Robinhood to Let AI Agents Trade Crypto, Dedicated Accounts Top 70,000
Robinhood says its Agentic Trading service will soon expand to crypto assets, allowing eligible US users to connect third-party AI agents via the MCP interface to dedicated accounts, where agents can analyze markets, devise strategies, and place orders on their behalf.
Since opening for testing in late May 2026, Robinhood users have created over 70,000 agent accounts, which currently support stock and options trading. These accounts are segregated from users' primary accounts, with agents only able to use separately allocated funds. Users can monitor trades and disconnect at any time.
A specific launch date for the crypto asset feature has not yet been announced.
