Robinhood (HOOD) unveiled an aggressive expansion of its trading services during its HOOD Summit '26 event on Tuesday, 29 September 2026. The company announced it would move from a 24/5 trading schedule to a groundbreaking 24/7 market for U.S. equities, enabling retail traders to trade on weekends for the first time. Robinhood will add 35% more options trading hours, with new windows for major symbols like Nvidia, Tesla, SPY, and QQQ.

The company will offer intraday margin up to 4x buying power during market hours and introduce Robinhood Agents, an AI-powered trading system.
