Key Takeaways:

  • Robinhood's crypto revenue jumped 300% in Q3 2023.
  • Q3 earnings surpassed Wall Street expectations.
  • Expansion into prediction markets and tokenized stocks is underway.

Robinhood Markets delivered a stronger-than-expected third-quarter performance, fueled by a significant surge in cryptocurrency revenue. The company reported a 300% year-over-year increase in crypto revenue, contributing to earnings that topped Wall Street estimates.

The company stated that transaction-based revenues increased by 129% from the same period last year, reaching $730 million. This growth was primarily driven by $268 million in crypto revenues, marking a more than 300% increase compared to the previous year.

Total revenues for the quarter ending September 30th doubled year-over-year to $1.27 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $1.2 billion. Earnings per share (EPS) rose by 259% to $0.61, exceeding analyst estimates of $0.51 per share.

While traditionally known for its stock trading platform, Robinhood is actively pursuing retail and institutional crypto users. This includes the acquisition of Bitstamp in June, as well as offering tokenized stocks and prediction markets.

Robinhood CFO Jason Warnick noted that their Bitstamp and prediction markets businesses are "generating approximately $100 million or more in annualized revenues.""

Robinhood (HOOD) shares closed Wednesday up 4.15% at $142.48 but declined by over 2% in after-hours trading to below $140.

The company's stock has gained over 280% year-to-date and reached an all-time high of $152.46 on October 9th, before a recent crypto market downturn dampened further gains.

CEO's Perspective on Prediction Markets and Tokenized Stocks

CEO Vladimir Tenev told investors during an earnings call that Robinhood has "some options" to increase the global availability of its prediction market product.

He added, "As a scaled traditional player, but also on the crypto side, I think we’ll have our pick of what’s best in each jurisdiction. That’s something we’re definitely closely looking at.”

Regarding tokenized stocks, Tenev commented that they "are not as interoperable as we would like, but that’s just because they’re actually not on DeFi yet.”

“Over time, I do expect greater interoperability,” he concluded. “As you’ve seen with other assets in the crypto world, even if they’re on other chains, the community tends to get involved and build bridges and wrappers, and so I think that that’s less of a concern.”
