Robinhood Markets reported a significant financial turnaround in the first quarter of 2024, posting a net income of $157 million, a stark contrast to the net loss of $511 million in Q1 2023.

Key drivers of this growth included a surge in transaction-based revenue, which hit $329 million, greatly exceeding estimates of $255.3 million. Additionally, Robinhood reported $26 billion in cryptocurrencies under custody, reflecting a robust increase in crypto trading volumes, which soared by 224% compared to the previous year. The company's earnings were also bolstered by higher interest rates and an increase in cryptocurrency trading activities.
