday that its Q3 transaction-based revenues increased 129% from the same period last year to $730 million, attributing the gain to its $268 million in crypto revenues, which rose more than 300% from the previous year.
The company’s total revenues for the quarter ended Sept. 30 doubled year-over-year to $1.27 billion, beating <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/2786079/robinhood-markets-inc-hood-surpasses-q3-earnings-and-revenue-estimates?art_rec=quote-stock_overview-zacks_news-ID01-txt-2786079" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">analyst</a> expectations of $1.2 billion. Its earnings per share increased 259% to 61 cents, outpacing analyst estimates of 51 cents per share.
Robinhood has traditionally been known for its stock trading platform, but has been pushing to capture retail and institutional crypto users, having completed <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/robinhood-200-million-acquisition-bitstamp" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">an acquisition</a> of Bitstamp in June, along with offering <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/articles/asset-tokenization" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tokenized stocks</a> and prediction markets.
Robinhood finance chief Jason Warnick said its Bitstamp and prediction markets businesses “are generating approximately $100 million or more in annualized revenues.”
Shares in Robinhood (HOOD) ended trading on Wednesday up 4.15% at $142.48, but fell by over 2% after the bell to under $140.

“As a scaled traditional player, but also on the crypto side, I think we’ll have our pick of what’s best in each jurisdiction,” he said. “That’s something we’re definitely closely looking at.”

Tenev said that his company’s tokenized stock offerings “are not as interoperable as we would like, but that’s just because they’re actually not on DeFi yet.”
“Over time, I do expect greater interoperability,” he added. “As you’ve seen with other assets in the crypto world, even if they’re on other chains, the community tends to get involved and build bridges and wrappers, and so I think that that’s less of a concern.”
