Vlad Tenev Wants to Tokenize SpaceX & OpenAI on Robinhood

Bullish:

• $TOKENIZATION - Tokenizing private securities could democratize access to investments in companies like OpenAI or SpaceX, which are currently difficult for most investors to access.

  • “We wrote an op ed actually in the Washington Post a couple months ago that I published that makes the case for tokenizing private securities. So if you think about it, right now it's hard to invest in OpenAI or SpaceX as a private company, and I think crypto can help solve that.”

• $PREDMKT - Prediction markets are seen as an evolution of news media, potentially providing information faster and more accurately than traditional sources.

  • “I think prediction markets are truth machines and they're an evolution of the news. They're an evolution of the newspaper where in some cases you even get the news via via prediction markets before it happens”

• $HOOD - Robinhood aims to provide all customers with access to financial opportunities and strategies typically available only to high net worth individuals.

  • “We want to give all of our customers the same access, opportunities, and strategies that a high net worth individual would have from their team of financial experts that help them with their financial life.”

• $FINTECH - The future of finance is likely to see a convergence of traditional banking systems and crypto technologies, with beneficial aspects from both sides being integrated.

  • “I think these worlds are likely to converge more than diverge. And there's good things about the traditional banking system that need to make their way into crypto and, obviously, the reverse.”

  • “We don't have branch offices. So we asked ourselves, how can we give you digital banking where you're not actually making sacrifices?”
