The company said in a statement Thursday that net cumulative funded accounts increased to 22.8 million as of March 31 from 18.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Robinhood said the increase was "primarily driven by large customer interest in cryptocurrencies during the second quarter of 2021."
On its earnings conference call Thursday, Robinhood said it has been refining core crypto infrastructure to "effortlessly" custody and support new coins, tokens and chains. CEO Vlad Tenev said this initiative is part of a process that began last year and Robinhood will soon be able to add new coins with "relatively minimal effort."
In its recent crypto moves, Robinhood agreed to buy London-based crypto platform Ziglu, which is approved to offer crypto services in the U.K. The company also added tokens SHIB, SOL, Polygon's MATIC and Compound's COMP to its platform for users after activating its crypto wallet for two million “eligible” customers, making digital asset transfers broadly possible in the long-firewalled investments app.
Shares of Robinhood fell about 12% in after-hours trading on Thursday.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
