Beyond the Robinhood Chain ecosystem, the company announced several additional product launches and international expansion efforts. Robinhood said it was expanding perpetual futures trading in Europe to include commodities, ETFs and foreign exchange markets alongside crypto. It also plans to launch cryptocurrency trading in the UK and said its services are now available in Canada following the acquisition of WonderFi.
The company also unveiled Agentic Accounts for crypto, an AI-powered trading tool that will allow eligible US users to connect AI models to Robinhood’s trading infrastructure while retaining control over capital allocation and trading settings.
“Decentralized finance opens up possibilities beyond what traditional finance can offer, but historically it has required technical expertise to navigate,” Johann Kerbrat, senior vice president of crypto at Robinhood.
Robinhood’s product campaign shows how the lines between crypto and traditional finance continue to blur. Brokerage has gradually expanded beyond stocks and spot crypto trading to tokenized stocks, derivatives, and event-driven contracts, better known as prediction markets. This strategy is part of the race for “everything exchange” to host all kinds of commercial and financial activities under one roof, increasingly above the blockchain rails.
At the same time, the company also announced last month that it would lay off 10% of its workforce, or some 290 employees, in order to streamline its organization and management structure.
