Robinhood Surges to 16th in Trading Volume on Crypto-Driven Revival and Strategic Acquisitions

Robinhood (HOOD) rose 0.41% on August 12, 2025, with a trading volume of $3.62 billion, ranking 16th in the market. Strategic acquisitions and crypto revenue growth are reshaping its trajectory.

The company’s $179 million acquisition of WonderFi and $200 million Bitstamp buyout have expanded its global crypto footprint, boosting assets under custody by 120% year-over-year. These moves, combined with a 98% surge in Q2 2025 crypto revenue to $160 million, highlight its transition from a trading app to a diversified financial services platform. Robinhood Gold’s 3.5 million subscribers also drove a 34% increase in average revenue per user (ARPU).

Regulatory tailwinds in the U.S., including pro-crypto policies enabling tokenized stock offerings and relisting of assets like Solana and XRP, have strengthened its competitive position. Analysts project 39.5% earnings growth for 2025, citing tokenization, AI tools, and favorable market conditions.

A historical backtest of earnings performance from 2022 to 2025 shows a 42.86% win rate over three days, 57.14% over 10 days, and 64.29% over 30 days post-earnings. The maximum observed return reached 20.58% on day 52, underscoring consistent upside potential.
