Robinhood says its AI agent feature will ‘soon’ be assisting crypto traders
Robinhood plans to let eligible US customers connect third-party AI agents to place crypto trades on their behalf, expanding its autonomous trading tools beyond equities and options. The company has not set a US launch date, but said UK users will be next. The service will let users set strategies and guardrails without constantly monitoring accounts. Robinhood is also pushing broader crypto initiatives, including real-world asset tokenization and its Ethereum layer-2 Robinhood Chain, which the company said handled 17 million transactions from nearly 350,000 wallet addresses in its first week. Since late May, more than 70,000 agentic accounts have been created for equities and options traders. The company frames AI agents as helping retail investors access data and capabilities usually available to institutions. It offers these agentic accounts through providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI’s Grok, and is also enabling AI-driven credit card purchases.
