Shares of the company surged more than 11% in extended trading.

Robinhood’s transaction-based revenue, or income generated from fees for facilitating trading in options, cryptocurrency and equities, jumped 236% in the quarter to $672 million from a year earlier.

Nearly half of those gains came from a 700% rise in revenue related to crypto trading as bitcoin continued its rapid march towards the $100,000 mark in the quarter on hopes of favorable policies under the new Trump administration.

“We hit the gas on product development in 2024 with a new platform for active traders, Gold Card launch, an expanded UK and EU product suite, and much more,” Robinhood co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev said.

The Menlo Park, California-based company reported a profit of $916 million, or $1.01 per share, in the three months ended Dec. 31. That compares with $30 million, or 3 cents per share, a year earlier.
