Robinhood unveiled two new products on Wednesday: Agentic Trading and an Agentic Credit Card. Both are designed to let AI agents act on users’ behalf, either in the markets or at checkout.

The launch makes Robinhood one of the first platforms to bring autonomous AI trading to retail investors rather than institutional ones.
HOOD stock was up 0.61% on the day.
Users can connect third-party AI assistants to a dedicated trading account ā separate from their main portfolio ā and let those agents execute strategies automatically. That separation means agents can only touch the capital a user specifically sets aside.
Agents can rebalance portfolios, monitor themes like AI stocks, or carry out other preset strategies without the user needing to lift a finger.
The Agentic Credit Card works similarly. Users attach a virtual Robinhood Gold card to an AI agent, which can then make purchases automatically ā buying concert tickets before they sell out or pulling the trigger on a product once the price hits a set threshold.
What Safeguards Are in Place?
Robinhood said it built guardrails into both products. Users can set spending limits, require manual approval before any purchase, and disconnect an agent immediately if something looks off.
The platform also sends notifications whenever a trade or purchase is made, keeping users in the loop.
CEO Vlad Tenev framed it as an extension of the company’s core mission. “Our mission has always been to democratize finance for all, and now, that mission extends to AI agents,” he said.
The rollout comes as the broader industry wrestles with how much autonomy to hand over to AI systems. A Deloitte survey published in April found that only 21% of organizations believe they have a mature governance model in place for agentic AI.
What Comes Next
Right now, the agentic trading feature only supports equities. Robinhood said it expects to expand to derivatives, crypto, and prediction markets down the line.
Abhishek Fatehpuria, vice president of product management for brokerage at Robinhood, said the initial target audience is clear: “I think our audience right now is the early adopters of agents.”
Visa launched a similar initiative in 2025, opening a platform that let users delegate online shopping to AI agents.
Robinhood’s fraud-monitoring systems can review both user instructions and agent actions if disputes arise, the company said.
