Robinhood shared detailed data on how much contribution it received from which market in its second quarter report. Revenue in the crypto market, which accounts for 16% of the US-based company in trading, fell from 38 million to 31 million dollars. The leading exchange’s only revenue loss wasn’t limited to crypto. The company also suffered a loss in the range of 5-7% in stock and option income. The fact that the decrease in crypto was more created a question mark in the minds.
