Robinhood Crypto Volumes Jump 61% in August, but Remain 38% Below Last Year

Robinhood crypto volumes rose 61% month over month to $17.5 billion in August across Robinhood and Bitstamp, according to Robinhood's monthly operating data. Despite the increase, activity remained 38% below the level recorded a year earlier.

Bitstamp, which Robinhood acquired in June 2025, generated $10.1 billion of the total, exceeding the $7.4 billion traded through the Robinhood app. The acquired exchange accounted for approximately 58% of Robinhood's reported crypto volume for the month.

Bitstamp's notional trading volume increased 53% from July but declined 30% year over year. Volume through the Robinhood app rose 72% month over month while falling 46% from August 2025.

Average daily crypto volume across the two platforms stood at $565 million. Bitstamp contributed $326 million, compared with $239 million through the retail brokerage app.

Robinhood completed the acquisition of Bitstamp in June 2025, gaining an exchange with institutional clients, API infrastructure and more than 50 licences and registrations across several markets. The company has since used the acquired business for geographic expansion, including its recently launched UK crypto service, which offers more than 50 digital assets and is provided through Bitstamp UK.

Other trading categories moved in different directions in August. Equity notional volume reached $335.4 billion, up 1% from July and 68% year over year. Options activity fell 10% month over month to 292.5 million contracts but remained 50% above the previous year. Event-contract activity declined 23% from July to 4.7 billion contracts, although the figure was 15 times the August 2025 level.

Robinhood ended August with 28.6 million funded customers, about 120,000 more than in July and 1.9 million more than a year earlier. Total platform assets rose 8% month over month to $383.7 billion, while net deposits for August amounted to $4 billion.

The reported crypto figures exclude Robinhood Chain volumes. The company cautioned that its latest monthly data are preliminary, unaudited and subject to its financial closing procedures.
