Robinhood Expands Trading Platform with Automated Tools and Crypto Derivatives
Robinhood is expanding its trading platform to cater to more active traders. The company announced several major product expansions at its HOOD Summit in Houston, including longer market hours and automated trading tools.
The new features will allow customers to trade selected U.S. equities throughout the week, including Saturdays and Sundays. This move extends the existing 24/5 trading service, which launched in 2023. The weekend service will cover selected stocks and ETFs through Bruce ATS.
Robinhood is also extending options trading hours and increasing access to intraday margin. These changes respond to growing demand for markets that operate beyond traditional U.S. trading sessions. Crypto markets already operate around the clock, influencing broader financial markets.
