Robinhood Accelerates Crypto-Linked Strategy Amid Global Growth Plans
Rohanhood Markets Inc., parent company of Robinhood, is expanding its crypto-linked products and tokenized securities. CEO Vlad Tenev believes this strategy will broaden global access to U.S. assets.
Tenev told CNBC that stock tokens allow individuals in over 120 countries to access high-quality U.S. financial assets. These tokens are backed by underlying shares at the issuer, giving holders economic exposure to those shares.
The company's Robinhood Chain has seen growing volumes, partly due to users combining stock tokens with decentralized-finance products.
