Robinhood plans 24/7 AI trading agent and 10x crypto perpetuals
The brokerage says customers will soon be able to let an AI agent place trades around the clock and trade leveraged crypto perpetual futures.
Robinhood has announced plans to give customers an AI agent capable of executing trades on their behalf at any hour, alongside access to crypto perpetual futures with up to 10x leverage. The company outlined both products as forthcoming additions to its platform.
What was announced
- An AI agent that trades for users, including during overnight hours when markets would otherwise be quiet for them.
- Crypto perpetuals — futures-style contracts with no expiry date — available with leverage of up to 10x.
- Both features were presented as upcoming, rather than live, offerings.
Perpetual futures are the most heavily traded instrument in crypto derivatives, but they have largely been the domain of offshore venues. Access for U.S. retail investors has expanded gradually as regulated platforms have added crypto derivatives products, though leverage limits and eligibility rules often vary by jurisdiction.
The announcement did not include launch dates, fee details, or which markets would receive the features first, and it remains unclear how the AI agent's execution would be supervised or limited. Those operational details typically determine how such products are received by regulators and users alike.
