Robinhood CEO Predicts Prediction Markets Could Reach Trillions In Annual Volume
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated during a February 2026 earnings call that the company's prediction markets business is entering a 'supercycle' with potential to drive trillions in annual volume. He highlighted over 12 billion contracts traded in 2025, marking significant growth for Robinhood’s fastest-growing segment, which had a $300 million-plus run rate in its first year. Tenev emphasized that prediction markets are listed under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and cover areas like sports, elections, and economic events. While Robinhood is currently the largest retail brokerage firm offering these contracts, it remains small relative to overall company revenue—accounting for roughly 6% of its $4.5 billion in 2025. Analysts have estimated that prediction markets could reach a total industry volume of $1 trillion by 2030. Robinhood CFO Shiv Verma noted April 2026 volumes were approaching record levels, suggesting continued growth potential for the segment.
