Robinhood’s crypto transaction revenue fell sharply from year-earlier levels in the third quarter, reflecting weaker customer trading activity across its platforms. The result still came in ahead of Wall Street expectations, while the company’s broader blockchain push showed signs of traction.

Robinhood is preparing to add Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin to its retail app before the end of 2026, potentially widening access across its large customer base. The move comes even as Robinhood remains tied to the Global Dollar Network, which promotes the rival USDG stablecoin.

Robinhood is moving deeper into active trading with an AI agent designed to research markets, build strategies and place trades inside customer-set limits. The platform is also preparing crypto perpetual futures for eligible U.S. users, including up to 10x leverage on bitcoin and ether.

Bitcoin is trading lower even as US technology shares push to fresh records, highlighting a widening gap between crypto and equities. ETF outflows, regulatory uncertainty, AI-driven capital rotation and bearish chart structures continue to weigh on BTC.
