The market's been turbulent these past couple of days, but $HOOD is surprisingly strong. Personally, I see three main drivers behind this: 1. $HOOD's prediction market business is booming this June, with estimated monthly revenue hitting $93M and annualized revenue projected at $1B. If this holds true, that's basically double the revenue compared to Q1. $HOOD's Q2 earnings report is looking promising. 2. Robinhood Chain's mainnet launch hasn’t gotten much attention, but it’s definitely worth discussing. Robinhood Chain is designed for institutional-grade applications, AI-native architecture, and specifically optimized for real-world asset (RWA) blockchain infrastructure. Robinhood has also expanded its on-chain product lineup, covering trading and yield scenarios. They’re even rolling out Agentic Accounts for crypto assets, enabling smart trading models. 3. They’ve announced a global expansion strategy: holding down the fort in the U.S. with stocks and options as their core, while focusing on crypto innovation with a strategy of "compliant overseas deployment." Markets like Canada, Singapore, and the UK, where crypto regulatory frameworks are relatively clear, are being targeted through acquisitions and licensing to quickly enter and minimize policy risks. From my perspective, $HOOD should actually be expanding its stock business—allowing users from more countries and regions to open accounts (especially in the Asia-Pacific region). They could even take a page from IB’s playbook and enable access to stocks from various countries (especially Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Europe, etc.).
