Bitstamp Surpasses Robinhood in Crypto Trading Volumes for August

Bitstamp, which recently bought, had more crypto trading volume than its parent firm in August 2025. This is a large move for the cryptocurrency platform market. Bitstamp had a significant trading volume of $14.4 billion, which is 21% more than in July. 

This milestone shows how Bitstamp is becoming more significant in the crypto sector. This is especially impressive since Robinhood bought Bitstamp for $200 million just three months earlier, on June 2, 2025. The rise shows that can draw in both retail and institutional investors thanks to its strong reputation and worldwide reach.

Robinhood’s Trading Volume Decline

In comparison, Robinhood reported an 18% fall in its crypto trading volume, totaling $13.7 billion in August. This drop comes later than a record-breaking quarter in November 2024, with a bit of a rise in July, followed by the August drop.

Ryan McMillin, CEO of Merkle Tree Capital, said that the drop could be due to seasonal reasons, such as less trading activity during the summer holidays in North . Despite the decline, Robinhood’s total platform assets by 2% to $304 billion, including about $41 million in crypto assets, suggesting resiliency in its larger financial ecosystem.

Strategic Acquisition Fuels Growth

Robinhood’s purchase of Bitstamp has been a large win for the company, bringing in more than 5,000 institutional clients and 50,000 retail consumers. Bitstamp, which is now called Bitstamp by Robinhood, works perfectly with Robinhood Legend and its Smart platform Routing system, making trading easier between platforms. 

This synergy has reinforced Robinhood’s goals in the real-world asset tokenization market, with Bitstamp playing a vital role. Robinhood’s launch of a tokenization-focused in the EU and perpetual futures with up to three times leverage, which are routed through Bitstamp’s infrastructure, also adds to its services.

The Market and What Will Happen in the Future

In August, the whole crypto market only saw a slight rise in trade volumes, and prices stayed very constant. As the market waits for necessary macroeconomic signals like possible increases in interest rates, Bitstamp’s performance shows that it can do well in a quieter market.

Bitstamp has a strong regulatory framework, with more than 50 global licenses. This puts it in a excellent position to assist Robinhood grow around the world and focus on institutional clients, which could change the competitive landscape against large players like and Binance.
