Robinhood is rolling out an AI agent that can trade on behalf of users around the clock, alongside 10x leveraged crypto perpetual futures and expanded weekend trading hours.

The brokerage says the additions are part of a push to attract more active traders by expanding trading hours and adding automated, leveraged trading tools.

For beginners Leveraged perpetual futures let traders take positions that magnify both gains and losses, and automated AI agents trading around the clock remove the pause a human normally takes before placing a trade.
