Crypto is coming to agentic trading.
Eligible US customers will soon be able to connect their AI agent to a dedicated Robinhood account to trade crypto on their behalf, with the same real-time P&L tracking and push notifications they already know from agentic trading. More soon.… pic.twitter.com/b3p1nZeZ8Y

Robinhood plans to let eligible U.S. customers connect an AI agent to a dedicated account and trade crypto on their behalf. The company announced the upcoming expansion during a recent presentation, extending its Agentic Trading product beyond equities. Robinhood first launched Agentic Trading in beta on May 27 with support for equities only, while saying crypto, event contracts, and futures would follow.
The latest announcement confirms that crypto will be the next asset class added to the product. Connected AI agents will offer real-time profit-and-loss tracking and push notifications, similar to the features already available in the equities version.
Robinhood’s agentic trading setup is designed around a separate account structure. Customers open a dedicated account and fund it directly, and the AI agent only has access to those funds.
Users can disconnect the AI agent at any time. The agents connect through Robinhood’s Model Context Protocol servers, which are designed to support integrations between AI systems and financial tools.
Robinhood said early demand for agentic accounts has been strong. More than 70,000 agentic accounts have reportedly opened in the first few weeks since the product launched.
The expansion into crypto reflects a broader push by trading and financial technology platforms to bring AI agents into investing, payments, and automated financial workflows. Coinbase launched Coinbase for Agents in June, enabling users to connect agents for trades, payments, and other automated tasks.
AI agents have also begun moving into tokenized stocks through platforms such as Virtuals. This growing activity suggests that agentic finance is becoming a new competitive area across crypto, brokerage, and fintech markets.
The rapid adoption has also drawn regulatory attention. In June, House Financial Services Committee Democrats sent the SEC a list of 13 questions about agentic trading, with a July 31 deadline for responses.
Representatives Bill Foster and Brad Sherman raised concerns that AI agents trained on similar data could herd into similar trades and amplify market volatility. They also questioned how liability should be handled among broker-dealers, AI developers, and customers when automated agents make trading decisions.
Robinhood’s planned crypto rollout could become an important test case for how AI agents are used in retail financial markets. The company is positioning the product as a way to give retail investors access to tools that have historically been more common among institutional traders, while regulators are beginning to examine the risks created by automated decision-making at scale.
