Robinhood Rolls Out Sports Wagering Capabilities – Just in Time for NFL Playoffs

Robinhood Markets is expanding its sports event contracts to include additional sports wagering capabilities. The platform lets users wager on precise football stats, including the number of touchdowns a player can make, receiving and rushing yards for a player.

The online brokerage unveiled a list of updates to its sports-focused prediction markets business, Reuters reported. The rollout comes just in time for the NFL playoffs, scheduled in January 2026.

Robinhood Launches Enhanced ‘Preset Combos’

According to Robinhood’s official announcement, customers can trade what it calls “preset combos” for individual professional football games. These combine multiple event contracts and only pay out if each event within the combination resolves correctly.

These combos resemble parlay bets in traditional gambling, JB Mackenzie, VP and general manager of futures and international at Robinhood, told CNBC.

“We’re trying to build new customer experiences that make it easier and, in some cases, provide them more advanced order types and trading capabilities to meet the needs that they’re asking us for,” Mackenzie said.

New Player Contracts Let Customers Track, Trade Individual Pro Player

Besides, Robinhood has announced player contracts, which let users track and trade individual pro football player performances.

Player contracts for other sports are forthcoming, Robinhood noted. “These tools give traders greater precision, control, and access to the events they care about most,” the company added.

Event contracts have exploded in popularity since the U.S. presidential election. Since its launch in 2024, Robinhood’s prediction markets has reported 11 billion contracts traded by more than 1 million customers.

“There are a plethora of competitors. But with us being early to market, we’ve been able to fine-tune our product,” said Adam Hickerson, senior director of futures at Robinhood, told Reuters.

The most popular contracts have been in sports. According to the Pew Research Center, 22% of adults in the US said they’ve personally bet money on sports in the past year.

On Tuesday, Robinhood also announced new features for its brokerage platform, including updates to Robinhood Cortex, its AI-powered investing assistant.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
