Happy Friday, Blockfolians
The Lede
Coinbase has been the talk of the town this week, what with their absurd Q1 volume and revenue and net income and (it seems) valuation when they go public next week).
It’s one of their competitors, however, that is getting the attention today.
Robinhood announced that it had 9.5m users trade crypto in Q1. That’s especially insane given that in Congressional testimony they said they had 13m users today.
For those keeping track at home, that’s 50% more than Coinbase’s 6.1m active users from the same period.
You know who benefits from all this competition around retail crypto trading? The whole industry, which has more new people than ever joining the space.
