  • Robinhood Sees Retirement Assets Soar to $31 Billion Despite Weak Crypto Quarter
    May 3, 2026, 9:53 AM EDT. Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) shares dropped following a disappointing first-quarter 2026 crypto revenue slump, falling to $73.66 from a 52-week high of $154. Crypto revenue halved to $134 million amid subdued Bitcoin and altcoin trading volumes. However, retirement assets under custody surged to $31 billion in just three years, up $3.6 billion since the last quarterly report, supported by a 50% rise in active retirement accounts to nearly 2 million. This growth signals a shift toward stable, long-term assets amid trading volatility. Robinhood's participation in the Trump accounts program, aimed at encouraging long-term savings by young investors, adds promising prospects despite near-term operational costs. The evolving revenue mix underscores a nuanced outlook beyond the headline crypto decline, highlighting diversification and resilience in its financial model.
