Micro futures are smaller-sized futures contracts that enable traders to speculate on or hedge against price fluctuations of various assets like stock indices, commodities, or currencies. These contracts require less capital and carry a lower risk compared to standard futures.

Earlier this year, Robinhood began offering futures products for foreign exchange, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Its initial set of crypto futures, all cash-settled, incorporated Bitcoin futures, micro Bitcoin futures, Bitcoin Friday futures, and ETH futures. This service was later extended to include XRP and Solana futures.

Just a few weeks ago, Robinhood concluded its $200 million acquisition of crypto exchange Bitstamp, a move that analysts believe will support the U.S.-based trading company’s global expansion. The firm is also reportedly planning to acquire the WonderFi platform, endorsed by Kevin O’Leary.
