Robinhood Reports $1.27B Revenue with Strong Crypto and Options Growth
Robinhood Markets reported significant third-quarter gains, with results driven by a resurgence in crypto trading and sustained momentum in its options business. The company’s total net revenues reached $1.27 billion, marking a 100% increase year-over-year, supported by higher transaction volumes and user growth.
Crypto Revenues Surge Over 300%
According to Robinhood’s Q3 2025 earnings release and SEC Form 10-Q filing, the platform’s crypto-related revenue climbed to $268 million, a more than 300% increase compared to the same period last year. Transaction-based revenues totaled $730 million, up 129% year-on-year, reflecting contributions from crypto, options trading ($304 million), and equities trading ($86 million).
The company also reported a net income of $556 million, a 271% increase compared to Q3 2024, with diluted earnings per share (EPS) at $0.61. Robinhood’s user metrics strengthened as well, with 2.5 million new funded accounts, bringing the total to 26.8 million funded customers and 27.9 million investment accounts.
Mixed Market Reactions
Despite the headline growth, market sentiment was divided. Some analysts noted that Robinhood’s crypto revenue fell below Wall Street expectations, even as its options business outperformed forecasts. As reported by Yahoo Finance, analysts credited the options segment for stabilizing overall earnings despite uneven crypto trading volumes.
Meanwhile, retail investors shared mixed opinions across social platforms. Some praised the company’s renewed momentum, while others criticized trading conditions and execution quality.
“No one with a big portfolio should be using HOOD. HOOD rips you off on spreads, bad fills — even worse for crypto,” one user posted on X, reflecting ongoing frustration with trade execution costs among advanced traders.
Compliance and Future Expansion
Robinhood reaffirmed that its crypto operations remain fully registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and adhere to all custody and anti–money laundering regulations. During the company’s earnings call, executives emphasized ongoing efforts to expand globally and hinted at new crypto-focused products, though no specific launch dates were provided.
The firm also confirmed continued development of staking features and wallet upgrades aimed at improving accessibility and functionality for crypto users. Management underscored that the primary goal is to boost engagement across its multi-asset platform, focusing on sustainable user growth rather than short-term market-driven activity.
As Robinhood strengthens its position in both traditional and digital asset trading, the company appears intent on building a more diversified and globally competitive platform for the next phase of market evolution.
