The partnership was detailed in a press release on September 8, 2026. Robinhood’s equity stakes are priced according to valuations set by an earlier Citadel Securities investment in the platforms. No specific size or monetary value of the holdings was revealed.
Market context and growth

Analysts at Bernstein have projected that Robinhood’s total revenue, including prediction markets, could reach $1.7 billion by 2028.
