Vlad Tenev (CEO) and Johan Kerbrat (SVP, Crypto) anchor a globe-themed event at the Old Royal Naval College on the Greenwich Meridian Line, staging Robinhood’s international push around the metaphor of a ‘flat’ world for ownership. The agenda covers global expansion (Canada via WonderFi, Singapore’s MAS Capital Markets Services license, Robinhood Europe broadening perpetual futures to oil, gold, silver, FX and ETFs at up to 10x leverage), and a major AI launch arc: an upgraded Cortex assistant with advanced reasoning, Agentic Accounts expanding from equities/options into crypto via the new Robinhood MCP, and a Guinness World Record attempted live for ‘most purchases by an AI agent in 3 minutes by a single credit card’ using the new Robinhood Agentic Credit Card.


Key bullet points:

  • Global scale: 1M+ funded accounts outside the US, 28M customers across 38 countries and three continents; rolling out crypto on the Robinhood UK app alongside a maker-order pro trading experience with fees as low as 0%.
  • Canada launch via WonderFi acquisition with zero trading fees for 90 days; Robinhood Singapore receives its MAS Capital Markets Services license, opening a path to brokerage services in the region.
  • Robinhood Europe expands perpetual futures from crypto-only into oil, gold, silver, ETFs and FX at up to 10x leverage, tradable 24/7; 5% boost on qualifying crypto deposits through July 30.
  • Cortex gets an advanced-reasoning upgrade that scans web events in real time and pairs them with pricing data and trading insights — rolling out this month to US Robinhood Gold members (UK and EU on the roadmap).
  • Agentic Accounts, already live for US equities and options with 70,000+ accounts opened in weeks, expand to crypto through the Robinhood MCP — third-party agents can act on patterns retail traders would otherwise miss, with push-notification checkpoints and custom guardrails.
  • Live Guinness World Record: the new Robinhood Agentic Credit Card completes 250 unique purchases in 3 minutes via an AI agent with a $10,000 spending cap and approvals off, verified on stage by Guinness adjudicator Pravin Patel with Professor George (Greenwich) as independent witness.
