However, Robinhood’s $441 million revenue for the first quarter still exceeded market expectations. The company reported an increase of 11% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) in its transaction-based revenues, reaching $207 million during the first quarter. This was driven by an increase of 7% in options trading and 29% in equities, generating $133 million and $27 million in transaction-based revenues, respectively. Revenues from cryptocurrencies came in at $38 million with a 1% reduction.

Additionally, Robinhood reported an increase of 25% QoQ in its net interest revenue as the company’s return from its borrowings to customers for securities purchase reached $208 million. The revenue was higher than the $167 million generated in the previous quarter and $55 million from the same period last year. This growth was supported by the US Federal Reserve’s fast rate hikes.

Despite the huge net loss on its record, Robinhood’s Q1 2023 financial performance highlights significant growth in its transaction-based revenues, indicating its growing popularity in the investment industry.
