Robinhood Stock Slides After Crypto Trading Slump Hits Q1 Earnings

TheNewsCrypto2026-04-29 tarihinde yayınlandı2026-04-29 tarihinde güncellendi

As a result of missing analyst expectations for Q1 revenue and a roughly 50% decline in crypto income and trading volume compared to a year ago, Robinhood’s stock dropped 9.4% in after-hours trading.

Based on the company’s Q1 financial report, which was released on Tuesday, Robinhood saw a 47% year-on-year decline in crypto transaction revenue, going from $252 million to $134 million. Additionally, crypto trading volume plummeted 48% to $24 billion during the same time.

Robinhood (HOOD) stock dropped 9.4 percent after the company’s revenues of $1.07 billion and profits per share of $0.38 fell short of industry projections by 6.1% and 11.6%, respectively. Net income increased 3% year-on-year to $346 million, indicating that the firm remained profitable.

Bear Market to Blame

Vladimir Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, said that market fluctuations were to blame for the decline in crypto revenue and trading volume, but he also said that the firm is concentrating on developing crypto infrastructure and incorporating assets with “real-world utility.”

During the down market, several trading platforms have increased their blockchain-based products, including Robinhood, in an attempt to attract more retail customers and generate more income.

With a record 8.8 billion event contracts exchanged on Robinhood in Q1, a 780% increase from Q2 2025—its first full quarter on the market—Robinhood Predictions, another one of these services, is a prediction market platform connected via Kalshi.

According to Tenev, Robinhood Predictions is expected to achieve a trading volume of around $3 billion in April. This would be the second-highest month since the product was launched in March 2025. Part of Robinhood’s “other” trading segment, Robinhood Predictions helped overcome crypto-related losses in Q1 with a 320% year-on-year revenue rise to $147 million.

XRP Has Undergone the Most Negative Period in Its History Over the Last Three Months, But Data Doesn't Show It

XRP has experienced its most negative investor sentiment in three months as the price failed to recover as expected, according to data from Santiment. Comments across social media platforms show retail investors growing significantly more pessimistic, a trend likely to persist in the short term with the price below $1. However, blockchain activity on the XRP Ledger tells a different story. In the last 24 hours, the network recorded 49,929 active addresses, the highest figure in over two months. This recent surge in activity, following a period of historically low engagement earlier in July, presents a key contrarian signal. Santiment suggests that the combination of high on-chain activity and extreme negative sentiment creates a scenario that could appeal to XRP bulls. The platform indicates that if XRP maintains its current technical structure and demand recovers, the present pessimism may later be viewed by cryptocurrency users as a discount buying opportunity.

Tomorrow Marks the Largest Token Unlock in the History of a Controversial Altcoin

The token $YZY, associated with Kanye West, is set for its largest-ever token unlock on August 16. A total of 120.83 million tokens (worth approximately $35.26 million) will be released, representing 12.08% of the token's total 1 billion supply. This massive influx of new supply raises concerns about increased selling pressure on the token, which has already fallen roughly 90% from its all-time high of $2.95. The current market cap of the project is approximately $87 million. Furthermore, the unlock schedule indicates monthly releases of tokens worth around $8.51 million are planned to continue until July 2027.

Bitcoin to $1M by 2030 is ‘mathematically impossible’ says Markus Thielen

Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research, argues that the popular prediction of Bitcoin reaching $1 million by 2030 is "mathematically impossible." He bases this on historical capital inflows, noting that $1 trillion in inflow over 15 years achieved a current market cap of around $1.28 trillion. To reach $1 million per Bitcoin—a 15x increase from current prices near $64,000—Thielen calculates it would require an additional $15 trillion in capital over the next four years, equivalent to roughly 25% of the total US stock market's value. He contends that attracting such a massive inflow is unrealistic. Thielen further explains that higher Bitcoin prices weaken retail sentiment, as many investors psychologically prefer owning whole units rather than fractions. He cautions against expecting a rapid rebound to new all-time highs, suggesting that even reaching $100,000 would be a significant achievement. While high-profile figures like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong have touted the $1 million target, Thielen views such extravagant predictions as media-friendly but potentially harmful to retail investors who may adopt overly optimistic expectations. He does not entirely rule out a $1 million price but states it would require an extreme scenario like a "major credit event, implosion of everything."

Grayscale Forecasts Increase in Scarcity for Ethereum and Solana

Grayscale Research predicts that Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) could become scarcer assets due to proposed tokenomics changes in their respective blockchains. According to analyst Zach Pandl, both networks are considering protocol adjustments that would reduce the annual issuance rate of their native tokens. The report compares projected annual supply inflation over the next five years, estimating it could fall to around 0.4% for Ethereum and 1.1% for Solana by 2031, lower than gold's estimated 1.8% annual supply growth. Pandl notes that while the changes are still under community discussion, Solana's proposals have broader support and a higher chance of implementation. Reduced inflation would directly impact network stakers, as their rewards are funded by new token issuance. While stakers would receive fewer new tokens, the potential scarcity could support the market price of ETH and SOL. Non-staking holders could benefit directly from the decreased supply. For Ethereum, the debate on scarcity includes proposals like EIP-8363, which would burn a portion of staking rewards. Pandl concludes that the proposed changes would increase the scarcity of both assets and could create upward pressure on their prices. The analysis also notes Solana's ongoing infrastructure development, including the Alpenglow upgrade to speed up transaction finalization and significant growth in its tokenized asset ecosystem.
