Robinhood is seeing fast growth in prediction contracts linked to Bitcoin, gold, and crude oil, with $156 million in revenue from event contracts in Q2 2026, surpassing equity and crypto trading revenue. These contracts allow traders to speculate on financial outcomes without owning the assets, with some crypto contracts settling in as little as 15 minutes. This trend reflects a shift toward short-term financial speculation and offers Robinhood a new revenue stream amid declining crypto trading income. The growth also highlights regulatory and risk considerations, especially for rapid-settlement contracts.
