Robinhood hints at futures trading in Bitcoin

Robinhood is expanding its trading offerings with the launch of futures trading for Bitcoin.

The company teased the upcoming feature on X, stating it is “coming soon,” alongside an update on its website confirming the expansion.

“Futures trading with our new intuitive trading ladder is coming soon to Robinhood,” the company posted.

The move marks Robinhood’s latest push into broader investment options, particularly in crypto-related assets. The new trading offerings will also include oil, gold, and major financial instruments such as the S&P 500, U.S. dollar, and euro.

Robinhood’s moves 

Earlier this month, Robinhood Crypto launched its services in Spain, enabling users to trade, stake, and invest in cryptocurrencies directly on the platform. This expansion is a key part of Robinhood’s strategy to strengthen its presence throughout the European Union.

While Robinhood has historically offered fewer crypto assets than competitors like Coinbase and Kraken, it has been gradually expanding its selection.. 

Robinhood has also been growing its crypto services internationally. In October, Robinhood Crypto launched a feature allowing European customers to transfer Bitcoin (BTC), and nearly 20 other cryptocurrencies to external wallets or exchanges.
