Robinhood has announced the launch Robinhood Agents.

The launch comes several months after the company introduced agentic trading, giving tech-savvy customers a way to connect their own third-party AI agents to Robinhood, safely and autonomously. Since launch, over 150,000 customers have opened agentic trading accounts and now, agents use Robinhood’s tools almost 30 million times a day.

The experience now lives right inside the Robinhood app, meaning anyone, regardless of their familiarity with AI, can easily build their own agents to help them develop powerful strategies, run detailed research, or trade automatically.

“With safety and security at its core, we’re setting the standard for what agentic finance can be,” said Abhishek Fatehpuria, VP of Product Management at Robinhood. “Whether you’re an expert or are just getting started with AI, you’re at a disadvantage if you’re not using Robinhood.”

Setup is simple: give your agent a name, open a dedicated agentic account, choose a model from several leading AI labs including OpenAI, and you’re ready to go–with your agent trading within the strategy and limits you set. Plus, usage on OpenAI GPT-Luna will be free until the end of the year.

From there, you can:

• Create and execute a strategy: Chat with your agent, analyze the market in seconds, and make trades, all without ever leaving the Robinhood app. The Robinhood Trading MCP the company launched this summer is still there for customers who want to connect their own third-party agents. Robinhood Agents is a new option built right into the app, so no linking or setup is required.
• Manage your safety controls: Your agent can only access the funds in your dedicated agentic trading account. You can choose to manually approve each trade, which is a setting shown during setup and defaults to on, and it is adjustable at any time.
• Set and run it with Loops: Robinhood plans to launch Loops, which allow you to turn a strategy into a standing, ongoing instruction for your agent to execute on repeat, around the clock.

By default, Robinhood Agents have access to the dozens of market data sources available in the Robinhood Trading MCP, along with your portfolio data. With Robinhood’s new Agent Apps, you can give your Robinhood Agents an even greater edge by subscribing to premium data sources and tools from 11 different leading companies.

Robinhood Agents and Agent Apps are coming soon to eligible U.S. customers.

Also, pending regulatory review, Robinhood is expanding its trading hours to let customers trade a selection of U.S. equities 24/7, including weekends. New weekend trading is an extension of the Robinhood 24 Hour Market, which first launched in 2023 and enables customers to trade hundreds of stocks and ETFs from Sunday at 8pm ET through Friday at 8pm ET.

Weekend trading will start with a curated list of stocks and ETFs across all account types. Weekend trading is powered by Bruce ATS, an institutional-grade alternative trading system that offers strong liquidity, resiliency and execution quality.

In addition, Robinhood is expanding the types of trades you can make on Robinhood with the launch of perpetual futures and earnings contracts.

• Perpetual Futures: In the coming months, eligible U.S. customers will be able to trade perpetual futures right inside the Robinhood app. You’ll be able to take long or short positions on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK, or HYPE with no expiration dates, and up to 10x leverage on BTC and ETH perpetuals (3x leverage on everything else).
• Earnings Contracts: Ahead of Q3 earnings season, Robinhood is launching new earnings contracts in its prediction markets hub. They’re binary options contracts made available through Cboe that allow you to trade on company-specific KPIs like whether a company beats earnings, hits a revenue target, or crosses a key financial milestone. Earnings contracts will require options approval and will begin rolling out to eligible customers in the coming weeks. Cboe will not charge fees on earnings contracts through the end of the year, subject to regulatory review. Robinhood will not charge any contract fees through the end of the year.

Robinhood Social launched in beta earlier this year, and tonight it’s going live to all eligible customers in the U.S. Robinhood is making several major updates to the experience, including: new post types for sharing crypto and stock charts, portfolio allocations, and profit-and-loss; and coming in time for Q3 earnings season, a new live earnings experience, which lets customers watch earnings calls and trade in real time as they happen.

Coming soon, verified market commentators from other websites, news, and company profiles will bring breaking market news directly into the app so you can stay on top of major events from the companies you care about. Robinhood Social is also coming soon as a Legend widget, putting your trading community right alongside your active trading hub.
