Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and others: Cryptocurrencies to watch this week
Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, is on the cusp of a historic milestone: $100,000. Last week, it came close, reaching an all-time high of $99,645 before retreating slightly. As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $98,000, maintaining a strong position despite the minor pullback.
Crypto enthusiasts worldwide are eagerly watching, hopeful that Bitcoin will soon shatter the $100,000 barrier—a market milestone that would further cement its status in financial history.
The cryptocurrency has shown impressive momentum, gaining over 8% in the past week and continuing its upward trajectory.

Robinhood’s Q3 trading revenue jumps 129% YoY, ‘primarily driven by cryptocurrency revenue’
Shares of Robinhood’s stock, ticker HOOD, were up over 4.15% at market close on Wednesday after the U.S.-based brokerage posted third-quarter gains. The firm saw transaction-based revenues jump 129% year-over-year to $730 million, “primarily driven by cryptocurrencies revenue,” according to the earnings report.
Crypto revenue was up over 300% in Q3 to $268 million. Options revenues, Robinhood’s largest revenue source, were up about 50% to $304 million, while equities trading revenue increased 132% to $86 million.
“Q3 was another strong quarter of profitable growth, and we continued to diversify our business, adding two more business lines — Prediction Markets and Bitstamp — that are generating approximately $100 million or more in annualized revenues,” Chief Finance Officer Jason Warnick said in a release.
In total, Robinhood’s total revenue came in at $1.27 billion, more than the $1.19 billion expected, while earnings per share came in at $0.61, ahead of estimates around $0.53, according to CNBC projections.
This is compared to Robinhood’s Q2 gains, which saw crypto trading volume increase 32% year-over-year to $28 billion and transaction-based cryptocurrencies revenue climb 98% to $160 million.
Meanwhile, the number of funded customers on Robinhood increased by 2.5 million year-over-year to a record 26.8 million in Q3, corresponding with “total platform assets” growing nearly 120% to a record $333 billion.
Of note, Robinhood has been working to increase its footprint in the European market, including through its acquisition of Bitstamp, a deal closed in June that enabled it to roll out crypto perps across the EU, and a partnership with Arbitrum to launch over 400 Stock Tokens mirroring U.S. equities.
The firm also acquired the Canada-based WonderFi exchange in an all-cash $179 million deal in Q2 2025.
