Data from @RobinhoodApp's Q2 2026 earnings shows that Event Contracts (prediction markets) have quickly become the second-largest transaction revenue source, overtaking both crypto and equities. At $156 million, prediction markets now sit well ahead of crypto ($100m) and equities ($129m) - only options remain higher at $342m. It’s an extraordinary growth even though Robinhood only launched event contracts in late 2024 (dedicated hub in March 2025), showing real demand rather than just initial hype: + Revenue up more than 10x year-over-year + 13.6 billion contracts traded in the quarter (record, +55% QoQ) + Surpassed crypto revenue for the first time + Rothera (own CFTC exchange launched in June) already processed 3.5B+ contracts Also, the continued expansion of markets (sports, politics, macro events) and lower spreads on less popular contracts position @RobinhoodCrypto to keep capturing share in the prediction markets space. This looks highly promising.
