Robinhood Markets

Robinhood will allow customers to trade US stocks around the clock on weekends, extending its 24-hour market access beyond weekdays. The move follows a broader industry shift toward continuous trading, as brokerages and exchanges respond to demand for round-the-clock access to US equities from retail investors, including those in other time zones.

Robinhood has rolled out advanced trading tools previously reserved for hedge funds to its retail customer base. The move gives everyday traders access to sophisticated instruments and strategies once limited to professional investors. Coverage frames it as a significant escalation in the democratization-of-finance trend, with analysts weighing the benefits of broader market access against the risks of putting complex tools in the hands of inexperienced traders.
