Robinhood

Robinhood allows U.S. customers to create their own AI agents in the app that can buy and sell stocks and will soon run automated strategies (“Loops”). Users choose models such as OpenAI or Anthropic; model use is free through the end of the year, after which compute and data subscription fees will apply. Agents trade by default in separate subaccounts and normally require manual transaction approvals, but that approval can be turned off so orders can be placed autonomously. Experts warn of higher volatility risks from autonomous systems; Robinhood cautions that customers bear the full risk of trades executed by AI agents. » More on handelsblatt.com

Robinhood is bringing agent-based trading to its platform with “Robinhood Agents”; users can create their own agents, choose models like GPT-6 Luna, and have them execute automated buy/sell instructions as well as, in the future, complex “loops.” Model use is free until the end of the year; afterwards compute costs will be billed based on usage. Additional data sources are paid via subscription (e.g., Nasdaq $10/month). Agents trade by default in a separate subaccount and normally require manual transaction approvals, but that setting can be disabled so orders are placed autonomously. Robinhood also announced 24-hour trading including weekends; experts warn of increased market volatility from autonomous AI agents, and Robinhood emphasizes that customers bear full risk for trades executed by AI. » More on handelsblatt.com

Kerbrat cites decentralized exchanges, regulatory differences (MiCA, Clarity Act) and the use of AI agents as drivers of change in equity trading. » More on deraktionaer.de
