Robinhood Markets Inc. (HOOD) is positioned to add $16 billion in market capitalization as the company expands deeper into prediction market services, according to analyst projections.
The brokerage firm has partnered with Kalshi, a prediction market platform, to allow users to bet on events like elections directly through its mobile app. This integration has contributed to increased trading volumes across the platform.
Prediction market contract volumes on platforms like Kalshi are projected to reach a record $2.6 billion by September 2025, reflecting growing user interest in event-based betting amid high-profile events like U.S. elections.
Robinhood’s market cap has surged from around $20 billion in early 2024 to over $80 billion by mid-2025. The growth has been fueled by expansions into new areas including crypto trading and prediction markets, marking a recovery from post-IPO lows in 2022.
The company’s diversification strategy beyond traditional stock trading has attracted analyst attention, with firms like Piper Sandler issuing bullish price targets based on the platform’s growth potential.
