Techub News reports that according to Bloomberg, OpenAI states that the tokens provided by Robinhood are not company equity, and OpenAI has neither collaborated nor recognized this issuance. In response, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that although these tokens are technically not equity (i.e., actual ownership in the company), 'these tokens actually give retail investors access to these private assets.' A spokesperson for Robinhood stated in an email declaration: 'The issuance of these tokens is made possible by Robinhood's ownership in a special purpose vehicle (SPV). Therefore, while technically we do not 'own stock', these tokens provide customers with the opportunity to access the private market.'
