Cryptocurrency trading has grown in popularity on Robinhood's\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> platform, which now accounts for 41 percent of the company's income, according to the popular retail trading app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the publication of its second-quarter financial results on August 18, the company reported that it generated $233 million from crypto trading services for the quarter, an increase from $5 million for the entire year 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, more than 60% of Robinhood accounts with funds exchanged digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the speculative dog-token trading frenzy that began in early 2021, a whopping 62 percent of Robinhood's cryptocurrency earnings was obtained from Dogecoin transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, this is the first earnings report produced by Robinhood<\/a> since it became a publicly-traded firm. Vlad Teev, co-founder and CEO of Robinhood, made the following statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re encouraged by the number of people who are accessing the financial system for the first time through Robinhood.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Overall revenue <\/a>for the quarter totalled $565 million, representing a 131 percent increase over the previous quarter's $244 million. Monthly active users climbed by more than a twofold year on year (YoY), from 10.2 million to 21.3 million, while funded accounts increased by a whopping 130% during the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The value of assets under Robinhood's custody increased by threefold year on year, reaching $102 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the increase in cryptocurrency sales, Robinhood <\/a>reported a net loss of $464 million for the second quarter. The losses, on the other hand, are attributable to accounting changes resulting from the fluctuating value of warrants and notes owned by the corporation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
