Revenue from cryptocurrency-related trading nearly doubled, accounting for about 30% of the trading segment.
Written by: ChandlerZ, Foresight News
On July 30, the American fintech platform Robinhood released its Q2 2025 financial report, continuing its strong growth momentum, particularly in the cryptocurrency sector.
The company's total net revenue reached $989 million, a year-on-year increase of 45%, with a net profit of $386 million, up 105% compared to the same period last year. The diluted earnings per share rose from $0.21 in the same period last year to $0.42, doubling in growth. This quarter, Robinhood delivered solid results in revenue, profit, and user growth.
Strong quarterly financial performance, with increasing platform activity
The number of active funded accounts on the platform reached 26.5 million, an increase of 2.3 million year-on-year, with a total of 27.4 million investment accounts. Along with the increase in user numbers, the platform's assets have significantly expanded. As of the end of June 2025, the total assets under custody on the Robinhood platform reached $279 billion, with an annual growth rate approaching double. This growth primarily stems from continued net deposits from clients and a rebound in overall market valuations.
User activity also showed a positive trend. The average revenue per user (ARPU) was $151, a year-on-year increase of 34%. In terms of net deposits, the company recorded $13.8 billion this quarter, totaling $57.9 billion over the past twelve months, a year-on-year increase of 41%. This data reflects enhanced customer stickiness and improved fund retention capabilities. The number of Robinhood Gold subscription service users reached 3.5 million, with an annual growth rate of 76%. The Gold service adopts a membership pricing model at $5 per month, with annualized subscription revenue reaching $176 million, providing a stable source of cash flow.
In terms of trading activity, the volume of options contracts reached 515 million, and the nominal trading volume of stocks was $517 billion, both hitting historical highs. Robinhood continues to enhance support for active trading users, including product iterations such as charting tools, simulated earnings displays, and options analysis modules, helping the company further attract high-frequency trading user groups.
Rapid growth in cryptocurrency business, with Bitstamp acquisition contributing incremental revenue
The most noteworthy segment this quarter came from Robinhood's cryptocurrency asset business. The company disclosed that cryptocurrency trading revenue was $160 million, a year-on-year increase of 98%. The nominal trading volume of cryptocurrencies within the Robinhood App was $28 billion, up 32% year-on-year. Additionally, the acquisition of Bitstamp completed in June brought in $7 billion in trading volume, marking its first inclusion in the financial statements. Based on this, Robinhood's total cryptocurrency trading volume for the quarter reached $35 billion, making it the fastest-growing segment in trading operations.
The inclusion of Bitstamp not only expanded trading volume but, more importantly, provided Robinhood with institutional trading channels and global regulatory qualifications. Bitstamp holds over 50 global cryptocurrency licenses, with 90% of its trading volume coming from institutional users, charging an average fee of 5 basis points per transaction, becoming a key component of Robinhood's emerging revenue.
In addition to Bitstamp, Robinhood also plans to complete the acquisition of the Canadian platform WonderFi, with the transaction expected to close in the second half of 2025. Through this acquisition, the company will expand its digital asset service capabilities in Canada and further enter markets outside North America.
On the product front, Robinhood continues to iterate in the cryptocurrency sector. In Q2 2025, the company expanded its service coverage to 30 European countries, significantly higher than the 4 countries it served in the same period last year. Robinhood also launched a "stock token" product, allowing users to trade tokenized versions of over 200 U.S. stocks and ETFs in Europe. In the U.S. market, the company has launched staking services for ETH and SOL, with plans to introduce cryptocurrency perpetual contracts.
The company is also developing Robinhood Chain, a foundational technology platform that will support future on-chain trading and asset management. These initiatives not only expand Robinhood's technological capabilities in the digital asset space but also enhance its compliance coverage and product diversity across multiple regions.
Expanding business boundaries, increasingly diverse financial service forms
In addition to trading and cryptocurrency businesses, Robinhood is gradually laying out a product system centered on account management and wealth tools. In Q2 2025, assets in Robinhood Retirement accounts reached $19 billion, a year-on-year increase of 118%. The growth of this long-term capital enhances the stability of platform assets and the lifetime value of users.
Robinhood Strategies, launched earlier this year, is also beginning to scale. This digital asset allocation service currently manages over $500 million in assets and serves over 100,000 users, establishing an initial pool of passively managed user assets. The company is also gradually rolling out the Robinhood Gold Card credit card, with 300,000 customers having activated the card this quarter, linking trading accounts with consumption scenarios to increase users' capital share on the platform.
In terms of revenue structure, the company's total operating expenses for Q2 were $550 million, a year-on-year increase of 12%. Adjusted operating expenses were $444 million, with growth kept within 9%. The company updated its full-year operating expense expectations in the financial report, estimating adjusted operating expenses and stock-based compensation costs to be between $2.15 billion and $2.25 billion, slightly above the target set at the beginning of the year.
As of the end of the quarter, Robinhood held $4.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents, providing a solid financial foundation for future business expansion and buyback plans. In terms of shareholder returns, the company has repurchased $703 million in common stock over the past 12 months and stated that it will continue to execute the remaining authorization, with the buyback pace adjustable based on market conditions.
Future roadmap
Robinhood outlined its future development directions in the financial report, divided into three core areas: deepening trading tools, expanding customer assets, and international market expansion.
In terms of trading tools, Robinhood will continue to iterate features around active traders. Robinhood Legend will introduce new features such as a prediction market module, simulated earnings tools, and cross-asset chart analysis, strengthening technical support for high-frequency users. The Cortex intelligent analysis system will also be launched in more scenarios to assist users in making more detailed investment judgments.
In terms of account systems and capital coverage, Robinhood plans to launch Robinhood Banking in the fall of 2025, integrating checking, savings, and wealth management to build a closed asset custody and payment platform. The company will also expand the issuance of the Robinhood Gold Card and link it with the trading rewards system to enhance user stickiness.
International business is a key expansion focus for the company in 2025. Robinhood has fully entered 30 European countries and launched localized trading services in the UK. The company plans to enter the Asia-Pacific market in the coming quarters and has already initiated financial licensing application processes in several regions.
In the cryptocurrency ecosystem, the company will continue to expand product boundaries, launching cryptocurrency perpetual contracts in the European market and promoting the development of Robinhood Chain to build on-chain infrastructure for its services. After the integration of the two trading platforms, Bitstamp and WonderFi, the company will have cryptocurrency capabilities aimed at both institutional and retail clients in Europe and the U.S., providing a foundation for a global business model.
