Robinhood's crypto revenue fell 55% from last year, but topped Street forecasts

Robinhood's HOOD $94.61 · Market Closed third-quarter cryptocurrency trading business was down 55% from last year but still topped Street forecasts. Crypto transaction revenue dropped to $120 million in the third quarter, according to the company's earnings report released Tuesday. That was down from about $267 million in the same period last year, but ahead of Wall Street analysts’ expectations of $114.1 million. That left crypto accounting for just 8.4% of Robinhood's $1.42 billion in total quarterly revenue, compared with roughly 21% a year earlier. The decline came as customers traded less crypto across Robinhood's platforms.
