TREE NEWS update: Robinhood is preparing to launch 10x crypto perpetual futures for US traders, routing orders through Bitstamp at 0.01% per trade through year-end. The brokerage also unveiled AI trading agents in its app and plans weekend stock trading, pending regulatory review.
Robinhood to Offer 10x Crypto Perps to US Traders via Bitstamp
The significance is less the leverage than the venue: a mainstream US brokerage pushing perpetuals through an acquired exchange signals perps are being normalized inside regulated retail infrastructure. That affects US retail traders who previously had to leave the app for offshore venues, and it puts Robinhood closer to the derivatives incumbents it has spent years undercutting. The open questions are whether the 0.01% fee is a promotional wedge or a durable pricing model, and whether bundling AI agents alongside leveraged products invites the regulatory scrutiny the weekend-trading plan already acknowledges.
