Robinhood said Wednesday it plans to let customers use artificial intelligence agents to trade crypto on its platform.

The popular retail-focused trading platform is kicking off its agentic trading initiative with a beta launch limited to equities. Customers will be able to set up their AI agents on the platform to trade on their behalf, separate from their main portfolio.

"Customers can connect their own AI agents to Robinhood to help manage and automate trading and credit card purchases, with built-in safety controls and a real-time activity feed," the company said in a statement. "You can build agents to help manage your investments and spending safely and autonomously. You can now give your agents direct access to Robinhood without the workarounds or unofficial APIs holding you back elsewhere."

Robinhood's agentic trading launch echoes a broader interest in “agentic finance,” a new layer of trading where AI agents autonomously manage investing, payments and financial decisions. Across the digital assets industry, much of the discussion has focused on AI agents capable of trading crypto and using stablecoin rails for transactions.

Top U.S. cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Gemini are also making inroads in agentic trading.

On Wednesday, Robinhood said people can connect their AI agents to "Robinhood’s AI-native Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for fast, seamless integration."

Although Robinhood has, in recent years, leaned increasingly more into crypto, during the first quarter of this year, the company's crypto revenues and trading volumes dropped by roughly 50%. Last year, Robinhood completed at $200 million acquisition of the cryptocurrency trading platform Bitstamp.

"Our mission has always been to democratize finance for all, and now, that mission extends to AI agents," Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said Wednesday.
