Robinhood prediction markets trade 13.6 billion contracts as crypto gains share

  • Robinhood expanded prediction markets from a 2024 election experiment into a major revenue business.
  • Robinhood traded 13.6 billion event contracts and generated roughly $156 million in Q2 2026.
  • Crypto contracts outpaced sports activity despite about 5 billion World Cup-linked contracts.

Robinhood’s prediction markets business, launched as an election-season experiment in 2024, generated roughly $156 million in revenue from 13.6 billion event contracts in the second quarter of 2026. CEO Vlad Tenev said crypto event contracts are taking a disproportionate share of activity and expects sports betting to become a minority of the business within a few years. Crypto’s continuous stream of protocol upgrades, regulatory decisions, token launches and market milestones gives it a broader supply of tradable events than seasonal sports. Robinhood’s infrastructure is supported by MIAXdx, formerly LedgerX, which is approximately 90% owned by Rothera, a joint venture with Susquehanna. The company also announced minority equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com in a deal valued at $5 billion following a Citadel Securities investment.
