On April 30, COINOTAG News reported that JPMorgan analyst Kenneth Worthington flagged potential challenges for Robinhood’s (HOOD) **cryptocurrency trading** revenue stability. The platform, poised to unveil its first-quarter earnings post-market on May 1, may witness a significant contraction in digital asset trading volume, which surged by **700%** in the previous year’s last quarter. The anticipated drop in quarterly **cryptocurrency trading** volume is noteworthy, with forecasts indicating a slide from $71 billion to approximately $52 billion amid a broader market pullback.
Moreover, the **Assets Under Custody (AUC)** are expected to decline by **5%**, amounting to $183.3 billion quarter-over-quarter, although still reflecting a robust **41% year-over-year growth**. Analysts suggest the momentum from the retail buying frenzy, driven by U.S. tariff policy in early April, may not suffice to counteract the anticipated downturn. Additionally, a lack of interest in **margin and derivative trading** could further suppress Robinhood’s **financial performance**. Consequently, JPMorgan retains a “Neutral” outlook, adjusting its target price to $44, indicating a potential **10% downside** from the current share price of $49. (Source: CoinDesk)
