Show more +Robinhood strategically transferred approximately 118,300 Bitcoins to this wallet over a span of three months. These assets are managed by Jump Trading, a crypto trading firm, as confirmed by Arkham Intelligence. The first of these transactions occurred on March 8, and the wallet continued to swell until July 14, according to data from BitInfoCharts.
Interestingly, Robinhood’s massive Bitcoin holding comes at a time when the platform has reported a decline in crypto trading volumes. In its latest earnings release, Robinhood disclosed a crypto trading revenue of merely $31 million for the second quarter, down 18% from $38 million in the first quarter. This accounts for just 16% of the platform’s total trading revenue of $193 million, which itself saw a 7% sequential decline.
