Robinhood Unveils High-Leverage Crypto Perps and Weekend Trading
Robinhood has made several announcements at its HOOD Summit that will benefit active traders. The company plans to offer US crypto perpetual futures with up to 10x leverage on Bitcoin and Ether, alongside weekend stock and ETF trading targeted for early 2027.
The new products include US crypto perpetual futures with up to 10x leverage on eight assets - BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK, and HYPE. This is a significant move as traders will be able to take long or short positions directly in the app, with stop-loss and take-profit orders, real-time liquidation-price tracking, and alerts when positions are at risk.
The weekend trading plan is narrower - a curated list of securities - but it pushes the equities market toward the same always-on schedule crypto already operates under. This change will be made possible through Bruce ATS as the venue, subject to regulatory review.
