Robinhood Unveils Biggest Product Update: AI Agents, 24/7 Stock Trading, Perps

Robinhood announced its largest-ever trading product update at the HOOD Summit 2026 in Houston, adding in-app AI Agents, 24/7 US stock trading, perpetual futures and earnings contracts. The company said more than 150,000 users have opened Agentic Trading accounts since May, with AI agents now calling Robinhood tools nearly 30 million times a day. Perps will cover BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK and HYPE, with BTC and ETH at up to 10x leverage.

AI take

The more telling disclosure is the agent usage figure: AI agents calling Robinhood tools far outpaces the accounts opened for them, implying the integration is being driven by automated activity rather than retail adoption. Pairing that with 24/7 equity trading and perpetual futures pushes Robinhood toward crypto-native market structure while its core business remains US equities — a positioning straddle that regulators and incumbent exchanges are likely to probe. Whether the perpetuals lineup expands beyond the initial tokens, and how 24/7 sessions behave during earnings events, are the open questions.
