The launch of overnight index options will provide investors with near 24-hour access during the week. In addition, a universal ladder tool will connect order books across equities, crypto, and futures, while short selling will be introduced on the equities ladder for the first time.
Social Features and AI Plans
Beyond trading tools, Robinhood announced Robinhood Social, a new service that will enable users to follow traders with verified identities and view their trades in real-time. Investors will also be able to track hedge funds, politicians, and other public figures. The initial trial will open to about 10,000 users in early 2026.
At the same time, Robinhood is expanding its use of artificial intelligence. A new assistant will allow users to create custom stock scans and indicators without coding skills. More Cortex AI features will roll out to Gold members next year. The company also plans to release its most requested tools, a dividend tracker and portfolio comparisons, within the next year.
Overall, Robinhood is combining advanced trading options with new social and AI products. The company expects this mix to appeal to a broad range of users while keeping up with rapid growth in the market.
