Robinhood reports 24% increase in daily crypto trading volume in September
The trading platform's crypto business continues its rebound, though volumes remain well below last year's highs
Robinhood’s crypto trading desk just posted its second consecutive month of meaningful growth. Daily notional crypto trading volume climbed 24% in September compared to August, extending a streak that saw August volumes surge 61% over July.
The numbers in context
August’s notional crypto trading volume came in at $17.5B, up from $10.9B in July. That works out to roughly $565M in average daily trading volume for the month.
If September’s 24% daily increase holds across the full month, the platform would be tracking somewhere north of $700M per day.
But zoom out and the picture gets more complicated. August 2026’s $17.5B in crypto volume was still 38% lower than August 2025, when traders pushed $28.1B through the platform.
The volume split between Robinhood’s two crypto channels is worth noting. In August, Bitstamp, the exchange Robinhood acquired, contributed $10.1B of the total. The Robinhood app itself accounted for $7.4B.

Robinhood Chain enters the picture
Robinhood Chain, the company’s proprietary blockchain that launched in July, has been generating daily decentralized exchange activity exceeding $1.5B as of early September.
Those on-chain figures are counted separately from the notional trading volumes Robinhood reports in its operating metrics. In other words, the 24% increase in daily crypto trading volume doesn’t include what’s happening on Robinhood Chain.
Broader business health
As of August, the platform counted 28.6 million funded customers. Total assets approached $384B, a 26% increase year-over-year.
In August, Bitstamp’s $10.1B contribution means the acquisition is already pulling significant weight within the overall crypto strategy.
