Sports Betting Built the Prediction Market Boom. Is It Headed for a Ban?
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Robinhood generated $173 million in revenue from event contracts last quarter, surpassing the $120 million it earned from crypto, with most of that growth driven by sports wagers, according to its quarterly filing. Event contracts allow customers to bet on game outcomes, elections, and other events, and exchanges such as Kalshi have fueled the prediction market boom. The disclosure highlights how sports betting has become a larger revenue driver for Robinhood than crypto. The key question now is whether regulators will move to ban or restrict these event contracts, which would directly affect Robinhood's fastest-growing business line.
