Robinhood’s AI account push puts agent trading closer to real money use

A PANews commentary by Yuki (Liu Yuqing) uses a friend’s experiment with an AI-managed Robinhood account to frame a broader shift in retail finance. The account, run by an agent for more than a month, showed returns above 20%, but the article argues that the performance figure alone says little without a benchmark, drawdown data, or a full trading record. The more important signal, it says, is that users are beginning to hand real accounts to AI systems rather than using them only for research or idea generation. The piece traces Robinhood’s AI buildout from its 2024 acquisition of Pluto, an AI investment research platform, to the 2025 launch of Cortex and then to Agentic Trading in May 2026. Under that setup, users can open a separate Agentic Account, move part of their funds into it, and connect third-party models such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok, or a custom-built agent through Robinhood’s Trading MCP. Robinhood later expanded Agentic Trading from stocks and options into crypto, and also introduced an Agentic Credit Card. The article’s core argument is that the biggest product question is not whether AI can always outperform, but how platforms define permissions, limits, audit trails, and human override once an agent is allowed to trade or spend.

Charles Schwab Plans to Add SOL, AVAX and LINK Trading in the Coming Months

Charles Schwab said Thursday it plans to add Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to its crypto trading platform in the coming months, broadening its lineup beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The firm did not give a launch date. The move comes roughly three months after Schwab began rolling out direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to select retail clients, after previously limiting crypto exposure to exchange-traded products and stocks such as Coinbase and Strategy. Schwab said the three new tokens will be available across its website, mobile app and thinkorswim platform. The company set trading fees at 75 basis points, or 0.75%, equal to $7.50 on a $1,000 order, and said the rate is among the lowest in the industry. Schwab also reiterated its broader digital-asset push: it had said in 2024 that it would enter the market once U.S. regulation became clearer, then confirmed in April 2026 that Bitcoin and Ethereum trading would come first, followed by a phased client rollout in May. CEO Rick Wurster has also said the firm wants to explore a dollar-pegged stablecoin, though none has been announced.

Charles Schwab Plans to Add Solana, Avalanche, Chainlink to Crypto Platform

Charles Schwab plans to add Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to its cryptocurrency trading platform over the next few months, the financial services giant said Thursday. The company did not provide a specific launch date for the three tokens. The expansion follows Schwab's introduction of direct bitcoin and ether trading for some retail clients about three months ago. Until then, those clients were limited to exchange-traded products and shares of companies such as Coinbase and Strategy, with no way to buy cryptocurrencies directly. Joe Vietri, Schwab's head of digital assets, said the new listings will give clients more options for digital asset allocation. Each of the three tokens is being added with a different technical profile: Solana focuses on fast and cheap transactions, Avalanche supports custom blockchain creation for enterprises and developers, and Chainlink connects blockchain networks with external data such as asset prices for smart contracts. Trading will be available through Schwab's website, mobile app and thinkorswim platform, with a fee of 75 basis points (0.75%) per trade.
