Bitstamp accounted for $20 billion, or 77%, of the $26 billion decline in Robinhood’s reported crypto notional quantity from the primary to the second quarter of 2026.
Quantity attributed to Bitstamp fell 48%, from $42 billion within the first quarter to $22 billion within the second quarter. The Robinhood App declined 25%, from $24 billion to $18 billion, accounting for the remaining $6 billion of the sequential drop.
Robinhood’s crypto notional shrank 39%, from $66 billion to $40 billion, and Bitstamp provided greater than three-quarters of the drop. The headline whole now folds two completely different buyer mixes into one quantity, muddying the view of exercise inside Robinhood’s retail app.
When Robinhood closed the Bitstamp acquisition in June 2025, it mentioned Bitstamp had greater than 500,000 funded retail prospects and about 5,000 funded institutional prospects, with most of its quantity coming from establishments. Bitstamp’s trajectory is subsequently not a direct measure of Robinhood App engagement.
There’s a second comparability break contained in the App sequence. Robinhood’s Q2 disclosure says the metric started together with executed crypto trades from WonderFi prospects in June.
That provides one month of a brand new reporting perimeter to Q2, so the App’s 25% sequential decline is just not a wonderfully like-for-like measure both.
Notional works like a site visitors counter, monitoring the greenback worth of trades relatively than the cash Robinhood makes from them. Crypto income is reported on the firm stage, leaving Bitstamp’s and the App’s particular person contributions unknown.
The venue break up provides a snapshot of the place buying and selling was recorded. Buyer motion between Bitstamp and the App stays exterior that image.
