Robinhood highlighted its aspirations for worldwide development in its Q3 earnings statement, which was recently issued. “With an experienced team in place, we will soon launch brokerage operations in the UK,” the company added.

While total net revenue increased by 29% year on year to $467 million, transaction-based revenue declined by 11% year on year to $185 million. This dip was primarily caused by a 55% drop in crypto revenues to $23 million as a result of lower crypto trading volumes.
