Robinhood will soon support a feature that lets eligible customers in the United States delegate cryptocurrency trading to third-party AI agents. Cointelegraph reported on July 11 that Robinhood plans to expand to crypto an autonomous trading function it introduced to stock and options investors in May.
The company has not disclosed a launch date. Robinhood plans to offer the feature to U.S. customers first and then expand it to customers in Britain.
The feature supports users in building trading strategies with AI agents and delegating trades within preset limits. Robinhood explained that users can create strategies with specific guardrails so they do not have to keep watching their accounts.
Robinhood is already testing the same feature in stocks and options. Cointelegraph reported that since the beta version launched in late May, the number of agent accounts created by stock and options investors has topped 70,000.
Robinhood stressed that AI agents can trade based on data that individual investors can easily miss, which is useful for narrowing the information gap with institutional investors.
