Tokenization Strategy of Vlad Tenev
Robinhood is positioning itself to be a leader in asset tokenization in order to provide an alternative asset class otherwise only available to institutional or high-net-worth investors. CEO Vlad Tenev quoted “relentless product velocity” as a growth factor and labeled tokenization as “the main innovation of the past 10 years” for the industry. Robinhood will focus on tokenizing assets, including private shares, venture capital funds, and real estate.
Tenev also pointed out that, with Robinhood’s 25 million U.S. customers and $1 trillion in assets under custody, they have a sizable competitive advantage that makes it a challenge for others to copy.
Robinhood finished the quarter with 26.5 million funded customers, an increase of 9.5% from last year. Revenue per user shot up to $151, an increase of 33.1% year-on-year, indicating better monetization. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $549, representing a 55.5% margin. The same operating margin for the company increased to 44.7% from 27.7% year-on-year.
Robinhood Crypto Activity
Robinhood’s crypto business has been a significant driver of its Q2 2025 performance, though it faces volatility. Robinhood processed $28.3 billion in crypto trading volume during Q2. The company attributed the quarter-over-quarter decline to broader market headwinds, including the ongoing U.S. trade war and lower retail risk appetite. The recently completed acquisition of Bitstamp in June, though minimally contributing to Q2 results, is expected to strengthen Robinhood’s global crypto infrastructure moving forward.
The firm also expanded its product lineup. On 10 July 2025, Robinhood announced the addition of options for retail users to earn passive income by launching Ethereum and Solana staking for U.S. customers.
By the end of Q2, over two-thirds of SOL holdings in Europe were staked, indicating high user demand. However, Robinhood’s 25% cut of U.S. staking rewards (15% in Europe) has drawn criticism for being higher than rates charged by competitors.
Robinhood’s Q2 2025 earnings reflect the company’s strong financial growth with strategic initiatives. The company’s crypto revenue of $160 million, total net revenue of $989 million, and net income of $386 million prove its ability to capitalize on market opportunities. The tokenization strategy, supported by the Bitstamp acquisition and Robinhood Chain, sets Robinhood up to reinvent retail access to alternative assets. Yet, regulatory hurdles and market volatility pose a challenge.
