Robinhood, the popular trading app, hit $100 per share after a huge crypto push in Europe (yes, that token drama).
đ¨ Breaking News:
Robinhood stock hit a new all-time high as it unveiled a bold plan to tokenize thousands of financial assets on its new blockchain.
âĄWire Simplified
Robinhood launched tokenized shares for OpenAI and SpaceX (no U.S. access)
CEO Vlad Tenev says theyâre just putting product in customersâ hands
Theyâre building their own blockchain using Ethereum tech
Plans include 24/5 trading and tokenizing stocks, ETFs, and private equity
Revenue is already up 50% YoY and they just launched staking in the U.S.
âď¸Straight to the Point
Robinhood is going full crypto mode and investors love it, but big moves come with bigger questions and bigger risks.

If you care about money or power, stay close to AI, because for the foreseeable future this will be the big source of change in both.
