Robinhood event-contract volume rises 15-fold year over year despite August decline

  • Robinhood recorded 4.7 billion event contracts in August, about 15 times the year-earlier volume.
  • Bitstamp accounted for $10.1 billion of Robinhood's $17.5 billion August crypto trading volume.
  • Robinhood acquired Bitstamp in June 2025, and Robinhood Chain volume was excluded from August figures.

Robinhood’s event-contract business continued its rapid year-over-year expansion in August despite a monthly decline in activity. August volume reached 4.7 billion contracts, roughly 15 times the year-earlier level but 23% below July, while average daily volume fell by a similar amount to 152 million. In the second quarter of 2026, event contracts generated $156 million in revenue, exceeding equity trading revenue of $129 million and crypto revenue of $100 million. Robinhood’s crypto trading volume rose 61% from July to $17.5 billion in August, but remained 38% below the year-earlier level. Bitstamp, acquired by Robinhood in June 2025, contributed $10.1 billion, while the Robinhood app accounted for $7.4 billion. Crypto volume from Robinhood Chain was excluded from the reported figures. Although crypto transaction revenue fell 38% year over year to $100 million in the second quarter, growth in event contracts, options and equities helped Robinhood report record quarterly revenue and earnings.
