Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:HOOD) shares are trading lower Monday afternoon as a fresh slide in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and other major cryptocurrencies pressured one of the market's most crypto-sensitive brokerage stocks. Here’s what investors need to know.
What To Know: Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) hovered near $84,500 Monday morning after tumbling from recent highs above $90,000 and dropping more than 20% over the past month amid renewed macro worries and profit-taking across digital assets.
The latest pullback follows last week's optimism, when Robinhood rallied on plans to launch a futures and derivatives exchange focused on prediction markets and won a reiterated Buy rating and $175 price target from Goldman Sachs analyst James Yaro.
Why The Crypto Pullback Matters: A large share of Robinhood’s transaction-based revenue still comes from customer trading in Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).
When crypto prices fall sharply, novice traders tend to trade less, new account openings slow and margin activity cools. Lower coin prices also shrink the value of crypto assets held on the platform, reducing net interest and lending opportunities tied to those balances.
Because of that tight linkage, HOOD often behaves like a leveraged play on crypto sentiment rather than a traditional broker. Monday's drop suggests small investors are bracing for a longer period of subdued trading volumes if digital-asset prices stay under pressure ahead.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to Benzinga Edge stock rankings, Robinhood carries an elite 97.10 Momentum score and 95.31 Growth score, placing it among the market's strongest trend and expansion names even as its Value score sits at just 6.57.
HOOD Price Action: Robinhood Markets shares were down 4% at $123.44 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in Robinhood Markets’ case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
