几十年来，投资者若想为投资组合增加新资产，通常会先咨询经纪人或阅读财经刊物，再动用自己辛苦赚来的钱。如今，很多年轻投资者转向YouTube或X等社交媒体平台寻找有用的建议，但往往会遇到一群骗子兜售可能自己都没投资的可疑资产。Robinhood表示，将解决这一问题。
9月9日，该交易巨头宣布推出新应用“Robinhood Social”，用户可在应用里关注知名投资者，愿意的话还可以模仿交易。这种所谓“跟单交易”或“镜像交易”在欧洲等地很常见，但在美国因监管原因相对受限，所以非正式的做法才会在社交媒体上盛行。
与其他跟单交易平台不同，明年初上线的Robinhood应用不允许用户根据他人的操作自动买卖，只能手动跟进投资操作。
该应用主要是帮用户找到志同道合的投资者社区，还会展示知名投资者及国会议员的交易记录。长期以来国会议员一直凭借特权信息买卖股票（不过一项即将通过的法案可能很快会限制这种行为）。
平台不仅展示股票交易的操作，还包括加密货币、期权和其他资产的交易行为。关键是，所有Robinhood Social用户必须验证真实身份，还要提交证据证明声称的投资组合和头寸属实。这与社交媒体上诸多投资宣传形成了鲜明反差，各平台上不少人以化名发布虚假或伪造的信息。
Robinhood负责经纪业务产品的副总裁阿比舍克・法特普里亚表示，公司计划明年一季度先招募1万名种子用户，然后再向全体客户开放。
“我们希望社群从一开始就保持活跃且健康，”他说。
Robinhood在年度HOOD峰会上发布了该社交应用，同时宣布了扩展的人工智能功能，其中包括方便选股的新工具。（*）

For decades, investors looking to add a new asset to their portfolio would talk to their broker or scour financial publications before parting with their hard earned money. Today, many younger investors turn to social media platforms like YouTube or X where they can find helpful tips—but more often a passel of predatory scammers shilling dubious assets they may not even have invested in. It’s a problem, but one Robinhood says it is poised to fix.
On Tuesday, the trading giant announced a new app feature called “Robinhood Social” where users can follow prominent traders and, if they wish, mimic their trades. This sort of activity, known as “copy trading” or “mirror trading,” is common in Europe and other jurisdictions but is largely restricted in the U.S., partly for regulatory reasons. This has driven a more informal version of the practice on social media.
Unlike other copy trading platforms, Robinhood’s version—which is launching early next year—won’t allow users to automatically buy and sell based on what others are doing, though they will be able to replicate others’ trades manually.
While Robinhood Social is primarily aimed at letting users find-like minded communities of investors, the platform will also show the trades of famous investors and Members of Congress, who have long bought and sold stocks based on privileged information (though an impending bill could soon restrict this).
The service will display the activities of not just stock traders, but also of those trading crypto, options and other assets. Critically, the company will also require that every Robinhood Social user verify their true identity, and to provide evidence they actually have the portfolios and positions that they claim. This stands in contrast to many of the investment claims on social media, where people regularly post fake or falsified information under pseudonyms.
According to the company’s VP of Product Management for Brokerage, Abhishek Fatehpuria, the plan is to create an initial pool of 10,000 Robinhood Social users in the first quarter of next year, before rolling it out to all customers.
“We want to make sure the community is vibrant and healthy from day one,” said Fatehpuria.
Robinhood announced the new social feature at its annual HOOD summit, where it also announced expanded AI features that include new tools to easily construct stock screeners.
