Investment in Robinhood pre-IPO stock is complete

Robinhood app transformed the online brokerage industry by introducing convenient and fee-free trading.

Investment in Robinhood was first introduced on our platform in July 2019. Then a single share was $15.2, with the company’s valuation hitting $11.5 billion.

The pandemic took Robinhood through a surge of popularity, leading to a twofold increase in the number of customers. Now the app is used by 23 million people. In April 2021, its stock price on the private market was as high as $65.

Robinhood's financial performance over the past few quarters has been erratic: revenue per user climbed to $137 and then dropped to $64. This is largely due to the craze of meme stock and crypto trading. The tumult in tech stocks also had a negative impact on the dynamic of Robinhood shares.

The company went public in July 2021. The investment closed after the end of the lock-up period and the transfer of shares to our brokerage account. The share price was $13.10 on the first day of trading on February 14. Thus, the investment result excluding fees was -14% for those who invested in July 2019, and -79% for those who invested in Robinhood in April 2021.

According to Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, the company is considering new sources of income and will focus more on long-term investments. Robinhood expects the average deposit size to increase as the app's core audience (millennials) matures. 

Recently Robinhood launched ACATS, a feature that allows customers to transfer assets from other brokerages into Robinhood. In January 2022, the company launched a public beta for crypto wallets, letting customers deposit and withdraw cryptocurrencies. Robinhood also said it plans to expand into global markets beyond the U.S.
