Robinhood's evolution is a symbol of the broader convergence of crypto and mainstream finance

Happy Friday. As many of you are already en route to see loved ones or blissfully unplugged from the Internet for a few days, we'll keep this last newsletter of the year a short one. I'd like to use it to point to my colleague Ben Weiss's new profile of Robinhood, which I've been reporting on since it was a buzzy startup and is now a decade old, including more than two years as a public company (writing this makes me feel old!).

Robinhood has had more than a few ups and downs during this time, including on the crypto front. This is underscored by a striking chart in Ben's profile that shows how the company's proportion of revenue from digital assets has ping-ponged from 4% in 2020 all the way to 43% during the mad days of 2021 and then back down to 5% in Q3 of this year.
