Quirk said in a Friday interview, noting an average customer age in the low 30s.<\/p>\n<p>Similarities exist between legacy trading firms and Robinhood, he said, but there are many differences that influence the latter\u2019s product development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The technology and products we roll out cater to our customers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Robinhood, around 50% of the self-directed trading occurs on mobile, which means most of the trading is done on phones, Quirk said. <\/p>\n<p>With the growth of retirement accounts and more sophisticated traders joining Robinhood, Quirk said the company saw demand for web-based apps and platforms alongside mobile, which went into the company&#8217;s new trading platform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are attracting a lot of large customers from other brokerages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Quirk emphasized the amount of effort Robinhood puts into researching customers to make better tools and products and also the effort made in education to make people feel comfortable switching their accounts over to Robinhood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Education is critical.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The HOOD Summit has helped show Quirk stories of investors changing their lives through Robinhood tools and investment platforms, he said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those stories make you motivated to continue to deliver for the customers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/options\/24\/10\/41389775\/exclusive-cboe-ceo-says-robinhood-growth-an-eye-opener-unpredictable-2024-election-could-increase\">EXCLUSIVE: Cboe CEO Says Robinhood Growth \u2018An Eye Opener,\u2019 Unpredictable 2024 Election Could Increase Market Volatility<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Platform For Everything:<\/strong> Robinhood recently announced a partnership with <strong>Cboe Global Markets <\/strong><span class=\"ticker\" data-ticker=\"CBOE\" data-exchange=\"BATS\" style=\"display: inline-block;\">CBOE<\/span> that will bring futures trading to customers, which Quirk said is one of the platform\u2019s most-requested features. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a natural,&#8221; Quirk said.<\/p>\n<p>The tax advantages of futures and the fact they operate around the clock are some of the reasons they are in demand from Robinhood customers, he said. <\/p>\n<p>With its offerings of stocks, options, futures and cryptocurrency, Quirk highlighted the uniqueness of the Robinhood platform during his interview with Benzinga&#8217;s <strong>Zunaid Suleman<\/strong> at the HOOD Summit in Miami. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re the only place in U.S. where you can do it all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robinhood offers the ability to make recurring investments in any asset, including cryptocurrency, Quirk said.
