Robinhood's market cap has ranged $15B-$55B in 2024-2026 with massive swings on retail engagement, crypto-trading revenue cycles, and post-IPO overhangs unwinding. Ethereum's market cap ($280B-$500B) is 5-30x Robinhood. The comparison is both retail-driven — Robinhood is the primary retail-trading gateway for US equities and crypto; Ethereum is the largest settlement platform where retail crypto activity happens — and vertically adjacent. Robinhood added ETH staking (EU-only), listed more ERC-20s, and is rumored to be building native chain-interaction features. If ETH has a clean bull market, HOOD's crypto revenue typically outperforms its equity business, making HOOD a high-beta retail-crypto proxy. Correlation with ETH is meaningful (0.4-0.6 rolling) during crypto cycles.
