Robinhood Launches AI Trading Agents and 24/7 Stock Trading

Robinhood launched AI-powered trading agents for its 29 million customers during the annual HOOD summit at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. These tools allow users to conduct market research, build investment strategies, and execute trades for stocks, options, bitcoin, and prediction-market contracts using plain English instructions. The platform integrates models from OpenAI, including GPT-6 Luna and GPT-6 Sol, and Anthropic's Opus 4.8.

To manage risk, the company implemented guardrails such as trade limits and dedicated agentic trading accounts that isolate funds from main accounts. A forthcoming feature called Loops will allow AI agents to monitor markets and execute strategies repeatedly without the user being logged in. Robinhood reports that agents are already transacting nearly 30 million times a day, with over 150,000 customers opening dedicated accounts.

Beyond AI, the brokerage announced it will allow customers to trade select U.S. equities 24/7, including weekends, starting next year. The company is also introducing crypto perpetual futures contracts to provide leveraged exposure to cryptocurrencies. CEO Vlad Tenev stated these updates aim to deliver tools once reserved for hedge funds and Wall Street professionals to retail traders, placing the firm in direct competition with traditional brokerages and crypto-native platforms.
