  • Public market wealth creation is structurally broken - OpenAI, SpaceX, and Anthropic will IPO at multi-trillion valuations. The 1,000x retail return on Amazon or Microsoft is a historical artifact.

  • Robinhood Chain is live: 2,000 US equity tokens, 24/7, in 120+ countries on Arbitrum L2, each 1:1 backed by real shares. Robinhood Ventures holds Stripe, OpenAI, SpaceX, and Revolut as a publicly traded closed-end fund.

  • Robinhood is the sole initial broker for Trump accounts - every US newborn gets a brokerage account from birth. Tenev draws the 401k analogy: that program moved equity participation from 20% to 50%.


Vlad Tenev thinks retail investors are about to miss the biggest wealth-creation cycle in a generation - and he is building the infrastructure to prevent it.
