The story
Robinhood is opening its platform to AI agents that can autonomously trade stocks and make credit card purchases on behalf of users, a significant product expansion into agentic finance. The launch adds a credible growth narrative but insider selling pressure and a stock already up sharply YTD create a tricky risk/reward setup.
