Platform growth, crypto resurgence, and increased user activity drive robust financial performance for Robinhood in the second-quarter

Overview

Robinhood Markets, Inc. delivered a strong second quarter of 2025, with revenue and net income more than doubling year-over-year, supported by broad-based growth across transaction, interest, and subscription-based services. The company’s focus on product innovation and platform expansion continues to attract and retain a growing customer base, leading to record engagement and financial results.

“We delivered strong business results in Q2 driven by relentless product velocity, and we launched tokenization — which I believe is the biggest innovation our industry has seen in the past decade”, said Vlad Tenev, Chairman and CEO of Robinhood.

Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024:

• Total revenue was $989m (+45% YoY), driven by strong gains in options and crypto trading, as well as interest income.
  • Revenue from trading activity totaled $539m (+65% YoY), driven by Options revenue of $265m (+46% YoY), Crypto revenue of $160m (+98% YoY), and Equities revenue of $66m (+65% YoY).
  • Net interest revenue grew to $357m (+25% YoY), reflecting higher cash sweep balances and interest-earning assets.
  • Other revenues reached $93m (+33% YoY), bolstered by Robinhood Gold subscriptions and new product monetization.
• Net income was $386m (more than double the $187m from Q2 2024), reflecting improved operating leverage and higher customer activity.
• Diluted EPS reached $0.42 (up from $0.21 in the prior year), supported by net income growth and share count stability.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $549m (+82% YoY), with a margin of 56% of revenue, showing disciplined cost management.
• Free cash flow for the quarter was $2.48bn (+44% YoY), reflecting strong cash generation from operating activities.

Robinhood continues to position itself as a global fintech leader through product innovation, international expansion, and platform diversification. The acquisition of Bitstamp, completed during Q2, brings crypto capabilities across 30+ European markets. Tokenized stock trading and crypto staking were launched in Europe and the U.S., respectively, further reinforcing Robinhood’s first-mover advantage in digital finance. Management reiterated its commitment to profitable growth, user experience enhancement, and disciplined expense control. Full-year capital allocation will prioritize product development and international scale-up. The company also aims to grow its Robinhood Gold user base, now exceeding 3.5m, and expand its credit card and retirement offerings, with $20bn in AUC for retirement accounts. Robinhood ended the quarter with $4.2bn in cash and equivalents and continues to invest in growth initiatives that expand access and utility across its customer ecosystem.

Robinhood’s stock continues its impressive uptrend, currently trading just below recent highs. The price remains firmly above both the 50-day moving average ($88.59) and the 200-day moving average ($54.61), confirming a strong bullish momentum in the medium and long term. The RSI (14) stands at 60.46, suggesting moderately bullish conditions without being in overbought territory. The RSI remains above the midline of 50, indicating continued buyer interest, although momentum has slightly cooled compared to the prior rally. The stock recently experienced a slight pullback from the highs near $115, but the bounce above the 50-day SMA signals that buyers are defending key levels. A breakout above $107 could reignite upside potential, while a drop below the 50-day SMA would suggest caution.
