> The rollout covers commodities, ETFs and foreign-exchange pairs, with leverage varying by contract and access limited to eligible European customers.

Robinhood began rolling out perpetual futures tied to traditional assets for eligible European customers on July 1, expanding its derivatives platform beyond crypto markets.

The contracts cover gold, silver, WTI and Brent crude oil, the QQQ exchange-traded fund, the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF and the EUR/USD foreign-exchange pair. Trading is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with access being introduced in waves.

Leverage varies by product. Robinhood’s product documentation lists maximum leverage of 5x for WTI, Brent and EWY contracts, and 10x for EUR/USD.

Perpetual futures do not have an expiration date. They allow traders to take long or short positions without owning the underlying asset, using margin and funding payments to help keep contract prices aligned with spot markets.

The traditional-asset offering is currently limited to Europe, and no equivalent rollout for U.S. customers has been announced. Robinhood’s disclosures warn that leveraged positions can face liquidation when underlying markets reopen after price gaps.
