Robinhood unveils weekend hours, AI agents to allow users to trade nonstop
Robinhood is broadening its offerings in a bid for more active traders who may be seeking trading access beyond traditional U.S. stock market hours.
Robinhood has unveiled new AI-powered trading agents and expanded weekend trading hours, aiming to enhance customer experience and accessibility. The company's Robinhood Agents, announced at HOOD Summit 2026, enable users to create personalized AI agents for strategy development, research, or automatic trading, emphasizing safety and security.
Since May's agentic trading rollout, over 15,000 users have utilized the service, with agents interacting with Robinhood tools nearly 30 million times daily. PYMNTS Intelligence research indicates that power users, those employing AI for 27 or more tasks monthly, now represent 10% of all consumers. Robinhood's expansion of trade hours follows its 2023 introduction of the Robinhood 24 Hour Market, allowing customers to trade U.S. equities 24/7, including weekends.
This move aims to cater to the growing reliance on AI among power users, who have integrated it into their regular financial routines, while also addressing the needs of mainstream AI users and the 53% of the population that has not adopted AI yet.
