Robinhood Crypto Volume Hits $16.8 Billion in July Up 217% Year-Over-Year

Robinhood Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: HOOD) reported a record $16.8 billion in notional crypto trading volume for July 2025, a 217% increase year-over-year and a 110% jump from June 2025 figures. This marks the highest crypto volume the company has recorded since it launched its crypto trading service, signaling a strong and sustained interest in digital assets among retail investors [1].

The rapid growth in trading activity highlights the platform’s appeal, especially among novice traders who have been drawn to Robinhood’s commission-free model and user-friendly interface. With the broader crypto market experiencing volatility and speculative movements, Robinhood has emerged as a key barometer for retail-driven crypto trading behavior. The firm’s data suggests that retail participation remains a significant and reliable source of volume, even as the market has faced sharp corrections in recent years [2].

The surge in July also reflects broader seasonal patterns and potentially macroeconomic influences. As more users engage with digital assets, platforms like Robinhood are playing a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of retail trading. The reported figures exclude Robinhood’s equity trading volume, which separately hit $209.1 billion in the same period, indicating a broader surge in investor activity across asset classes [5].

Robinhood’s performance underscores the shifting dynamics within the crypto market, where retail demand is increasingly diverging from traditional institutional trends. The platform’s ability to maintain high growth in both monthly and annual metrics demonstrates its growing influence and appeal to a wide range of investors [6]. As the firm continues to release operational data, its metrics will remain a crucial indicator of the health and direction of the retail crypto trading segment.
