Robinhood plans to let eligible U.S. customers trade crypto perpetual futures in its app with up to 10x leverage, part of a batch of trading products the company unveiled on Tuesday night at its HOOD Summit in Houston.

“Robinhood is bringing America its first true perps,” CEO Vlad Tenev wrote on X, adding that profit and loss would settle every 15 minutes.

The perps will be offered by Robinhood Derivatives through Bitstamp over the next few months. Traders will be able to go long or short, with no expiry date, on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK and HYPE. Bitcoin and ether perps carry up to 10x leverage, and the other six are capped at 3x. Through year-end, Robinhood said it will charge one basis point (0.01%) on each trade.

The plan follows a late-May move by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that cleared the way for Kalshi to list a bitcoin perpetual and for Coinbase to route U.S. clients to perps listed by its Bermuda affiliate.
