Crypto exchange Robinhood has unveiled plans to enable AI crypto and stock trading, allowing customers to deploy AI agents to trade for them.

Robinhood will let users set spending limits and require manual approvals to prevent unauthorized AI trades or purchases.
Robinhood's prediction markets will position it as a competitor to platforms like Polymarket.

Crypto exchange Robinhood has unveiled plans to enable AI crypto and stock trading, allowing customers to deploy AI agents to trade for them. The HOOD stock has climbed on the back of this development, with the feature also enabling credit card purchases for these customers.
Robinhood Unveils Plans For AI Crypto and Stock Trading
According to a Reuters report, the crypto exchange will allow customers to deploy AI agents to trade stocks on its platforms and make purchases on its credit card. Users will be able to deploy this AI stock trading feature on a dedicated trading account, separate from their primary accounts.
Furthermore, Robinhood revealed that the feature will initially roll out for stock trading, but it expects to expand it to derivatives, crypto, and prediction markets. Notably, the platform also offers its prediction markets, rivaling top crypto prediction market platforms like Polymarket.
Meanwhile, the brokerage platform also noted that users can give AI agents access to their Robinhood Gold credit card to make automatic purchases. These agents can also make purchases once prices drop below a set threshold.
Commenting on this move, Robinhood’s Vice President of Product Management, Abhishek Fatehpuria, said, “I think our audience right now is the early adopters of agents.” The platform also acknowledged the risks of such a feature.
As such, the executives revealed that they have put in place sufficient measures to address concerns about an AI agent going rogue and making an unsanctioned trade or purchase on a user’s account. Users will be able to set spending limits on the agentic card accounts and require manual approval before any purchase.
Hood Stock Up Over 2%
Robinhood’s stock is up over 2% today on the back of this development. The HOOD stock is currently trading at around $76, according to TradingView data. The stock is notably bucking the general trend, with crypto stocks down alongside Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.
However, the crypto stock remains down over 34% year-to-date (YTD). The stock is also down over 37% over the last six months, around the time the crypto bear market began after Bitcoin topped in October 2025.
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the SpaceX IPO is an upcoming bullish catalyst for the Robinhood stock. Elon Musk’s company has chosen the brokerage as one through which retail investors will be able to buy a portion of shares in the public offering.
