For comparison, only 17 percent of Robinhood’s revenue came from cryptocurrencies in the first quarter. Dogecoin accounted for 34 percent of the whole sum.
As reported by U.Today, the commission-free trading app went public in late July. After a rough start, the company’s shares started soaring, but the frenzy was short-lived.
