Robinhood just launched “OpenAI tokens” in Europe, but OpenAI says they had nothing to do with it. Uh-oh.

🚨 Breaking News:
OpenAI publicly distanced itself from Robinhood's crypto tokens, saying they never approved the use of their name or equity.

  • Robinhood offered tokenized OpenAI and SpaceX shares in Europe

  • OpenAI said these tokens are not official and warned users

  • Robinhood used its ownership in a special vehicle to issue tokens

  • EU users got 5€ worth of tokens as a promo
