🪙 Crypto, Gold, & Glory

Robinhood’s revenue isn’t just from stonks anymore:

• Crypto trading: $252M ▲ +100%

• Options: $240M ▲ +56%

• Equities: $56M ▲ +44%

Also worth noting: Robinhood now owns WonderFi, a major Canadian crypto platform. That’s not just diversification—it’s hoping for digital domination.

📉 Valuation Station

• Trailing P/E: 36.64

• Forward P/E: 44.44

• Price/Sales: 12.45

• EV/Revenue: 11.88

Yes, the valuation is spicy. But so is the growth.

⚠️ Risks? Oh, They’re There.

1. 🚀 Stock Up 7x in 18 months = ⚠️ Risk of correction

2. 🤼♂️ Fierce competition (looking at you, Schwab, Coinbase, SoFi...)

3. 🪙 Crypto exposure increases volatility—some call it “hedged innovation,” others call it “YOLO.”

4. 🧑⚖️ Regulatory rumblings may come back (remember the GameStop hearings?)

5. 🧝♂️ Irony: Robinhood may be making the rich richer. Is that... off-brand?

🎤 Verdict: Stealing the Show? Possibly. Stealing Your Heart? Likely.

Robinhood isn’t just a platform anymore—it’s becoming a powerhouse. With innovation speeding ahead, earnings exploding, Renaissance on board, and customers piling in, this might be the fairest shot at a fintech giant stealing the crown.

But with great growth comes great volatility. So:

🍽️ Starter position? Sure.
🍔 All-in burger bet? Only if you like financial fireworks.
🍷 Pair with patience.
