Crypto trading volume on the platform doubled, while crypto revenue surged by 165 percent.
However, net revenue was impacted by a $27 million reduction due to matches paid to customers on transfers and deposits.
Robinhood (Nasdaq: HOOD) saw substantial gains from its crypto offerings, with crypto trading volume on the platform doubling to $14.4 billion, resulting in a 65 percent increase in revenue from this segment, totalling $61 million.
A Profitable Quarter
According to figures released yesterday (Wednesday), the American trading platform generated $637 million in revenue for the third quarter of 2024, marking a 36 percent increase. Of this, transactions-based revenue grew to $319 million, up 72 percent.
Although crypto revenue posted the largest gains, options trading remained Robinhood’s primary revenue generator, contributing $202 million, a year-over-year increase of 63 percent. Revenue from equities trading also rose by 37 percent to $37 million.
The platform’s net income increased to $150 million, which translates to $0.17 in diluted earnings per share (EPS). In the same quarter last year, Robinhood reported a net loss of $85 million.
Falls Short of Market Expectations
Despite the strong overall figures, the retail broker’s shares dropped by nearly 12.5 percent after-hours, falling short of Wall Street expectations. According to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, the market anticipated Robinhood to generate $661.21 million in revenue for the quarter and an EPS of $0.18.
