Bitstamp, recently acquired by Robinhood for $200 million, has overtaken its parent’s crypto trading volumes just three months after the deal. According to Robinhood’s report, Bitstamp processed $14.4 billion in trades in August, up 21% from July, while Robinhood’s own volumes fell 18% to $13.7 billion.
The acquisition added over 5,000 institutional clients and 50,000 retail users to Robinhood’s base, helping drive activity. Bitstamp now plays a central role in Robinhood’s expansion into real-world asset tokenization, with integration into Robinhood Legend and its Smart Exchange Routing system allowing smoother cross-platform trades.
While combined trading volumes of both firms slipped 2.1% from the prior month, Robinhood’s total assets rose 2% to $304 billion, including $41 million in crypto. The performance underscores how Bitstamp could become a cornerstone of Robinhood’s broader crypto ambitions.
By leveraging Bitstamp’s institutional strength, Robinhood is positioning itself to compete more aggressively in digital assets and tokenized financial products.
