Robinhood Skyrockets 467%—Leaves Bitcoin and Coinbase in the Dust

Robinhood isn’t just riding the wave—it’s making its own. Surging 467% in a jaw-dropping rally, the retail trading platform has left even crypto giants Bitcoin and Coinbase eating its dust.

How the Tables Have Turned

Once dismissed as a meme-stock playground, Robinhood’s now flexing serious financial muscle. While Bitcoin’s been grinding through its usual volatility and Coinbase navigates regulatory headwinds, Robinhood’s stock ripped through expectations—no caveats, no apologies.

Retail’s Revenge

Users aren’t just trading—they’re piling into crypto, options, and even banking services. The platform’s slick UX and low barriers keep the crowds coming, while traditional brokers scramble to keep up. It turns out, making finance “fun” can actually be profitable—who knew?

Not Just a Fluke

This isn’t some one-off pump. Expanded asset offerings, international ambitions, and a user base that treats investing like a social feed have given Robinhood momentum even seasoned traders envy. Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts are busy upgrading price targets—classic “after-the-fact” genius.

So, while crypto pureplays wrestle with regulators and macro fears, Robinhood’s playing a different game entirely. Maybe the real disruption wasn’t the asset—it was the access. Or maybe it’s just another bubble waiting for a pin. After all, in finance, if it looks too good to be true… it probably is.

Overtaking Coinbase’s Market Positioning

In comparison, Coinbase, which is one of the largest crypto exchanges, processed over $230 billion in trading volume across an entire quarter (Q2 2025), and that included both retail and institutional clients. 

Additionally, Robinhood delivered strong second-quarter results with revenue up 45% to $989 million, driven largely by a 98% year-on-year jump in crypto trading revenue to $160 million. Moreover, the firm’s net income doubled to $386 million. 

This indicates that investors are seeking access to crypto-linked equities, memecoins, and digital asset managers using Robinhood and other legacy brokerages instead of crypto exchanges or on-chain DEX platforms. 

However, this balance might not last forever. Analysts expect that as Coinbase expands into offering stock trading, some of this equity and meme trading activity could shift toward crypto-native platforms in the future.
