Robinhood Crypto Volume Surges 32% to $28B on Tokenization and Bitstamp Acquisition

Robinhood reported a 32% year-over-year increase in crypto trading volume, reaching $28 billion in Q2 2025, driven by tokenization expansions and strategic acquisitions. This growth highlights the platform’s continued dominance in the retail crypto market despite a slowdown in overall trading activity compared to the previous quarter [2]. Robinhood’s crypto-related revenue nearly doubled to $160 million, while the company’s net revenue for the quarter grew 45% year-over-year to $989 million, with net income rising 105% to $386 million [4].

The company’s leadership, particularly CEO Vlad Tenev, has emphasized tokenization as a key innovation and a core component of Robinhood’s long-term strategy. The firm recently launched Robinhood Chain, a layer 2 blockchain for stock trading in Europe, and has expanded its tokenization initiatives to 30 European countries [3]. These efforts aim to make alternative assets—such as private shares, venture capital funds, and real estate—more accessible to retail investors.

Robinhood’s acquisition of Bitstamp, a major global crypto exchange, is expected to play a central role in the company’s broader ambitions to streamline access to digital assets and expand its global footprint [3]. The Bitstamp acquisition alone added $7 billion to Robinhood’s trading volumes within a month, demonstrating significant financial momentum [4]. Additionally, Robinhood has secured over 50 global regulatory licenses, enabling cross-border product launches and enhancing its presence in the crypto market.

Analysts remain optimistic about Robinhood’s regulatory advancements and strategic focus on crypto and tokenization. These moves are seen as beneficial for reshaping the company’s revenue structure and broadening access to digital assets for investors [2]. The firm’s user base also experienced growth, with the number of funded customers increasing by 10% to 26.5 million and total platform assets reaching $279 billion [4]. Subscription-based services, including Robinhood Gold and its digital advisory offering, Robinhood Strategies, have performed strongly, with 3.5 million subscribers and over $0.5 billion in assets under management [4].

Looking ahead, Robinhood plans to continue its aggressive expansion strategy, including hosting its second annual HOOD Summit in September 2025 and acquiring WonderFi, a Canadian digital asset company, subject to regulatory approval [3]. These developments signal the company’s intent to maintain its momentum in the evolving fintech landscape.
