Robinhood Announces 10x Leverage for Bitcoin and Ether Futures Following Liquidations
Robinhood is launching perpetual futures with leverage up to 10x for Bitcoin and Ether, following a trading session that saw $478 million in crypto market liquidations.
Robinhood announced at its HOOD Summit on September 29, 2026, that it plans to offer perpetual futures trading with up to 10x leverage on Bitcoin and Ether for eligible U.S. customers in the coming months. The platform will also support perpetual contracts with up to 3x leverage for six other tokens, including Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, Cardano, Chainlink, and Hyperliquid. Separately, the company aims to offer weekend trading for select stocks and ETFs via Bruce ATS in early 2027, subject to regulatory approval.
The announcement came after significant volatility on September 28, when CoinGlass recorded $478 million in total liquidations across the crypto market, with long positions accounting for $386.5 million. As of October 3, Bitcoin traded at $84,621 (up 33.3% over 90 days but down 29.8% year-over-year), while Ether stood at $2,683 (up 51.8% over 90 days, down 38.7% annually).
Robinhood's perpetual contracts will settle gains and losses every 15 minutes. The article highlights the structural risks associated with high leverage, noting that a 10% price decline would completely wipe out margin on a 10x position and trigger automatic liquidation, whereas a 3x leveraged position would withstand a drop of approximately 33%.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
