Robinhood’s event contracts overtake crypto revenue in record trading quarter
Robinhood reported 173 million dollars of event-contract revenue for the third quarter of 2026, more than the 120 million dollars it earned from cryptocurrency transactions, on a record 16.4 billion contracts traded. The figures show prediction-market trading has become a larger revenue line than crypto for the brokerage.
Robinhood reported $173 million in event-contract revenue for the third quarter of 2026, putting prediction-market trading ahead of cryptocurrency transactions as a revenue source for the brokerage.
Crypto transactions generated $120 million over the same period, according to the figures provided in the summary of Robinhood’s results.
Record volume drives the comparison
The event-contract revenue came alongside a record 16.4 billion contracts traded during the quarter.
The results establish prediction markets as the larger of those two revenue lines for the period, though the supplied figures do not show whether that ranking will persist.
What it means for prediction markets
- Commercial significance: Event contracts generated more quarterly revenue for Robinhood than cryptocurrency transactions, underscoring their importance within the brokerage’s business.
- Limits of the data: Record contract volume measures trading activity, not the accuracy of market forecasts; the supplied results offer no evidence on forecasting performance.
