In a flurry of product launches and platform upgrades over the past year, Robinhood has added: 1) an advanced trading platform to target active traders; 2) a prediction market hub for sports fans and economic data wagers; 3) an IRA with a bonus % match; 4) over a dozen new tradeable cryptocurrencies; and much more. With so many announcements, it can be challenging to track the actual impact of individual products and features to decipher what is actually moving the needle.

In that month, we observed the largest monthly increase (and absolute level) of time spent per DAU within the youngest age cohort (who are most likely to be involved in crypto) in our device-level Advanced data. While time spent per DAU normalized following the major influx of first time users, these crypto heavy investors are starting to peak their heads out again in late Q2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.28.36-PM-1024x534.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.28.36-PM-1024x534.webp 1024w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.28.36-PM-300x156.webp 300w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.28.36-PM-768x400.webp 768w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.28.36-PM.webp 1120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Prediction Market Hub<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In March of this year Robinhood added a new \u201cPrediction Market\u201d hub in their mobile app allowing users to bet on various events related to sporting, economic data, and even political elections. This comes as we have seen a steady increase in online betting and predictions platforms like DraftKings\/Fanduel for sports, or platforms like Polymarket for more broad-based prediction contracts. So is this a waste of resources or can Robinhood really carve out a space? As of June we see 10-15% of DraftKings and Fanduel users also using Robinhood on a monthly basis, and nearly 25% of Polymarket users! What&#8217;s more, Robinhood users who also use FanDuel and DraftKings dropped 19% and 31%, respectively, since the beginning of March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.29.54-PM-1024x679.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.29.54-PM-1024x679.webp 1024w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.29.54-PM-300x199.webp 300w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.29.54-PM-768x509.webp 768w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-29-at-4.29.54-PM.webp 1120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Robinhood Legends, Robinhood Retirement, Index Options, Future and More<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>o you want to see how power users (top 10% of active users) have trended since Robinhood\u2019s increased focus on active trading tools?
