WazirX has once again postponed the distribution of its remaining user funds, pushing the timeline to May 2025. This marks another delay in the ongoing process, leaving many users waiting longer than expected. The exchange cited internal reasons for the setback but did not provide detailed explanations. Users who have been anticipating the release of their funds will now need to wait an additional month as the new distribution plan takes shape.
Robinhood Markets reported its first quarter (Q1) earnings on Wednesday, revealing commendable growth over the past several months.
The development adds to Robinhood’s list of bullish developments this year after the US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) dropped its probe against the online brokerage platform.
Robinhood Records 100% Q1 Crypto Revenue Growth
Robinhood Markets reported its Q1 earnings on Wednesday, April 30, detailing its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. The platform’s CEO and co-founder, Vlad Tenev, and CFO Jason Warnick led the broadcast, which was shared on X (Twitter) and YouTube.
While Tenev and Warnick had much to say about the brokerage platform’s performance in Q1 2025, the highlight was its crypto revenue between January and April.
Reportedly, crypto revenues doubled to $252 million, marking a 100% increase year-over-year (YoY). In the same tone, crypto trading volumes hit $46 billion, up by 28% YoY.
These are notable feats given fierce competition from centralized exchanges like Binance and Coinbase.
“We began the year strong with 50% YoY revenue growth and 106% EPS growth, alongside disciplined expense management. We’re also returning capital aggressively with expanded share repurchases, signaling confidence in our long-term growth,” said Warnick.
Perhaps the recent move by the US SEC to drop its probe into Robinhood exacerbated the financial traction. Despite its May 2024 Wells Notice against the platform, the securities regulator concluded the investigation without penalties.
Robinhood Shares Strategic and Operational Highlights
Beyond financial traction, Robinhood’s Q1 earnings revealed accelerated product innovation on different paradigms, including Robinhood Strategies, Banking, and Cortex. According to Tenev, customers warmed up to the platform’s offerings, adding credence to the platform’s notable Q1 revenues.
“…customers responded with record-breaking net deposits, Gold subscriptions, and trading volume across all asset classes,” Tenev stated.
Among the innovations presented, comprising strategic and operational highlights, is a Bitstamp acquisition in the pipeline, expected to close mid-2025. BeInCrypto recently reported details of the acquisition, citing a $200 million deal.
The acquisition comes as Robinhood looks to enhance its crypto services. Bitstamp brings over 50 active licenses and registrations worldwide. With this, Robinhood will integrate a reputable institutional business into its ecosystem.
Beyond the Bitstamp acquisition, Robinhood is also working on global expansion into the UK and EU, positioning itself as a fierce competitor in the crypto space.
Robinhood is also innovating with prediction markets like Kalshi and advanced trader tools, tapping into the growing demand for diverse crypto offerings. Its prediction market has reportedly traded over 1 billion event contracts in six months.
With 25.8 million funded customers and $221 billion in platform assets, Robinhood is becoming a go-to financial hub for crypto-savvy users.
Despite the bullish developments, Robinhood’s HOOD token has only increased by a modest 1% in the last 24 hours. As of this writing, it traded for $0.00003370 on the MEXC exchange against the USDT stablecoin.
The meme coin market is heating up like never before—and 2025 might just be the year it explodes. With the U.S. SEC inching closer to approving a spot Dogecoin ETF, investor optimism is surging. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts now assign a probability of 90% or higher to ETF approvals for altcoins like Dogecoin, thanks to recent filings that include “in-kind” redemptions—an ETF-friendly mechanism that significantly reduces tax burdens and slippage. If that green light comes through, it won’t just be Dogecoin that flies. A rising tide lifts all meme boats—and four meme coins stand to benefit massively, potentially delivering 20x gains or more in 2025. Let’s dive into the top contenders, starting with a presale phenom that’s quietly making waves.
