Robinhood’s Abhishek Fatehpuria on winning the modern financial consumer at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

The app you use to trade stocks increasingly wants to be the app you use to manage your financial life.

Investing, banking, credit, crypto, retirement, prediction markets, and AI-powered trading are converging. At the same time, consumers expect financial products to be as intuitive and responsive as the best technology products they use every day — without compromising the trust they expect when their money is involved.

Few companies illustrate that shift as clearly as Robinhood. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Abhishek Fatehpuria, Vice President of Product Management for Brokerage at Robinhood, joins the Smart Money Stage with “Winning the Modern Financial Consumer.” He’ll explore how technology and changing expectations are reshaping financial services, and what it takes to build trusted products at massive scale.

Join the conversation with Abhishek Fatehpuria on October 13–15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, where 10,000+ founders, investors, and tech decision-makers will come together to examine and connect with the companies, technologies, and business models shaping what comes next.

From trading app to financial platform

Robinhood, which became synonymous with commission-free stock trading, now spans a much wider financial landscape. Its offerings include investing, banking, credit, crypto, retirement, and prediction markets, while its recent launches have pushed further into AI, private markets, and international expansion.

The scale is significant. Robinhood reported 28.6 million funded customers and $384 billion in total platform assets at the end of August 2026.

The next customer may expect something completely different

Meanwhile, prediction markets have become one of its fastest-growing businesses. Robinhood said 4.7 billion event contracts were traded in August alone — up 15x year-over-year.
