Robinhood still Bullish on Crypto Despite Drop
In the third quarter of 2022, cryptocurrency revenue on the Robinhood trading platform dropped 12% compared to the previous quarter, despite the firm's CEO saying that the results will not temper his company's ambition to serve the market.
The CEO cited a 12% drop in monthly active users (MAUs) and a 24% drop in notional volume as the key contributors to a 12% decline in crypto revenue, which amounted to $51 million.
Customers continued to navigate volatile markets, the company stated in its quarterly report. Despite this, the company said it would continue to invest resources in the crypto market, including rolling out support for more cryptocurrencies, a new international retail-focused wallet, and NFT features on its platform.

JP Morgan’s First DeFi Trade?

The trade was done through the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Project Guardian on Polygon on November 2nd, and was deemed a success. This was a pilot program which tested the use of tokens by a TradFi outfit to see how transactions can happen between the two entities, amongst other use cases.
