What is Robinhood?
Founded in 2013, California-based Robinhood Markets (HOOD) is a financial technology (fintech) company which operates in the trading sector. It has evolved into a diversified financial ecosystem, incorporating banking, asset management, and, more recently, mortgage lending and access to private markets.
The company earns revenue primarily through:
- Payments for order flow from market makers
- Interest on client cash balances
- Subscription income from Robinhood Gold
- Fees from asset management and new financial products
Since its 2021 Nasdaq Stock Market listing, Robinhood has continued to expand its user base and introduce new services, including futures trading, mortgage benefits, and a venture fund providing retail investors access to private AI companies – a move that broadens access to markets traditionally limited to institutional investors.
