Robinhood Unveils Crypto Perpetual Futures and Weekend Trading

Robinhood is set to introduce crypto perpetual futures contracts for qualified American customers in the upcoming months.

Leverage options will reach 10x for Bitcoin and Ethereum, with six additional cryptocurrencies offering 3x leverage. Bitstamp will facilitate these transactions at a fee of 0.01% per trade until December 2026.

The platform is also developing continuous trading capabilities for a selected group of US equities and exchange-traded funds, allowing for around-the-clock weekend service. This feature is expected to debut in early 2027, subject to regulatory approval.
