Robinhood Crypto Trading Volume Surges 217% in July Driven by Retail Demand

Robinhood Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: HOOD) reported a record $16.8 billion in notional crypto trading volume for July 2025, reflecting a 217% year-over-year increase and a 110% rise from June’s figures. The surge is attributed to heightened retail investor activity and the growing adoption of digital assets across its platform. This marks one of the most significant monthly performances in the company’s history and highlights the increasing role of crypto in retail trading [1].

The growth in crypto trading volume was further amplified by the integration of Bitstamp, which added $11.9 billion in notional trading on its exchange during July. This represents a 78% month-over-month increase, indicating strong user engagement and confidence in the post-acquisition platform. The combined impact of Bitstamp and the Robinhood app propelled overall crypto notional volumes to unprecedented levels, with the platform’s total assets rising to $298 billion in July [2].

Robinhood’s second-quarter earnings also reflected the broader trend, with the company reporting $485 million in revenue—surpassing the $430 million forecast by analysts—and narrowing its net loss to $123 million from $187 million in the prior year. Cost-cutting measures and improved execution of its commission-free model were key contributors to the performance. The firm also noted a 160,000 increase in funded customer accounts, bringing the total to 26.7 million as of July [3].

Crypto-related revenue for the second quarter grew 98% year-over-year to $160 million, driven by higher trading volumes and expanded institutional offerings such as lending and staking. These developments underscore the company’s strategic shift toward crypto as a core growth driver. Analysts have noted that if this momentum continues, Robinhood could see its revenue reach $4 billion in 2025 and potentially $7.3 billion by 2027, based on current growth trajectories and margin improvements [4].

The strong July performance suggests that Robinhood is capitalizing on the broader crypto resurgence, particularly among retail investors. As the platform continues to integrate its acquired assets and expand its product offerings, the sustainability of these gains will depend on maintaining user engagement and navigating regulatory and market uncertainties [6].
