Özet

Robinhood reported record Q2 2026 results with revenue of $1.31B, net income of $573M, and adjusted EBITDA of $741M. Notably, 23% of the profit came from one-time factors, including gains from the deconsolidation of a ventures fund. A major shift was the rise of prediction markets, generating $156M in revenue (a more than 10x annual increase), surpassing stocks ($129M) and cryptocurrencies ($100M, down 38%). Total transaction revenue grew 44% to $776M, with options remaining the largest segment. Cryptocurrency performance was weak organically, with trading volume in the core app falling 35%. However, Robinhood is aggressively expanding its crypto infrastructure through acquisitions, launching its own blockchain (Robinhood Chain), and introducing new products like tokenized stocks in over 120 countries and perpetual futures in the EU.

Robinhood has published its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. Revenue reached a record $1.31 billion, with net profit at $573 million. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $741 million with a 57% margin.

At the same time, net profit was partially boosted by one-off factors. It included $129 million in income, primarily due to the deconsolidation of Robinhood Ventures Fund I. This added approximately $0.14 to diluted earnings per share (EPS). Thus, nearly 23% of the company's quarterly profit came from one-off investment operations, not from core business activities, as stated in the press release.

Prediction Markets Outpace Cryptocurrencies and Stocks

A structural shift in the report was the emergence of prediction markets as one of the key components of the transactional business. Revenue from event contracts reached $156 million — a more than tenfold increase year-over-year. For comparison: stock-related revenue was $129 million (+95%), cryptocurrency revenue was $100 million (-38%). The volume of event contracts grew more than tenfold — to 13.6 billion contracts. The company also launched Rothera — a CFTC-licensed exchange and clearing platform in partnership with Susquehanna International Group.

Overall transaction-based revenue grew by 44% — to $776 million, accounting for approximately 59% of total revenue. The largest component remained options — $342 million (+29%).

Cryptocurrency: Declining Current Performance and Strategic Expansion

The cryptocurrency segment appears weak in the quarter's financial results: revenue fell by 38% — to $100 million, organic trading volume in the app decreased by 35% — to $18 billion. Total cryptocurrency volume was $40 billion, but $22 billion of that came from the recently acquired Bitstamp — meaning more than half of the consolidated volume was driven by non-organic activity.

At the same time, the company is aggressively expanding its cryptocurrency infrastructure: it closed the acquisition of Canada's WonderFi, launched the public mainnet Robinhood Chain, offered tokenized stocks in over 120 countries, launched the decentralized lending service Robinhood Earn, added perpetual futures in the EU, and plans to launch cryptocurrency products in the UK.

Recall that we previously reported that the tokenized stock sector on Robinhood Chain has grown nearly sevenfold since the network's launch.

Analysts: "Another Bitcoin Drop Could Lead to a Reboot"

Crypto analysis firm DeFi Report, in its latest macroeconomic analysis, warns that a potential final wave of decline for Bitcoin could restructure the market and set the stage for a new bull cycle. While the US economy appears strong on the surface, bond market signals and economic indicators suggest the Federal Reserve may not be finished raising interest rates. Key vulnerabilities include a cooling labor market, low personal savings, and a significant drop in housing starts. Although Bitcoin has shown resilience around $65,000 compared to equities, analysts warn that a broader sell-off in risk assets, reflected in an 8-9% drop from the NASDAQ's peak, could impact crypto markets. The report suggests the crypto market has largely weathered its bear season but may face a final "rocky landing" capitulation wave under macroeconomic pressure. In this scenario, analysts anticipate Bitcoin could retreat to the $55,000 level. Such a decline, they argue, would fully clear market excesses and create a solid foundation for a sustained future uptrend.

Telegram’s Pavel Durov responds to Russia’s terrorism designation

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has publicly responded after Russian authorities designated him a "terrorist," claiming the move came after he refused government demands for mass surveillance and censorship. The Russian Federal Security Service accused him of facilitating terrorist activity by failing to remove channels used by terrorist groups and Ukrainian intelligence, building on a criminal case launched in February. Durov's legal challenges extend beyond Russia. He faced arrest in France in 2024 over allegations Telegram failed to adequately moderate illegal content, though he was later allowed to return to Dubai. The platform is also facing new court proceedings in Australia for allegedly not removing terrorism-related content. Positioning himself as a defender of free speech and digital privacy, Durov has criticized proposed EU surveillance measures and threatened to leave France if forced to grant access to users' private messages.

Senator Schumer proposes agency to address corruption, including Trump’s crypto ventures

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act, a bill to establish a new federal agency with enforcement powers to investigate and prevent executive branch corruption. The legislation specifically cites President Donald Trump's substantial financial gains from cryptocurrency ventures, detailing over $2 billion in disclosed 2025 earnings, with $1.4 billion tied to crypto. The proposed bipartisan bureau would consolidate existing watchdogs like the Federal Election Commission. This move comes as Trump's crypto ties complicate Democratic support for the separate Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, with ethics concerns persisting. The anti-corruption bill requires Republican support to pass and could face a presidential veto. Meanwhile, the fate of the crypto market structure bill remains uncertain as the Senate session nears its end.

What is expected to happen to Bitcoin's price after the Fed's decision and inflation data?

Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen assessed the latest U.S. inflation data and its potential macroeconomic impact on Bitcoin (BTC). Recent data, including a 0.1% monthly decline in the PCE index and moderate economic growth, was received positively by markets, with Bitcoin maintaining a stable trajectory without a sharp decline. However, Cowen highlighted internal divisions within the Fed regarding interest rates. Despite current rates being held stable, three FOMC members voted for a hike, suggesting monetary tightening may not be over. He pointed to the relationship between 2-year Treasury yields and the Fed's discount rate, indicating that when yields exceed the rate, the restrictive impact of policy weakens. Cowen warned that if the labor market heats up again, inflationary pressure could resume, creating a high probability of a surprise Fed rate hike in the latter half of the year, potentially in September. Such a hike, occurring when cuts are expected, could shock investors and accelerate a flight from risk assets. Regarding Bitcoin's price cycles, Cowen suggested the market bottom may not be in yet, and based on historical data, the most likely scenario is for Bitcoin to find its true low in the fourth quarter (Q4) of the year.

The Most Closely Watched Fed Data on the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index Turned Positive: Analysts Provide Positive Commentary

In the US, the closely watched Federal Reserve inflation gauge, the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, fell slightly in June but remained above the Fed's 2% target. However, data showed a strong rebound in consumer spending in Q2, indicating underlying economic resilience despite high interest rates and energy price pressures. The core PCE inflation rate eased from 3.4% to 3.3%. While a positive signal, it remains well above target, creating ongoing monetary policy uncertainty. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh emphasized that policy decisions will rely on a broader set of inflation metrics beyond PCE, and affirmed the US economy's strength. Analysts cite renewed energy price surges as a key inflation risk for H2 2023, which could force further Fed tightening. Consumers are becoming more price-sensitive, though spending remains stable as they seek value. Citigroup economists note that Warsh's focus on wider inflation indicators, including the lower core Consumer Price Index (CPI) at 2.6%, may reduce the near-term likelihood of a rate hike. While markets price a 59% chance of a September increase, Citigroup believes this expectation is overstated and that another hike may not be imminent.
