What happened
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev described using active trading as the foundation of the company's business to acquire customers and transition them into wealth management and retirement products. The company's second-quarter results showed total net revenue increased 32% year over year to $1.31 billion, even as cryptocurrency revenue fell 38% to $100 million.

Why it matters
The firm's diversification strategy is supported by growth in non-crypto areas. Retirement assets under custody grew 82% year over year to $34.5 billion, and Robinhood Banking attracted more than $3 billion in deposits from roughly 240,000 funded customers.
