Robinhood’s Crypto Fell 55% 🪶

Robinhood $HOOD ( ▲ 1.85% ) posted disappointing financial results on Tuesday as the company’s cryptocurrency trading revenue plunged 55%. The stock fell 7.63% in after-hours trading.

Financials: Robinhood reported earnings of 60 cents per share in the past quarter and revenue of $1.42 billion. Both were lower than expected.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Robinhood’s crypto revenue is falling mainly because customers are doing less trading, especially on its core retail app. It is also being compared with an unusually strong year-earlier quarter.

Final Thoughts: This marks another setback for Robinhood. In 2026, Robinhood’s stock was already down 18%.
