Tenev said that retail trading in the future will likely be initiated by AI Agents, which can monitor markets around the clock and trade multiple assets. Since connecting to third-party AI Agents via MCP in May and integrating them into the app in late September, there have been more than 150,000 dedicated accounts. Funds remain in separate accounts, and Agents can only place orders through dedicated accounts after funds are transferred into them. Built-in Agents require approval for each transaction, while external MCP Agents do not require approval by default, though users can enable it. In the future, strategies may be deployed on servers near exchanges to reduce latency, but this has not yet launched.
