Morning Minute: Robinhood Adds Perps, Weekend Stocks, and AI Traders

Summary

Robinhood announced a broad expansion of trading products aimed at active traders, including crypto perpetual futures, weekend stock trading, AI agents that can place trades, contracts tied to company earnings, longer options trading hours, and more intraday margin. The goal is to make one account handle stocks, crypto, and prediction markets seamlessly, pushing Robinhood closer to an “everything app” for trading. The key question now is which of these new offerings becomes the main driver of user growth and engagement.
