A Look Back on HOOD Summit: Engines of Creation

Robinhood's third annual HOOD Summit brought record attendance and sessions, along with 15+ new products

This year's HOOD Summit was Robinhood's biggest event yet, drawing a record 1,500+ in-person attendees, 46+ million livestreams, and two action-packed days of content with 40+ sessions from 60+ speakers.

At our keynote event on September 29 we announced 15+ new products, including Robinhood Agents and Agent Apps, plans for 24/7 weekend trading for equities, perpetual futures for eligible U.S. customers, earnings contracts for key company metrics, and more. It was Robinhood's boldest step yet toward becoming the #1 place for active traders.

Brokerage services are offered through Robinhood Financial LLC, ("RHF") a registered broker dealer (memberSIPC), and clearing services through Robinhood Securities, LLC, ("RHS") a registered broker dealer (memberSIPC).

All investments involve risk and loss of principal is possible.

Binary KPI options such as earnings contracts are exchange-listed, cash-settled option contracts listed on an underlying KPI of an issuer. A call binary KPI option pays out if the settlement value of the underlying KPI is at or above the exercise price at expiration. A put binary KPI option pays out if the settlement value is below the exercise price at expiration.

The settlement value is determined not by the market price of the issuer's stock, but by whether a specific financial or operating metric reported by the issuer in an earnings-related filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission meets the applicable condition.

Each contract has a maximum payout of $1.00. Binary KPI options have a multiplier of 1 rather than the standard equity option contracts multiplier of 100. There are additional, unique risks with trading during extended hours you should be aware of before making an investment decision, including the risk of lower liquidity, increased volatility, greater spreads, and pricing uncertainty. Please review the Extended Hours Trading Disclosure for more information concerning these risks.

Robinhood Agents lets you build your own AI agent in the Robinhood app and connect it to a dedicated, self-directed Robinhood account.
