Its earnings per share of $0.38 and $1.07 billion in revenue missed industry expectations by 11.6% and 6.1%, respectively, contributing to a <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/beta/quote/HOOD:NASDAQ?tab=earnings" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">9.4%</a> fall in Robinhood (HOOD) shares. The company still made a profit, with its net income rising 3% year-on-year to $346 million.
Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev attributed the crypto revenue and trading volume fall to price swings in the market but added that the company is more focused on building <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-shouldnt-treated-seperate-asset-class-asic-fintech-chief" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto infrastructure</a> and integrating assets that have “real-world utility.”
“Price moves up and down, but what I can tell you is crypto as technology infrastructure is going to be big, and we’re investing,” he said, adding: “We’re at the very beginning of what’s going to be a tokenization supercycle.”
Robinhood is one of several trading platforms that have used the bear market to expand their blockchain-based offerings in an effort to capture new revenue streams and broaden retail demand.

Another one of those offerings is Robinhood Predictions, a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/prediction-market-showcase-widsom-of-an-informed-minority-not-the-crowd-study" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">prediction market platform</a> integrated through <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/kalshi-booted-politician-youtuber-insider-trading" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kalshi,</a> which saw a record 8.8 billion event contracts traded on Robinhood in Q1, marking a 780% increase from Q2 2025 — its first full quarter on the market.
Tenev added that Robinhood Predictions is on track to reach around $3 billion in trading volume for April, a figure that would mark its second-highest month since rolling out the product in March 2025.

Robinhood Predictions is part of Robinhood’s “other” trading category, which saw its revenue increase 320% year-on-year to $147 million in Q1, helping offset the crypto-related losses.&nbsp;
Not included in the crypto figures was trading activity from Bitstamp, which was acquired by Robinhood in June 2025. The exchange recorded $42 billion worth of trading volume over the quarter, down 13% from Q4 2025.
