Robinhood has launched a beta feature called Agentic Trading, enabling users to connect third-party AI agents to dedicated trading accounts for autonomous stock execution. The feature, available since May 27, currently supports equities, but plans are underway to expand to options, crypto, event contracts, and futures trading.
Users create separate "agentic accounts," walled off from their main portfolio. AI agents can only access funds specifically deposited into these accounts. The system runs on Robinhood's Model Context Protocol servers, bridging third-party AI agents with the brokerage's trading infrastructure.
A real-time feed tracks all AI agent activity, including profit and loss. Tiered approval settings allow full autonomy within spending limits or require manual approval before each trade. Strategies include portfolio rebalancing, thematic investing, and other systematic approaches.
CEO Vlad Tenev framed the initiative as democratizing finance, making the platform accessible not just to humans but to their AI agents. This follows March 2025's launch of Robinhood Cortex, an AI assistant for market analysis and insights for Gold subscribers. Agentic Trading moves from AI that advises to AI that acts.
Robinhood confirmed crypto is on the roadmap but has not specified which digital assets will be supported or when.
