Robinhood has unleashed a verified social trading network with real-time trade metrics, cross-asset execution, and AI-powered tools—redefining how investors connect, analyze, and trade.
Robinhood Social Launch Brings Verified Trades, Crypto Access, and Real-Time Metrics
Robinhood Markets (Nasdaq: HOOD) announced on Sept. 10 at the HOOD Summit 2025 in Las Vegas a slate of new features aimed at drawing more active traders. The centerpiece of the event was Robinhood Social, with the company stating:
We unveiled Robinhood Social, a new trading community within the Robinhood app featuring live, verified trades and authentic profiles, where you can discuss strategies, follow experts, and more.
Robinhood Social is designed to address the reliability issues traders face when relying on external platforms. The company noted that users often turn to social media to follow market commentary but face uncertainty about what information is credible. To solve this, Robinhood Social integrates trading directly into the community: customers will be able to see trades unfold live, with all entries and exits verified in real time. Traders can also discuss strategies, start trades directly from the feed, and monitor others’ one-year and daily profit and loss metrics, profit rates, and past trades.
Chief executive Vlad Tenev stressed the firm’s broader ambitions, stating: “Robinhood is no longer just where you trade – it’s your financial superapp.”
The service will allow members to follow insiders, hedge funds, and politicians by tracking publicly disclosed filings. Robinhood emphasized:
This is the first social platform where you can trade across stocks, options, futures, crypto, and prediction markets, all without switching apps.
Every profile will be tied to a verified identity under know-your-customer rules to ensure authenticity. Robinhood added: “Robinhood Social is launching by invitation only to a select number of customers in the US early next year with broader availability expected to follow. It will be available at no additional cost.”
Alongside its social launch, Robinhood expanded its Legend platform to include futures trading and crypto support through new trading ladders. Already used on mobile for futures, the ladders will soon cover stocks, ETFs, and crypto in the U.S., though crypto remains unavailable in the UK. The company also introduced Robinhood Cortex, an AI assistant that builds custom chart indicators without coding and performs real-time scans across stocks, ETFs, futures, and crypto. Device linking will extend to crypto ladders, allowing users to view charts on desktop while trading on mobile. The updates reflect Robinhood’s push to unify trading tools for stocks, options, crypto, and futures on a single platform.
