Episode Details

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev is urging U.S. regulators to catch up on tokenized stocks, arguing America risks falling behind as other nations leapfrog ahead with this tech. He envisions a future where real-time settlement and 24/7 trading could prevent market chaos like the GameStop meltdown, while also slashing settlement delays and streamlining cross-firm asset transfers. Though Robinhood already offers tokenized U.S. stocks to users in over 120 countries, holders don’t own the underlying shares — a critical nuance in the debate. Tenev’s core pitch: tokenization can modernize infrastructure, but without regulatory clarity, the U.S. could lose its edge in shaping the next era of finance.
