The app you use to trade stocks increasingly wants to be the app you use to manage your financial life.
Investing, banking, credit, crypto, retirement, prediction markets, and AI-powered trading are converging. At the same time, consumers expect financial products to be as intuitive and responsive as the best technology products they use every day — without compromising the trust they expect when their money is involved.
Join the conversation withAbhishek Fatehpuriaon October 13–15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, where 10,000+ founders, investors, and tech decision-makers will come together to examine and connect with the companies, technologies, and business models shaping what comes next.
Robinhood, which became synonymous with commission-free stock trading, now spans a much wider financial landscape. Its offerings include investing, banking, credit, crypto, retirement, and prediction markets, while its recent launches have pushed further into AI, private markets, and international expansion.
The scale is significant. Robinhood reported 28.6 million funded customers and $384 billion in total platform assets at the end of August 2026.
And customers are increasingly using products outside Robinhood’s original trading proposition. In its second-quarter results, the company said Robinhood Banking had attracted more than $3 billion in deposits, its credit card business had surpassed $100 million in annualized revenue, and prediction markets had traded more than 3.5 billion contracts through that point.
Consumer expectations rarely change one feature at a time. Once people become accustomed to instant access, personalized recommendations, and seamless digital experiences in one part of their lives, they begin expecting them elsewhere.
Finance is no exception. Robinhood is now experimenting with AI-powered investing tools, including Cortex and Agentic Trading. In Q2, the company said nearly 100,000 customers had already opened Agentic Trading accounts, allowing users to trade equities, options, and crypto through AI-powered agents.
Meanwhile, prediction markets have become one of its fastest-growing businesses. Robinhood said 4.7 billion event contracts were traded in August alone — up 15x year-over-year.
Forfounders, Fatehpuria’s session offers a look at how a product organization keeps expanding without losing sight of the customer experience that drove its original growth.
Forinvestors, it’s a window into how one company is trying to increase wallet share by moving from individual products toward a broader financial ecosystem.
For line-of-business and product leaders, the lessons extend well beyond fintech: prioritization, trust, customer behavior, and the difficulty of adding complexity without making the experience feel complex.
And if you’re earlier in your career, studying where technology and finance are heading, it’s a chance to see how one of the sector’s best-known platforms thinks about building for the next generation of customers.
The financial consumer is changing. The products competing for that consumer have to change with them.