Little Pepe ($LILPEPE): The Meme Prince Ready to Rule
In a sea of recycled memes and derivative tokens, Little Pepe stands apart. Billed as the heir to the legendary Pepe throne, $LILPEPE is more than a token—it’s the native currency of a Layer 2 blockchain designed to rival Ethereum’s limitations head-on. Boasting ultra-low fees, warp-speed transactions, and zero taxes, it’s setting a new standard for meme coin utility. The project is still in presale—Stage 4 is underway, with over $2.7 million raised out of a $4.475 million cap. More than 2.3 billion tokens have already been sold, priced at just $0.0013 per LILPEPE.
That price point leaves plenty of room for exponential growth. Analysts suggest that a 5000% increase is not only possible, but likely, if Little Pepe delivers on its roadmap—from exchange listings and viral campaigns to becoming a top 100 coin on CoinMarketCap. The $777K giveaway is what makes LILPEPE stand out. Ten winners will each get $77,000 in tokens. The campaign has already received more than 12,000 entries, which has gotten people talking and involved in the community before the debut. With zero buy/sell taxes, exchange liquidity already allocated, and a full-stack marketing blitz on the horizon, $LILPEPE may become the Dogecoin of the Layer 2 era.
Dogecoin (DOGE): The OG Ready to Make ETF History
Dogecoin is no stranger to the spotlight, but 2025 could see it achieve institutional validation with the approval of the first spot ETF based on Dogecoin. Bitwise recently amended its ETF filing with the SEC, including “in-kind” redemption structures—a significant positive development. Now trading above $0.17, DOGE is flashing strong bullish signals, including RSI divergence and whale accumulation. Analysts forecast a move to $1.00 in the short term, with $1.40 or higher by year-end, representing a return of over 700% from current levels. DOGE’s staying power is unmatched in the history of meme coins. And with ETF legitimacy on the table, plus support from heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Dogecoin could break through its all-time high and enter a new price paradigm in 2025.
Fartcoin (FARTCOIN): From Joke to Juggernaut
Launched on Solana, Fartcoin started as a meme within a meme—yet now finds itself rubbing shoulders with the top 10 meme tokens by market cap. With a valuation nearing $1 billion and daily volumes approaching $300 million, this token is no longer passing gas—it’s making serious moves. Recent listings on Coinbase and Arkham have turned Fartcoin into a real contender. Rumors of a FARTCOIN ETF filing are intensifying as institutional investors chase meme-driven liquidity. Should the meme ETF market mature alongside Dogecoin’s approval, Fartcoin could see a 1200% rally, putting a $12 target firmly within reach. For a coin born out of silliness, its momentum is no joke.
Pudgy Penguins (PENGU): The NFT-Meme Hybrid With Wall Street Eyes
PENGU brings a unique flavor to the meme scene by merging NFT culture with DeFi momentum. The token—anchored to the wildly popular Pudgy Penguins NFT brand—saw a sharp 32% price jump following news of a PENGU ETF filing from Canary Capital, backed by none other than VanEck. PENGU’s dual exposure—both as a token and a collectible brand—offers diversified upside. Analysts believe that PENGU could rise 15 to 20 times this year, with a target price of $0.20 as it gains popularity in both the cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets. It has cultural significance, high trade volumes, and ETF tailwinds, making it one of the best prospects for 2025.
Final Thoughts: Meme Mania 2.0 Has Officially Begun
With Dogecoin’s ETF approval all but guaranteed, the next wave of meme coins is preparing for liftoff. Little Pepe brings fresh tech and viral energy. Dogecoin has the legacy and ETF tailwind. Fartcoin is unexpectedly gaining real credibility. And PENGU is leading a new kind of meme-NFT hybrid revolution. Investors who missed the 2021 meme run are now getting a rare second chance. These four coins could each deliver 20x returns or more in 2025—and LILPEPE, currently in presale, might just be the biggest breakout of them all. The meme coin market is no longer a joke. It’s the future of viral finance—and it’s time to pay attention.
