My bet is they won't. It's hype driven development. I work in the space(we build one of the bigger exchanges based on Hyperliquid) and our design/product people are spasming at the thought of releasing MCP/Openclaw skill for trading. I'm 99% sure it will all be a flop, month from now noone will ever know these exist but this is what everyone in that space is doing right now, quite literally, everyone. Not a single sane person will give meaningful amount of money to LLM for actual trading.

r/wallstreetbets enters the picture... it will happen. And if it's not the "well-regarded" WSB people, it will be someone who drank way too much of the AI kool-aid.

I was definitely wondering this. As I understand it they make money on order flow and don't charge for transactions (is that right?). But allowing LLMs to trade dilutes the true information in the order flow.

On the other hand maybe it's just chasing trends, like their previous forays into blockchains. It pays because it keeps their name in the news.

Robinhood (and retail in general) order flow is valuable precisely because there's already no information in it. It's assumed to be more or less random.

Institutional order flow can move the market, or be an indicator that the market is going to move in that direction. So executing against it a worse bet than executing against retail flow.
