Robinhood Surpasses $100 Billion Valuation Following Strategic Crypto Acquisitions and Blockchain Innovation
In 2025, Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD) exceeded a $100 billion market capitalization, driven by strategic acquisitions, blockchain innovation, and growth in recurring revenues. The company’s key moves included acquiring Canadian crypto platform WonderFi for $179 million, which added 600,000 customers and $2.1 billion in assets under custody, and purchasing European crypto exchange Bitstamp for $200 million, bringing institutional clients, regulatory licenses, and boosting crypto assets by 120% year-over-year.
During the second quarter of 2025, Robinhood’s crypto revenue surged 98% to $160 million. The platform reported 3.5 million Robinhood Gold subscribers, which drove a 34% increase in average revenue per user (ARPU). Pro-crypto U.S. policy developments enabled the relisting of digital assets such as Solana and XRP, and facilitated the launch of tokenized stock offerings, enhancing the company’s regulatory positioning.
Robinhood also launched “Robinhood Chain,” a Layer 2 blockchain built on the Arbitrum network. This technology allows for faster and cheaper transactions of tokenized real-world assets, positioning the company to expand future services. Analysts have projected a 39.5% earnings growth for 2025, with price targets around $130 per share, citing drivers such as tokenization, artificial intelligence tools, and generational wealth transfer trends.
