BIG news out of Robinhood’s HOOD Summit today. The brokerage is pushing hard toward a world where markets are always on and increasingly traded by AI: • 24/7 stock trading, including weekends, starting with select stocks and ETFs, pending regulatory review • Corporate earnings prediction markets through Cboe, letting users trade outcomes like revenue and EPS beats • Perpetual futures for eligible U.S. customers • AI trading agents that can research markets, build strategies and eventually execute trades while users are offline • “Loops” will let those agents run strategies repeatedly without the user being logged in • Robinhood’s social trading platform is expanding to eligible U.S. customers Robinhood’s pitch is essentially to put tools once associated with hedge funds and professional trading desks directly into the hands of retail investors. The bigger theme: markets are becoming 24/7, multi-asset and increasingly agentic.
