Robinhood to Launch Crypto Perpetual Futures With 10x Leverage

The new perpetual contracts will cover eight digital assets, including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK, and HYPE. While Bitcoin and Ether will support 10x leverage, the remaining six assets will be capped at 3x. According to CEO Vlad Tenev, the contracts feature no expiration date, with profit and loss settled every 15 minutes. Robinhood Derivatives will provide the platform, leveraging infrastructure from Bitstamp, the exchange Robinhood acquired in 2025.

To manage risk, the app will include real-time liquidation price monitoring, automated alerts, and stop-loss and take-profit order capabilities. Traders will face a promotional fee of 0.01% through the end of 2026. This move follows a series of regulatory developments in the U.S. regarding crypto derivatives, though Robinhood maintains its offerings will function under its existing status as an NFA member and CFTC-registered entity.

Beyond crypto, the company revealed plans for 24/7 weekend trading for selected U.S. equities and ETFs, slated for early 2027 pending regulatory review. The initiative will be hosted on the Bruce ATS venue. Additionally, the firm is launching Robinhood Agents, an in-app system allowing users to deploy AI for market research and automated trade execution. This feature builds on the company's existing AI-integrated trading accounts, enabling users to set recurring instructions—termed "Loops"—for automated market participation.
