Robinhood’s cryptocurrency revenue decreased 18% in the second quarter of 2023, due in part to a decline in the number of customers making such transactions, the firm said in its financial report.

Robinhood said cryptocurrency revenue fell to $31 million, down from $38 million in the previous quarter. According to a supplementary report, the number of clients making trades fell by 6% and transaction volumes per trader decreased by 15%.

The US-based company also reported a 43% drop in cryptocurrency trading volume in May compared to April. It also noted that trading volume in May was 68% lower than in the same month last year.

Robinhood said total net income for the quarter was $486 million, up 10% from the first quarter of this year.
