Robinhood Expands to 24/7 US Stock Trading Including Weekends with New Features
Robinhood is expanding its trading platform to allow 24/7 trading of select US stocks and ETFs, including weekend transactions, reflecting a broader industry shift toward longer trading hours. The platform will also introduce features like earnings-related bets, perpetual futures, AI trading agents, and a social platform. Since launching round-the-clock weekday trading in 2023, about 25% of daily volume on busy days occurred outside traditional hours. This move aims to offer traders greater flexibility and attract more global investors.
