Robinhood's joint venture Rothera, approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to offer football contracts, is expected to see increased trading volume ahead of the football season. Analyst Patrick Moley from Piper Sandler notes that since Rothera's launch in June, about 23% of prediction market volume has shifted from Kalshi to Rothera. The strong engagement during the World Cup suggests a significant boost in Robinhood's prediction market revenue for the upcoming NFL and NCAA football seasons. Piper Sandler raised its earnings forecasts and price target for Robinhood, anticipating around $320 million in revenue from prediction markets in the last quarter of 2026.
