$100 Million or More in Annualised Revenue

The broker, known for its commission-free model, launched event contracts earlier this year and faced regulatory hurdles in the early days. Now, it is one of its fastest-growing segments.

Although Robinhood did not specify earnings from prediction markets, its Chief Financial Officer, Jason Warnick, said that prediction markets and Bitstamp together generated “approximately $100 million or more in annualised revenues.”

Overall, quarterly revenue and earnings came in at $1.27 billion and 61 cents per share, respectively, beating market expectations.

According to LSEG, analysts expected 53 cents per share in earnings on $1.19 billion in revenue. The San Francisco-headquartered broker also doubled its Q3 revenue year-over-year.

Crypto Remains a Revenue Driver

The notional crypto trading volume on the platform reached $80 billion, split evenly between the Robinhood app and Bitstamp, which the broker acquired last year.

In addition to trading revenue, Robinhood earned $456 million from interest income, up 66 per cent. Revenue from other sources, including subscriptions, also doubled to $88 million. The number of Robinhood Gold subscribers reached 3.9 million.

Net income climbed to $556 million, representing a 271 per cent yearly rise, while diluted earnings per share increased 259 per cent.

“Q4 is off to a strong start in October, with record monthly trading volumes across equities, options, prediction markets, and futures, and new highs for margin balances,” Warnick said.

Meanwhile, the company announced that Warnick will retire next year, with Shiv Verma set to take over as CFO.
