Monthly active users on the platform decreased 10% to 15.9 million for March 2022, compared with 17.7 million for March the previous year. The numbers were also down 8% form the end of December 2021. The broker attributed the decline to users with lower balances, who are engaging less in the current market environment.</p> <p>The average revenue per user fell 62% to $53.</p> <p>Robinhood’s Chief Financial Officer, Jason Warnick said:</p> <blockquote><p>We&#8217;re seeing our customers affected by the macroeconomic environment, which is reflected in our results this quarter. At the same time, we&#8217;ve also made progress on our long-term plans and continue to pursue them aggressively.</p></blockquote> <p>The quarterly metrics report follows the broker’s announcement of a 9% layoff of its staff. The company’s shares are also trading near an all-time low since <a target="_blank" href="https://www.leaprate.com/tag/robinhood/" rel="noopener">Robinhood</a>’s IPO last year.</p> <p>However, the company continued its international expansion by acquiring UK-licensed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.leaprate.com/cryptocurrency/robinhood-to-acquire-uk-digital-currency-firm-ziglu/" rel="noopener">crypto company, Ziglu.</a></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.leaprate.com/forex/brokers/robinhood-sees-a-43-revenue-drop-in-q1-2022/">Robinhood sees a 43% revenue drop in Q1 2022</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.leaprate.com">LeapRate</a>.</p>
