Robinhood adds AI agents, crypto perps with 10x leverage and weekend trading
- —Crypto perps offered via Robinhood Derivatives and Bitstamp: up to 10x leverage on BTC and ETH, 3x on other assets
- —AI agents built on OpenAI and Anthropic models trade stocks, options and crypto; every trade requires approval by default
- —Weekend trading in U.S. stocks and ETFs launches through Bruce ATS after the 2023 24 Hour Market
- —More than 150,000 agentic accounts created, generating millions of tool calls daily
Why it matters: Robinhood is importing crypto-style products into traditional brokerage, intensifying competition for active traders and widening U.S. access to perpetual futures.
